I'll try to jazz things up- IL Drama

I've posted about this before so I'm not going to really recap, sorry :P But MH has a strained r'ship with his parents and he likes for me to stay out of any business between them and him. This is also what you guys advised me to do when I posted about this months ago. Over the past few days, FIL has gotten angry at H for something irrational. This has caused FIL to send me texts last night, trying to make me feel guilty for how H acts in general toward him (FIL). H was out of the house and I didn't feel like simply ignoring the texts (as H would have told me to) so I texted FIL back, saying this kind of stuff is between H and him and I'm just in the middle. I was trying to tell him in a nice way "stop putting me in the middle, it's not fair to me." He didn't respond. And now I see that FIL just called my cell phone but I didn't pick up as I'm at work, and would not have anyway.

It's just too bad that FIL has to act like this. I genuinely DO like my ILs, but they have become so irrational over the past years. H has done NOTHING wrong toward them, he's always been a great person and a great son. I can't believe FIL acts so immature and tries to put me in the middle like this. My parents would never dream of acting this way toward MH!!!!

Just kinda venting I guess. I hate that my ILs obviously think that H and I are "in on it" together, like we're trying to be "mean" to them. I hate that they've aggravated MH so much over the past years, that he now acts rude toward them. Can't we all just get along? Stick out tongue

  • It sucks that you're stuck in the middle, but you're doing the right thing by staying out of it.  And what you see as irrational is probably well justified in their eyes.  Too bad they don't live far away - it would alleviate some of that stress.

  • Thanks, girls. I guess my post didn't jazz things up very much, lol.
  • How ridiculous that he texts you about the whole thing. I can't imagine one of my IL texting me because they didn't like how my H was behaving, that's absurd.

    Good for you for staying out of it!

  • Maybe once you texted him back saying you didn't want to be in the middle, he could appreciate your point of view.  Maybe the phone call was an apology?  If he calls again, you could always repeat what you said in your text & ask him to respect that.

    Good luck.  I can only imagine how uncomfotable that is for you.

    That's true. I hope he does realize how immature and weird it was for him to text me like that. I doubt my MIL knew he did it and she probably would have been mortified if she knew. Sigghhh... all I can do is stay out of it.
