Been with DP for 8 years. I moved up to his tiny hometown, 5 hours from my family. All good until recently when I decided I wanted to move closer to my home. DP agreed (he works away so is never home anyway) and it would be easier for me to get a new job closer to home. I always suspected MIL didn't like me and never had that much to do with her when DP wasn't home. Anyway, I got a phonecall (actually 4 phone calls but I only answered 1) from her the other night - ranting about how I was taking her son away from his home, did I think he actually wanted to go, I was a selfish cow for getting a new job at home and I was an evil bitch. Charming. I said nothing, put the phone down and blocked her number when she kept calling. DP won't talk about it. Tells me not to bring it up when I mention it. My family have been NOTHING but welcoming to him and would NEVER speak to anyone like that. There's plenty I want to say to her (her son is 42 years okd fgs!!), am I letting myself be walked over by not saying anything, or will I achieve more by simply refusing to ever see her again, never so much as mention her again and not put DP in the middle?
