Thanks to MIL I finally grew some balls and stood up for myself

As per one of my New Years resolutions I have finally stood up for my own feelings and I think I have gotten through to my DH!!!!!!!! Smile Smile

As I previously posted my MIL told me the other day she would NEVER put up with BM's 10x's a day phone calls and neither would any other woman. She told me she would talk to my DH and today she finally did and he seemed to have FINALLY agreed and listened! I took that opportunity to later reaffirm what MIL said to DH, and to also bring up the idea of FINALLY having a set schedule instead of constant daily phone calls and asking "where are you, what are you doing? What time are you picking up SD? What are your plans tonight? blah blah blah?" from BM.

DH confided in me that he is lost because this is his first real long term relationship after breaking up with BM and so he is still learning how to make it all work as a blended family and he doesnt know what is normal or not.

I feel like this is a breakthrough and I really hope he follows through on this so BIG things can change for us this year!

Thank you! God I hope so too! At the very least he agreed with me and brought things up to BM. If he can just wake up, stand up for himself more then I think it could work. Smile

Of course, BM responded by calling him a faggot, and when I asked him about that he said oh, thats just the way she talks, its a culture thing, you dont understand, she was just joking.. so we'll see how it goes...

Yes BM is a ghetto and gross person. And I HATE how he always makes excuses for her behavior.

But yes, baby steps. just finished taking out a calendar and writing out his schedule and deciding on what days will work best for him to have SD5. Crossing my fingers he follows through!!! Smile
