MIL Drama: Part 678954
Last night DH and I went to the O's game. Honestly, we haven't been to a game with just the two of us in years. DH used to go to 30 games a year with his brother and he stopped doing that this year because he just hasn't had the time to go to that many baseball games. This was actually DH's first baseball game of the year because he's been so busy.
I'm a Yankees fan. Everyone knows it. So of course when it was announced that it was Cal's statue unveiling and a Yanks game, well then I'm going. So I bought tickets for DH and I to go to the game. I didn't ask anyone else to go with us, but anyone else could have bought their own tickets and we could have met up for a drink or two at the game.
Somewhere in the third inning DH's phone started blowing up with text messages. I'm not even kidding you I can't count that high with how many ranting texts he was getting from his mom. The best one informed DH that he was a failure as a son and a brother because he excluded his brother from the game and does everything for me and my family and ended with, "good luck with that."
Thankfully DH called his mom when we got home and tried to set her straight, but it's just so frustrating that no matter what we do we're always in trouble. I guess I'm slightly delusional because I was hoping that after five years of marriage we'd be allowed to go to a baseball game on our own and not be deemed "selfish" for going.
I really don't even know what to do anymore when it comes to my MIL. I can't have a positive relationship with her, nor do I want to reach out to her, when all she gives me is grief and belittles DH. I'm at my wits end with the woman.

totally ridiculous...I agree that you can't reason with crazy so you just keep on keeping on
I actually thought I saw you and your husband walking...he was wearing an orange tshirt but I thought you were wearing a black tshirt, but if you are a yankees fan I guess that wouldn't make sense
Nope! That was us. DH gave me a ton of crap about wearing Yankees gear to a dedication ceremony so to mess with him I wore pinstripe shorts, a Yankees shirt, and my NY/NJ necklace. I brought an O's jersey with me to throw on top of everything, but I wanted DH to know that I was a Yankees fan in disguise.
