I think she yanked it. But here's the saved DD thread:
http://community.thenest.com/cs/ks/forums/thread/64471330.aspx
You must mean the "MIL Problem" thread --- oye...she thinks she can fix him -- and she's claiming that that's the "just one problem" she has with him.
So the thing I don't understand is: if the husband is worth putting up with the mother-in-law, why is this woman b.tching?
Oh, I know. In reality, if it was just a MIL problem, none of the things OP listed would be a big deal. They could ignore MIL and go about their happily ever after. But it's not just the MIL and OP has her head in the clouds if she thinks love is going to solve this problem.
That "just one problem" isn't the fact he leaves the toilet seat up or he;'s got a pesky little habit of not filling your tank with gas when he finishes using your car, which is what I told her -- the problem he's got can't be fixed.
I feel sorry for all of you that haven't experienced twuuuue wuuuuuuv. Seriously, I'm gonna like, pray a rosary or something.

We miss you and love you always, little firecrackers!
I really, really don't see what's so horrible about her MIL. So the woman's interested in their lives and wants to spend time with them. It's not like she's belitting the OP or setting their bushes on fire hoping to burn the house down. She sounds a little nosy and overly interested in what they're up to, but nothing in that post screamed horrible mother in law to me, more that the OP is a whiny child and the H was babied by his mother and married someone who wants to take care of him like his mommy did. I said that in the post, too. I would be willing to bet there are a lot of posters on that board that would enjoy having a MIL be nice to them or take an interest in their lives. I've seen way, way worse on that board, and think the OP is the one who's controlling and miserable, not the MIL.
I love that the future DIL is apparently in the wrong for wanting to include the MIL in apartment hunting and wedding planning (presumably to another of the MILs sons, obviously), and the OP is acting like it's some awful thing for the FDIL to even think about including the MIL.
