MIL messaged me yesterday to see if I wanted to meet up for our weekly coffee meetings. As you know Ive been confused about whether to continue these meetings or not. Well finally I decided to put an end to them.

I wrote her a nice text back saying that whilst I have enjoyed and looked forward to the meetings I felt that I needed some space to think. I was mentally and physically exhausted talking about my situation with her. And I was also annoyed that everything I was saying to her in confidence was being relayed back to H. She insists that secrets are bad and its best to have everything out in the open.

I didnt receive a reply from MIL. Then got a message from H saying that MIL told him that I didnt reply to her coffee request. And he wanted to check if everything was ok? I replied that yes everything was ok and that I did reply to MIL.

I then rang MIL in the evening - she didnt answer. I left her a message to say that I did infact reply to her text and I hope that she understood what I was trying to do and why. Again MIL did not call back.


I cant believe this! I feel so betrayed. I thought that she was my friend. What was I thinking? Really annoyed today.
