C,

How are your H's parents toxic? My H's mom is also toxic and someone who I truly believe played a HUGE part in my H deciding to divorce me. I've been DB'ing my A** off since September, but I feel like I will never win against my MIL. Actually, my H saw her yesterday and then called me and said he had a great talk with his mom and now wants to talk to me about moving forward... sigh. Outsiders like family members who have a huge influence on our spouses are one of the hardest obstacles to overcome. I'm sorry you deal with this as well.

My H is also a huge people pleaser and one of the reasons he says he never spoke up when he was unhappy was because he didn't want to hurt my feelings (really??). I feel your pain on frustrating that is, because it's honestly been driving me nuts! How does any of the even make sense?!

Hang in there girl. I see a lot of similarities in our situations and I follow your threads a lot even when I don't respond (it's hard to at work and home).

Sending you positive thoughts and hugs, xoxo
