My Day....
My Day.... / Married Life / 11:46 PM - Sunday May 11, 2008
A Sportif (Female, Chicago, 36-45, Student) asked:


Get this: My monster-in-law had a mothers day party and didnt extend the invitation to me! The worst part was I asked my husband if he was going to see her today and he said he couldnt make OUR dinner because he was going to have dinner with HER at her house. He left the house around noon and I havent seen him since. My instincts told me (since she usually has a annual party on Mday) to do a quick drive by ( this was 3pm)..and sure as shit she had an entire driveway and street full of relatives' cars. He LIED to me and said it was just going to be she and him!! What a bunch of classless-liars!! I am SOOO done with him and them. If there was a spark of hope-he just pissed on it and put it out!
The good news is that I turned off my cell and decided that I was going to enjoy my kids today and I was not going to let him ruin that. We went with my parents out for a nice dinner that HE was invited to and then we went and actually played wheel of fortune! Its been forever since I sat around and played a game with my family. (It was nice to laugh)
Although, now that the kids are in bed; I am so hurt and in dismay that he is this guy now that I never would have imagined him capable of being 4 years ago when things were wonderful. The end is always so sad....

just thought you may find this interesting. SO the Mothers day lie...he ends up not coming home(still hasnt;its tuesday noon-ish). I only got a text from him last night saying he wants his phone charger.It took him all that time to only come up with this defense: - that there is NO reason on this planet he should have been with me on Mothers day that it it all about her.He didnt even remember that he lied and said it was only going to be she and him! No mention of her not extending the invite to me !! How clueless can a grown man get? Wow..I just dont have the energy to educate him on CLASS and what it means to have a WIFE....so sad...thx for listening..just thought youd find that the cherry on the sundae.

Update: May 12, 2008.
I appreciate your thoughtful response. I wish I had stars for everyone! It was nice to know that I wasn't out of reason with my reaction to this situation. He IS sleeping over at MOMMA'S-forever for all Im concerned...But back to the point: I really did even get choked up with some of your thoughtful responses. I see now that she is the reason I have had to 'teach' him to be respectful and try to be a good example for my kids..she just didnt do her job. Well, she can have him back! I've got 3 kids to raise dont need a grown man to teach how to respect someone. Loves and thank you again! ((Hugs back!))xoxo

When I read your post, I felt like saying S_ _ _! I'm sorry for how your day began but at least you had your parents and beautiful children. Well, I guess there is just no doubt in your mind now. (((HUGS))). I know you wanted to give him another chance but this just takes the cake. If you ever feel like talking I'm here for you.

Actually this is EXACTLY who this guy is from 4 years ago... you're just now seeing his true colors. And now you know what him and mama have in common. ;0) Drop his sorry ass like a bad habit. Him and mama should be very happy together.

Happy moms day!

You don't wanna let someone make you angry on YOUR day today, so just chill and relax. I am sure there are people who are honest with you and actually care for you. So, don't feel hurt.

I assume there are other reasons you say it's over. I hate to hear that from any marriage.

There comes a time in any marriage where you need to pursue something for yourself that makes you happy, and not worry too much about seperate interests (within reason).

Have a talk with him about why he didn't think he could tell you the truth. Don't bring MIL into it... focus on one thing for now. We all come from different backgrounds, so he may not think that lying is a major offense. Let him know it is to you, so he can try to fix it.

Hang in there, and when it gets tough.....do something nice for yourself.

I AM sorry sweetheart..... WHENEVER a man CHOOSES his MOTHER over his WIFE....things are NOT going to go well :( Once you are a married couple...wife is FIRST, mother SECOND....At least that's the way it is if you want to REMAIN married.....

That sounds like a really bad situation you have described.
Do you know why your in-laws have black-balled you? Is there unresolved conflict somewhere?
I'm glad you found some happiness in the day, but at some point you will need to address today's events with your husband.
