MIL and partners ex.

No judging, but can't help feel a bit jealous to be honest, MIL goes out of way to help partners ex in anyway shape of form, money, lifts, childcare, me and my partner however have a child and nothing I've never once been offered a cup of tea.
Feel like I want to say something to my partner but what can I say? Or just keep quiet?

Did your partner leave his ex in the shit? Is mil picking up the slack?

Dolly2288 · 26/09/2023 10:57

No not at all.

That's a tricky one. Maybe they became good friends? I know I have been sad when relatives broke up with partners I've liked. But that's not your fault, and she should definitely offer you a cup of tea.

You don’t get to control what kind of relationship your partners mother has with her other family member, including her grandchildren.

It’s ok to feel jealous if you want but there’s nothing you can do to change it.

How would you feel if your parters mother told you how often you could see your friends / help out your granny ? Surely you’d think it’s none of her business and she should keep her nose out your life!

How is her spending time with other family members treating you like you don’t exist ?

If she is rude to you that’s a totally separate matter and your partner needs to speak to her about it. If it doesn’t stop, you all need to reduce contact with her.
