Wouldn't a hotel room solve most of these issues?
Heck, I would pay for it myself.
husband picking mom over me?
so. my husband is in the air force, and is leaving for a year in korea this june. he's going home to his parents for two weeks at the end of may solely for the purpose of saying goodbye. i would join on this trip, but im a teacher and can't take the last two weeks off school lol.
anyway, his mom called this weekend and said she and his dad want to come down the day before he leaves just so they can take him to the airport. and he said of course, it would be no problem.
i'm livid.
i wanted to be the last one he sees when he leaves. on top of that, i want to be alone when i get home after dropping off my husband (whom i wont be seeing for a year) so that i can deal with my emotions on my own. i also dont want to be in host mode when i get back from the airport- i want to just lay on the couch with a tub of ice cream. AND his mom is so damn controlling and overbearing, that i KNOW if she's here, she will make his leaving all about her. i'm sorry, but i will be the one who feels the impact of his absence the most. his parents are used to him being gone. i am not. i will be the one with the giant whole in my heart, not them.
i thought that when you got married, your spouse became the most important person in your life. i thought that you were supposed to leave behind your parents and make your spouse your priority.
my husband says i am equally as important as his mom. and that bothers me.
i have no idea what to do about the situation, or what to say to my husband...or my mother in law. HELP!
Re: Wouldn't a hotel room solve most of these issues?
i'd take it upon myself to call my MIL and tell her that we're not going to be able to host her, sorry for the inconvenience, and then hang up. i'm like that.
