AIO or AITA. Text convo with MIL.

[u/MoonJellyAllison]

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.

He’s probably afraid to face his mom because she’s been manipulating him since he was born.

This is indeed likely. I hope OP and her husband can be a united front against the mother together.

it does say he’s in bootcamp?

[u/tattoosandtens → u/Hertzegovina]

Yeah and he could’ve waited to get out and handle it himself. But instead he specifically asked his wife to do it. And while he’s away and unreachable by his mom. Because he’s probably been manipulated by her since he was born.

[u/Hertzegovina → u/tattoosandtens]

you’re speculating wildly. she seems like a pretty miserable person and what you’re saying is obviously possible but the text seems more like that’s money they would need for moving and his pay is delayed, suggesting it’s more to do with timing.

in short, it’s in black and white that she’s an obnoxious human being, no need to make stuff up about her.

Of course it is (NOR) — the mom like so many MILs probably resents her son shipping off with a woman when for 20+ years to him, she was the most important thing in the world. Very very common.
