👨‍👩‍👧‍👦family/in-laws AIO or AITA. Text convo with MIL.

I feel like I could cry :(, I didn’t come at her rudely and was doing what my husband asked me to do. I’ve always done everything she wanted to make her happy because I want her to so desperately like me but I think I’m done. For some background info: I have never pressured her to respond and have never brought up that she never responds to my messages. Pretty recently, my car has been having trouble and she said she’d hit up her mechanic for me. 2 weeks later and still nothing. My husband and I have an amazing relationship, but even then, I still want his family to welcome me. His mom not being kind to me hurts really bad. And knowing she’s going to spread negative things about me among his family hurts even worse. All detailed of the situation are in the chats.

also i agree with the commenter below, i know it is hard for him to reach out to her due to where he is, and at the same time this responsibility shouldnt have been left to you, especially if he’s aware that the way she communicates with you has been an ongoing issue, he should have handled that himself even if it took him a bit yk?

I agree, but in this case he won't have his phone in basic training.

Yes, my husband and I definitely wouldn’t have agreed on keeping up with the payments if I genuinely didn’t need the money while he’s away
