Great. My husband told his mother what is going on, so now she knows why I wish to avoid her. He told her how her words can effect other people, and now she feels awful.

This is not what I wanted. I did not want him to tell her, and now there will always be tension or an awkward sore spot between us. She now won't know how to talk to me. I wasn't able to catch him in time before he spoke to her about this. I did not speak up until it was too late.

And now, this morning, my husband "doesn't want to talk about it" and is seemingly upset. He was up very late last night, all stressed out. And he doesn't want to be intimate with me either. He's "not in the mood".

So, now because I became upset, my husband is not in the mood. He said the other day was "very rough" (when I got upset). His mother is now interfering with the happiness level in my marriage and is causing friction between us. Great.
