I've been losing weight and trying to get my confidence up a bit with a new hair do, new clothes, make up, nails eyebrows etc. I have felt really frumpy since DS (1) was born so thought I'd try and give myself a boost.
It's really worked and I am starting to enjoy the occasional meet up with friends which I wouldn't do before. I used to make excuses as I felt like a fat mum! DH has noticed a change in me and even though he says that he loved me the was I was I know he likes the more confident me better. I'm more like the person I was when we first started going out.
I've joined the gym and got a personal trainer, let's call him Paul. Paul called me the other day when MIL was here and I went in the other room to answer. I made plans to see him at the gym the next day for a session. I came back in and MIL had clearly been trying to listen in. She asked who it was and I just said it was someone from the gym.
This weekend a friend of mine has booked last minute flights home and has arranged a last minute get together. DH was invited too but he has plans so I said I'd stay with DS and see the friend Sunday morning instead. DH decided to call MIL to see if she could have DS for a couple of hours on Saturday while we're both out. DH came back in and said in a really serious voice "I think we need to talk."
I started to worry and he said he'd spoken to MIL and she thinks I might be hiding something and if I am I should tell him now. I was a bit taken aback and couldn't think what he meant. He must have saw my worried face because he burst out laughing and apologised but said that MIL has just told him I had lied to her about speaking to a man named Paul and arranging to meet up with him while DH was in work. She said he should get evidence of me meeting this friend as she thinks there is something going on. He obviously to,d her she was being ridiculous and she said that its the only way to explain the sudden change in appearance and all these afternoons/nights out. (I've had maybe four over the last two months)
He said that he trusts me and he knows I'm not cheating on him and that he was annoyed that she had came to this conclusion without talking to either of us first, but also said that it isn't any of her business what I get up to anyway. She said she was just worried about him and DS and doesn't want to have to pick up the pieces when I leave.
DH was angry at first, but obviously couldn't resist winding me up, and now finds the whole thing so ridiculous it's funny. I am sat here fuming that she came to that conclusion and has accused me of cheating!
Would it be unreasonable for me to call her and give her a piece of my mind?
