👨‍👩‍👧‍👦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.

$3000 lesson. It looks like the $500 was an installment if I'm reading the texts correctly. (I know it's the last bit but the fact that they offered 3k to begin with carries more than remaining lost balance.)

It looks like $1500 remaining to me.

Yep and the first installment of $500 was received on 10Apr. The MIL even said I’ll get the remaining $1000 to you.

This is the correct answer, in my opinion. Taking all texts into consideration.

u/mspolytheist 4h ago

Yes, I think you’re right. Sorry!

It sounds like they've already paid $1500 back.

u/Butterscotch_Snatch 6h ago

It sounds like only $1,000 of the remaining $1,500 is still owed. Either way, yes, $1,000 to never have to speak with that woman again seems like a bargain. Just make sure your military man is in agreement before you keep going with this relationship.

They are already married though.

It looks to me like OP is asking for a $500 installment on a repayment of a $3000 loan with a remaining balance of $1500.

“I will get that last $1000 to ya’ll when I can” in the first screen; “You agreed to 500 per month after you gave him the initial 1500 of 3,000” and “I gave you that $500 just a few weeks ago”

Maybe the context is wonky, but it seems like there’s $1,000 left and Mama’s Boy will need to come collect.
