Husband knows best
Quote From: miffylynxAbout 2 years ago due to a miscommuntication with another family member, we stopped talking to my MIL. My husband does not seem to mind this. He has never been close to his mother. His dad passed away years ago, so that is not an issue. However, that is not the way I was raised. I would like to try to mend this, but I am not sure where to start. I was thinking of sending a mothers day card in the mail. She could always throw it out if she chooses. My husband says don't bother, its much better this way. Listen to your husband. He knows his mother better than you do. If he feels it is better this way, then believe him. You may open a door to disaster if you try to mend things with his mother. OR, wait until your husband is ready to open that door. There is a reason why your husband feels this way. I know, my husband is the same way with his mother. I refused to listen to him in the beginning, and I thought the same as you, but boy was I wrong. I later found out the reasons. By letting his mother into our lives, almost cost us our marriage. My husband was definately right about this decision.
