Mil texts that she loves me

Aibu to feel uncomfortable with this?
We’re not close and she hasn’t always been the easiest.
I never reply the same back and feel a bit weird about it, I just put hearts etc

That's nice of her

"New phone, who dis?"

VickyEadieofThigh · 01/01/2023 17:14

Just reading that made my bum go funny.

My MIL tells me that she loves me. She does!

It sounds like you don't feel that yours loves you though? Would be odd for someone to text you that but treat you as if they don't.

Sohungryyyy · 01/01/2023 17:17

@VickyEadieofThigh I know 😬but then I feel bad, even though I don’t always have a positive view of her. She’s the same with Dh and lots of ‘I love you’s’ when hanging up the phone etc. My family aren’t really like that, it’s a bit much

@Dontlistitonfacebook I don’t think she even particularly likes me tbh, judging by things that have happened over the years

Jesus what a cow, the ultimate nasty MIL....someone that says she loves you...

Unfortunately there isn't a vomit icon.

Just ignore.

If ever challenged just say I presume you do this to all family.

Who actually wants to be told 'I love you' by someone who treats you as they don't even like you. It's not nice behaviour at all.

Families vary, in some this might be a very normal way of saying Goodbye. In others in might be considered odd and over the top. I would just accept that this is her way of doing things.

My family aren't very tactile, we're not huggers and we certainly don't declare our love. Everyone's different though.

JesusInTheCabbageVan · 01/01/2023 17:28

I honestly thought you meant in a romantic/sexual sense Grin So there's that, I suppose. It could be worse.

Thatdidnthappen · 01/01/2023 17:29

That’s nice.

I have a heart of pure ice, but I would like that.

Mine used to text me telling me I was as terrible mother and a gold digger with the odd racial slur mixed in until I blocked her, so it could be worse!

Sohungryyyy · 01/01/2023 17:55

@JesusInTheCabbageVan 😂 🤮

I don't t think you need to do anything. Just accept that is something she wants to communicate with you.
