Hello everyone and happy new year!
My fiancee and I have been dating for 5 yrs..off and on mostly because of his mother and he doesnt want to confront her for some reason ..I live 12 miles from him and he has his own house ,built it right behind his parents home ,,ok here is my ?,,,,,at christmas time I received a christmas card from his mother ..she addressed it first of all as MRS and my last name ...second ,, she signed it and included my fiancee's name ..why do I feel so angry about this ? do I have a right to be angry? he told me " if it bothers you that much take a pen and mark my name off " I think I am angry because it is her that has kept us apart and it felt like it was a slap in my face ,,,I hope you all have a safe new year and lots of happiness ,....take care |

Wow, that sounds frustrating! Sounds like she's not validating you as anything in his life.

Read: The Dance of Anger: A Woman's Guide to Changing the Patterns of Intimate Relationships by Harriet Lerner. It changed my life in dealing with my possessive, interfering MIL.

ooooohhhhh.... yeah, that would infuriate me too. She signed HIS name? And his best response is that you should cross it out if it bothers you?
 Yeah. I'd be steaming. He's got some strings, for sure.
