Your MIL is not the one to focus on here--getting back your H is.
But for the future (and all Rs in the future), it wouldn't be a bad idea to learn their LLs. Maybe it isn't gifts--maybe it is something completely different and you haven't been "speaking" it.
But H's LL IS gifts--and you need to get him, or his mom, or SOMEONE a gift!!
Don't be silly here--Coach is right--he's watching you!!
Did you get your MIL a mother's day gift? If you haven't, I would say it's not too late...oh boy...I don't know--maybe it is--gift people are picky about these things (anyone out there a gift person??) Think of it from H's POV, NOT MIL's.
It doesn't matter WHAT she thinks--LET her complain about it because to your H, (who appreciates those things) SHE will look like the silly, ungreatful one! Not you! You need to give her gifts and HOPE it is not her LL--because she will not appreciate them and H will be impressed by your thoughtfulness, and puzzled (annoyed even?) by her lack of appreciation.
And if her LL IS gifts, you have just put a little doubt into her and H's head.
But DON'T pay that much for it--it should be thoughtful more than expensive.
He probably wanted an expensive gift because he was STARVING.
When your LL is physical touch and you haven't had your needs understood, you are STARVING.
When your LL is Quality Time and you haven't had your needs understood, you are STARVING.
If you had been understanding this earlier, you could have been giving gifts all along--much cheaper that way.lol.
