Mil and dh : dirty old woman pic

Isthisweird1 · 17/05/2024 21:34

I have two dds but I can't imagine talking to a son like this and I certainly can't imagine my dm talking to my db like this....

So.. A few things a while ago over time.

I saw a pic of young teenage dh on the sofa and mil crawling towards him. On back she had wrote " dirty old woman".

Then one day we went round and before she realised I was there she draped her arms around his neck like a lover and complained of the heat ".

A family friend once said she told them, having a nice husband wasn't necessary if you had a son.

But she never complements him and puts him down which is strange?

I think you are muddling this up with the principle theme of Enid Blyton's book 'Five Get Into a Fix'

To be clear are you suggesting that your mil has sexual feelings towards your husband?

@igomeow if I was clear and secure I would not be asking what others think.

It sounds horrible OP. I would be disturbed by it as well. Does she generally have unhealthy boundaries? How does your DH feel?

So you think this might be ok?

Isthisweird1 · 17/05/2024 22:06

My dm doted on db but I can't imagine her being like that but maybe that's my dm?

Maybe it's quite common for modern mums!

@DoreenonTill8 what do you think

She's not from UK for context, but from another eu country.

For what context?

sprigatito · 17/05/2024 22:10

Why's everyone being so arsey, am I missing something?

Hiddenvoice · 17/05/2024 22:10

I think it’s strange but why would she write that on the back of the photo unless it was a joke that someone’s made in the past.

BurntToACinder · 17/05/2024 22:15

Unless in the photo she was crawling towards him wearing something provocative, then the caption could have meant anything. They might have been having a joke, she might have made a mess and was cleaning it up. It doesn’t mean it had a sexual context, it could have been innocent. Did you ask what the caption meant? I think I would have.
I think you could be reading too much into things. The only thing that seems odd to me is the husband/son comment.

NDmumoftwo · 17/05/2024 22:21

This is weird OP.

LifeExperience · 17/05/2024 22:22

As the mother of an adult man, that's...creepy, to say the least.

Willtheraineverstop · 17/05/2024 22:23

Could someone else have written the dirty old woman thing on the back of the photo? Does she have an ex husband or someone that's pissy with her?

Re pic, dh looked like a young teen and she was in jeans and top, not lingerie... She was crawling on all fours laughing.

It's her writing in the back.

If it was one piece of evidence if you like I would have thought odd? But perhaps no big deal...
We arrived at her house and she was like " hello darling (fine) the drapes her arms around his neck and said it's hot... In a imitate way I thought.Then a family friend told me about that comment. There's been other things but I think those three are the main ones.

But if you only heard the word she uses about him you would think she didn't like him. Always negative?

Edited

How did she say ‘it’s hot’ in an intimate way? Do you mean like she was licking her lips or something? 😂 I don’t understand!
