Perhaps I worded myself poorly. What I mean is that your husband has just gone through the wringer with his mother and once he is off the phone he then must deal with your ire. What I inferred from your post was that if hubby doesn’t put his mother in her place you do not respect him.
We are in agreement on divorce, but God forbid if you died tomorrow there is a chance that at some time in the future he would marry again (and vice versa). You can never replace a parent or a child. (Not that he would replace you, but he could have another wife.)
I’m not saying that your mother in law isn’t a witch. What I’m suggesting is there is a healthier way of dealing with the situation. It sounds like a very emotional thing with him and maybe he needs quiet time afterword to calm back down. You just do not have to let the negativity from his relationship with his mother enter into your relationship with him.
I do understand that your frustration stems from love for your husband and concern for his well-being. You have to find some common ground, even if that common ground is leaving him alone for a while after he has contact with her.
