If your MIL disrespected you, would you talk back?/call her out/defend yourself

[Trynato]

Just that really. It came up in a conversation and a friend said she would lower her eyes and not say anything to her but speak to her husband about it privately later. That a person with manners would never disrespect an elder, whether they are in the right or wrong. A guy agreed and added that if his wife ever did that, he would divorce her.

Do you agree? What do you think?

@DaftyLass im guessing op is from a family where telling mil to fuck off will go nuclear!!!

You have a healthy relationship with your mil, op doesn’t

Snap! I had to double check that I had not written this.

True Newfoundland family style, no holds barred in love or war.
Say what you need to, ask what you need for, expect the same back

Op, you may be from another background, but in the UK in 2024 it is not acceptable for a man to "chastise" his wife. They aren't innately superior or in charge of you.
