Last night the MIL posted some pictures of my son on FB. I sent her a private message back which said: "Hey I just wanted to say I'm sorry if I ever came off as being rude to you. I always felt some jelousy towards you because of how much {wife} confided in you [this was something I admitted to during our marriage counseling]. I think you are a great person, mother, and grandmother. If {wife} and I work this out I would like to spend more time with you ( the 3 of us hanging out)" This morning when the wife came to the house before I left to work we chatted a little about genreal topics and told her I did this so she wouldnt think I was going behind her back or anything. She seemed happy about it. I also told her that something was bugging me. The day before she mentioned that she should have been more cautious with me when I told her a major reason I married her was because she quit smoking (I had made this comment years ago). I explained to her it wasn't her quitting smoking, it was the commitment of doing something that difficult for me that was the reason. I had never had someone do anything like that for me. I also told her I married her because she is kind, caring, smart and sexy. She smiled (first real smile I saw on her face in a LONG time). At that point I had to leave for work as I was running late, we wished each other both a good day.
