Is Dh trying to tell me mil doesn't like me ?

[Colourfulpast1975]

Mil's rabbit sadly died. When I reported the news to Dh, he was very sad and he told me the rabbit was like the daughter she never had...I feel weird about him saying that.

It's just a phrase, isn't it? Meaning "loved a lot"?

Oh that made me laugh TheNaze73

I guess we'd like our MIL to feel we were the daughter they never had - bit much to be overtaken by a rabbit in the affection stakes!

I guess if i got on well with my mil(deceased before i met dh) id be fairly pissed off with dh with that kinda statement.

Why you are buying somebody else's mother flowers for mother's day, is the real problem.

Thinking

Op it's a bit odd that you are taking as a slight on you.

If your oh was inclined he could say she wished he was born a girl, but it's just bizarre.

It's relatively normal for people to love their pets as if they were human/children.

OP do you have form for assuming EVERYTHING ANYONE SAYS is about you?

If the rabbit was pink and vibrated I suspect she did in fact enjoy her company much more than yours. Terrible, terrible loss. Please pass on my condolences.

Have you ever let her stroke you? No? Then the rabbit wins.
