I continually proved it over the years, but towards the end of her life, at a gathering at our house, she looked over and said "Himself is very happy." Which he was and is. And it was then the penny dropped for her, I believe. That even though I wasn't the one she wanted as a DIL, her son was happy to be with me all the same.<br /><br />She looked me straight in the eye and said, "He's really very happy." I knew that was as close to an apology as i'd ever get, so smiled and replied, "Thank you."<br /><br />My FIL and his dad both loved me and I them. <br /><br />I would have welcomed a warm, caring relationship with my MIL, but she had other ideas, so we were cordial and polite and left it at that.megan blogshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04555646904983619596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-53624391235364331322014-12-01T08:23:18.931+00:002014-12-01T08:23:18.931+00:00With terrible morning sickness we went to my mil f...With terrible morning sickness we went to my mil for lunch....faggotts.

The only thing I could do was to go find help from anywhere, so i looked for a way to get her back then a friend recommended me to contact Therapist Oniha of the winexbackspell@gmail.com that he will help me and as my friend said, Therapist Oniha helped me to bring back my wife in just in 3 days, I now have her back and this is the biggest joy of my life oohhhh am so happy now with her forever.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02012122493788242404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-41183924333304593742014-11-30T13:30:57.121+00:002014-11-30T13:30:57.121+00:00Third time lucky.

I'm still here though, 33+ years later. I'm still the love of my husband's life, our children love us, but are apathetic where she is concerned. My husband doesn't visit her as often as he used to; I guess that you really do reap what you sow.<br />Conversely,my parents welcomed my husband with open arms, and my husband was devastated when my Dad died, shedding tears for him, which is something he didn't feel or do when his own Dad died.<br />We have been the same with our SIL, and will be spending next Saturday with him and our daughter, and also his Mum and step-dad . They love our daughter very much, and we have a really good relationship with them too; they're great company and we get together with and without ' the children'.Scarlethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01729719876504930455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-3654666273924749892014-11-30T09:29:53.887+00:002014-11-30T09:29:53.887+00:00Gorgeous photo.

When I was pregnant with my daughter I was sure she was a girl (you didn't find out in those days). My nearly MIL had three boys and had always secretly wanted a daughter. I said I thought I was having a girl for her and she said that was great but she didn't "need" one any more as she had me now and that was good enough for her. I cried, she cried, great times :)mumasuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13063599072799536913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-10536946248994930202014-11-30T03:54:30.906+00:002014-11-30T03:54:30.906+00:00His new last name now is Kawabata.
