Real Life. “Stop Sending Me Your Husband”: My Mother-in-Law Said Suddenly

We have been married for a few months now.

I think our marriage is quite strong for many reasons. But the most important one is Adam's job, he works shifts and is away from home for a long time on business trips. Because of this, all the possible household problems don't even have time to arise.

There's also the other side of this kind of work. When he's home on vacation, he's bored at home all the time. I'm at work all day and can't take a few months off. Usually, in the first few weeks after arriving, he does all the housework, and then he starts going crazy. But luckily, his mother, my mother-in-law, lives in our city. So he often goes to her during the day to help her with something, they drink tea and spend time together.

My mother-in-law is a pensioner, so she doesn't have much to do either. Another woman in my place would probably be jealous, but I'm even better off this way. My husband has classes and my mom always feeds him, so I have less to cook.

At the same time, I never force him to go anywhere, he makes all the decisions himself. I visited my mother-in-law recently – I had to wait for a doctor's appointment, which was right next to her house. We talked as usual. At one point, she brought up the subject of her son's constant visits to her in broad daylight.

“Marysia, you should stop sending my son to me all the time,” she said suddenly. He's just bored at home when I'm not there, so he comes to you. From what I know, he helps you and entertains you as well. “Of course, but not at that price. He helps me with small things or eats for three. I don't have time to cook him dinner when you're at work. I eat like a bird myself. And since he always visits me, I don't leave the kitchen. So if you have a chance, talk to him,” she asked.

I promised to discuss the matter with my husband, but I effectively forgot about it. Perhaps because I really didn’t think it was a big deal.

A few weeks later we went to visit his mother. We had a nice dinner and talked things over. It was Sunday, and toward the end of our meeting, Adam, as usual, reminded me that he would come the next day.

“Yes, son, I’ll wait for you. I was also going to bake some cupcakes,” my mother-in-law replied gently. And then I suddenly remembered our conversation. She had asked me to discourage her son from visiting her, and now she was ready to welcome him with open arms.

Who knows, maybe something has changed? In any case, I decided to bring up the subject when we were all together in a public place.

-Marysia, what are you talking about? Or do you mean my son can bore me? I don't cook for a stranger, I cook for my own child. Come, Adaś, at a time convenient for you – my mother-in-law started chirping at her son. I couldn't imagine it. She herself had asked me for something a few weeks ago, in a completely different tone of voice.

My husband made a scene with me this evening because I was discouraging him from visiting his mother. He accused me of lying about my mother-in-law asking me to do so. I sense her trickery here, but I'll wait with conclusions…
