How do you handle your mother-in-law after you heard her talking badly about you in the next room?

Susan: “Yes, mother, Sean’s an IT guy and he keeps late hours sometimes. He works from home full time so he’s always on duty, goes with the territory.”

I allow it because - I WILL give credit where due - she does help my wife Susan with the cooking and cleanup. And she goes to bed at 7 pm then is up at 5 am and she at least lets our dog out to relieve himself.

A couple of weeks ago my annoying mother-in-law Marie was staying at our house.

So she stays at our house where she can complain one of us walked past her room late at night. Too fucking bad.

Marie is convinced I am an alcoholic since I always drink around her, I wonder why. So she’s always trying to pull some angle to Susan like “Gee, your husband might need some help with his drinking problem!” Her goal here was to make herself feel superior because she does not drink.

She has 3M in the bank which she inherited, but she never stays in hotels (unless she has no choice) because she is stingy and always ends up complaining someone walked past her hotel room late at night as she is a light sleeper.

Is it common for people to fall in love with someone else while still married? If so, why do they choose to stay in their marriage?

Oh, good for you, you were a kindergarten teacher, that’s great, you never were up until 3 am grading drawings or putting together class curriculums. You always had a husband to bring home the bacon for you so you could take it easy over those long summers and relax by the pool.

You’ve been pampered and spoiled your entire life, never once had to worry about money. I was on my own at the age of 19, beholden to none, building my own life and future. I didn’t have a rich mother like you to cater to my every need and whim.

So Marie is the most two-faced person I know, always putting on a pleasant face to me, calling me “honey” and praising my dedication to my family and job.

I have sleep apnea and I’m an IT guy so I had been engaged in some late night work the evening beforehand, and didn’t make it to bed until 3 am then slept fitfully and got up at 9 am.

So I’m not going to say Marie does NOTHING for us, but it’s noticeable what she DOES do often overlaps with her own agenda. She helps cook because Marie needs to eat too, and she lets the dog out since she doesn’t like animals and figures that gets him out in the yard out of her hair.

I’m sure you have ALWAYS been very well rested, Marie, since you have absolutely no obligations nor responsibilities in life, no duties other than handing money to your annoying daughter Karen and trying to convince Susan to believe bad things about me since that’s your idea of ‘control’ and frankly it’s almost as pathetic and unnecessary as your sad little existence.

Hello, I have a question about astral projection. I started to get interested in this a little while after my mum passed in april. I thought I may be able to see her and speak with her if I managed to achieve astral projection. Since this interest, every time i sleep on my back I go into sleep paralysis. However, I cant progress into astral projection because it is very scary for me as I feel like I'm suffocating when this happens. I panic and force myself to wake up. This only ever happened about once a year before this. It sometimes lasts a long time. This has happened about 3 times per week since my mum died, as mentioned on a previous post. I no longer try to go into it anymore(due to the suffocating feeling), but it still happens. I read that sleep paralysis is the pathway to astral projection. Why has this started to happen so frequently since simply taking an interest in it? Is this connected to the afterlife? I am concerned about it as I now cannot seem to stop this happening. Could it be my mum trying to communicate? Im asking due to more knowledge around this in this group.

But if she WERE, I could slice and dice her pretty thoroughly with this set of remarks:

Talk about me to Susan behind my back all you like, it will change nothing about my marriage and I know how badly you want that thumb of yours on BOTH your daughters, but you’ll have to settle for only being able to control that fucking annoying sponge Karen, Susan is off the table.”

Then the moment I leave the room the criticism to Susan starts up.

Why does everyone hate Anthony Joshua so much? I get that he isn’t the best heavyweight boxer ever but people claim he’s a no skill fighter but he has an Olympic gold medal, a world championship, and beat Klitschko, a dominant force in boxing

I ignored Marie’s remark completely. She isn’t of enough concern to me to get offended by.

“You wouldn’t know anything about dedication to your job or putting in late hours since you never worked a real day in your life.

When Susan got back with her annoying sister Karen I heard Marie quietly say to Susan: “Sean didn’t get up until 9 am!”

Susan got up at oh-dark-hundred one day to ride up to a neighboring state and pick up her annoying sister Karen then bring her back to our house.

God love Susan.
