MIL added me to FB years ago. Like many older people, she uses it a lot to post pictures etc and I use it very occasionally for personal reasons but follow local groups etc, which I find really useful. Hence, why I don’t want to take myself off.
Anyway, increasingly, MIL shares awful, racist posts. Often shares Britain First memes etc…it’s horrendous.
Partner is not like this at all. Years ago we had a big sort of discussion/argument with her at Christmas where he said that demonstrated how he would never change her mind.
Anyway, fast forward to now and I’m
getting so angry with some of the things I see. I tried to ‘hide’ her so I wouldn’t see her posts but it hasn’t seemed to work. I said to other half that I was going to remove her and send her a message along the lines of ‘sorry I’m going to have to remove you but I find many of your posts very upsetting but no hard feelings’. To be clear, if this was anyone else I would have done this ages ago!
AIBU to do this? Do I have to put up with the awful racist behaviour so as not cause any issues? I just feel like if you see this you should call it out, but equally do understand his unease.
Help!!!
