I am married to a wonderful man for almost a year now. His mother has never liked the idea that I am with her son but she is civil to me as am I to her so I have never had a problem with her. I was just informed by MIL that they are taking the family on a vacation this summer but I am not included in the plans. She has invited my husband, his brother and sister and their SOs but I was not invited to go along unless I am willing to pay my own way. I am not sure why she would not include me in this. I thought that when I married my husband I would be considered part of the family the same way his brothers wife is included.

I surely do hope that your husband is man enough to tell his Mommy Dearest to stuff it, as he's staying with the woman he chose to share his life with instead of the controlling woman who birthed him.

It sounds like she's trying to run some kind of power play. Who knows why?

I'm crossing my fingers and toes that your husband steps up and does the right thing.

Okay, your mother in law is a spiteful malicious wench. But you've got much bigger problems if your darling husband didn't become borderline belligerent and say "mom that is unacceptable, either my wife is envited on the same conditions or I will not be there because you are not allowed to be so mean and cruel to her!!"


Did he say that? Anything even close? Or did you marry a spineless wimp?

Hi Gal_jen19, welcome!

I agree with the others. Did your husband tell his mommy that the way she has gone about this whole trip is unacceptable? Is he going to tell her?

I am sure that you know this: You and your husband are a family. He has left his mother's family. They are peripheral. You are primary. You two should do your vactions together, and go to where you two wish to go. Good luck.
