Update to dinner with the inlaws
I have the most wonderful husband in the world. He is normally shy and soft-spoken but because he knows how much it annoys me to hear MIL talk about BM non-stop every time we are together, he actually steered a lot of the conversation to more enjoyable topics. 
MIL didn't mention BM or SD at all during the course of the evening. Shocking. FIL mentioned BM once but the context was some story involving DH's brother when they all lived next to DH and BM a long time ago. No one paid attention to him so he repeated himself and still no one paid attention. I only half-way counted that one because it wasn't current, it wasn't even a BM story, her name was just mentioned, and I'm sure he wasn't trying to be an ass. I still took a drink though. 
So the good news is that we made it through the very first visit together where we DIDN'T talk about DH's ex. HAPPY B-DAY TO ME!!!! The bad news is that I didn't get drunk. I wasn't able to play my drinking game since they weren't giving me the ammo I needed to do so. lol. I'll take it. It was a good night.

That's great! Maybe they are
That's great! Maybe they are learning to shut up about her.
My Dh and I have a mutual friend who was also friends with bm back in the day. this friend knows the bullshit she has pulled and my disdain for her.
He wrote a book and self-published it and of course I bought one for me and Dh. Dh is half way through the book and starts telling me a story that was in the book. Yea it was aboutDH and BM...I never read the fucking book. Thanks friend who wrote a book with an entire chapter about BM and not warning me. People ask me if it was a good book and I refer them to DH.
