Name changed and all that...

OH is lovely, wonderful caring attitude and fantastic with my DD

Anyway, he has a picture of his mum above our bed. We’ve been living together for 4 years now, and it makes me really uncomfortable 😂
I adore MIL, she’s a lovely lady and we have a fantastic relationship, it just makes me feel uneasy when we are ‘doing stuff’ that I can see a picture of her looking at me.
It’s a lovely photo, would love to have it in our lounge or kitchen...

AIBU to suggest to DP that maybe we could relocate MIL? Want to raise the issue but not cause offense 😬

Maybe don't tell him. Maybe initiate sex. But make sure he is the right end of the bed to have perfect view of his mother while shagging you 😂😂

Then see what he says.

Is there a reason you haven't just moved it already?

I would SO make some stickers to enhance it:

Creepy.

YANBU!

Ha! MIL is watching you shag.

I briefly dated a guy who had a large picture of JR from Dallas over his bed, this was NOT in the 80's and the guy was well into his 30's...

Maybe he uses it to slow himself down?

Ghostontoast · 11/03/2020 20:43

I think putting shelves and hanging pictures above a bed is a bad move in case they fall and hit someone.

Toiletrollbuyer · 11/03/2020 20:43

@Notimeforaname she has a very fancy hat on if that counts...

I will broach the subject after dinner and then update

My DH thinks a pic of his DM above our bed is a great idea! GrinGrin

CathyorClaire · 11/03/2020 20:48

Wherever I stand in the bedroom she is smiling at me

Your MIL is the Mona Lisa and I claim my five pounds Grin

Is she hanging or freestanding? Move her somewhere a bit more neutral and claim a poltergeist dunnit if he notices...

WhatHappenedThen · 11/03/2020 20:49

That’s awful. I can’t believe you haven’t said anything in four years.

Nanny0gg · 11/03/2020 20:49

You've moved in with him and not rearranged things yet?

Stressheadme123 · 11/03/2020 20:50

Eeeewwww

Thisismytimetoshine · 11/03/2020 20:51

Really, user? How deeply unattractive. What is wrong with these men?

SallyLovesCheese · 11/03/2020 20:51

Just want to add it’s not the only thing above our bed as that makes us sound weird as fuck. There are book shelves and other bits. Just MIL peeking at me from behind stuff makes me feel awkard

I'm glad you clarified this. I had visions of a solitary framed photograph right in the middle above the bed...!

greenlynx · 11/03/2020 20:56

I would suggest to move her to the living room as it’s more appropriate place. Why confide her to the bedroom? Imagine you all are sitting together in the evening watching TV and she’s with you. Much better than you’re shagging at midnight and she’s with you.

Mummyoflittledragon · 11/03/2020 20:57

I also had an image in my head of a big picture rather like the paintings in stately homes lol.

Notimeforaname · 11/03/2020 20:57

Is this her OP? Grin

@Thisismytimetoshine - he was definitely joking!

MrsSiba · 11/03/2020 21:02

Imagine if you moved it then it came back.

Like an episode of Inside No 9!

Notimeforaname Grin Sniggers like Muttley.

Aussiegirl123456 · 11/03/2020 21:03

OMG this is hilarious! The situation, the post and the other comments!!! "The Fuq" and "what is she wearing" just had me!!!

I too imagined some Mona Lisa portrait of your MIL above your bed 😂

Love how you've been too polite to mention this to your partner too!!!

Ahhhhh, shamelessly following now!

Blahblahblah12345 · 11/03/2020 21:11

This is brilliant!!! Cant wait for am update
