My FIL is a successful businessman in his city, and I was told that they had joint accounts, so I always found it a bit odd that she asked her son for money. When we got engaged, we discussed his mom\u2019s monetary requests and my husband agreed he would put an end to it, and he did. She stopped calling after he refused to give her money.Last Tuesday my MIL called and asked my husband for 15 thousand dollars, she said she needed it for vacation. After he told her no, she sent me a lengthy text message saying that I had no right to get involved in a mother\u2019s relationship with her son, I didn\u2019t respond. I asked my husband if his parents were having money troubles, and he said that everything was fine as far as he knows.Well, today my FIL and SIL (husband\u2019s younger sister) came over for lunch. My FIL was helping us choose a bottle of wine when I asked him if everything was okay at home, he looked at me confused and asked what I was talking about. That\u2019s when my husband told him about her calling us for money.! It turns out that my MIL has been secretly asking my husband for money in cash. My FIL told us that she was withdrawing cash from the bank last year and told him it was to help pay for our wedding but she lied, she never gave us a dime.My\u00a0FIL left immediately and hours later my\u00a0MIL called crying saying that\u00a0I had a\u00a0big mouth and ruined her life. My\u00a0FIL wrote\u00a0us a\u00a0check to\u00a0pay\u00a0us back and is\u00a0temporarily separated from my\u00a0MIL until he\u00a0feels he\u00a0can trust her again. My\u00a0husband\u2019s maternal relatives are calling\u00a0us and saying that I\u2019m the bad guy.People stood on her side. \u201cYou\u2019re not the one who has been lying and leeching for money. Hope your FIL divorces her.\u201d\u201dYou asked out of concern, and you brought what sounds like tens of thousands of dollars in spending to his attention that she had been hiding, for whatever reasons. If she needed the money for a good reason, she wouldn\u2019t have been lying about it.\u201d\u201dYou busted a gold-digging scammer, out of concern and love for your husband and his father. It\u2019s natural to feel guilty for upsetting someone, and for big life changes to happen to others. But sometimes it\u2019s necessary to upset someone and change circumstances.\u201d\u201dThe maternal relatives that are calling you a bad guy were probably the ones benefiting from the money.\u201d\u201dIf anyone ruined your mother-in-law\u2019s life, it was herself.\u201d\u201dYou\u2019re not a bank, neither is your husband, MIL has misused the trust of her son and husband. Seems like she wants to have power over her son and uses the money method to know that.\u201dAs the story unfolds, it becomes clear that such decisions, while often painful, are necessary for the health and stability of the marriage. Ultimately, the narrative underscores the importance of communication, mutual understanding, and the need for clear boundaries in maintaining both familial relationships and marital bonds.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
