She said yes, but still ran to my side. It was a bit tiring after a long time, especially at night. After the kids went to bed, I really wanted to take a hot bath and rest early. The old man isn't feeling too great and my mother-in-law stays in the living room watching TV. She didn't go back until nine o'clock. I can't tell her to go back or she'll think I'm going to drive her home; and I can't go to bed, and it's not good to leave her out in the cold. Anyway, I stay with her until she goes home. It was fine once or twice, but it was really tiring after a long time like that.
That night, I really couldn't hold out any longer. I was too tired and sleepy. I said good night to my mother-in-law and went to bed. I drank a little too much water during the night, got up to use the restroom, and the TV in the living room was still blaring. My mother-in-law hadn't left yet. I glanced at the time. It was already ten o'clock. I figured it was too late for her to stay. I just wanted to call her. I heard her call from the living room, "Son, I took care of your daughter-in-law very carefully. She didn't mess with men. You can work outside in peace." I was startled. What did she mean by that?
I called out "mom" and she was scared to hear it. She hurriedly hung up the phone and responded to me with a smile. I asked her to explain what she just said, but she wouldn't. I got angry and asked her if she was spying on me. I was afraid that if my husband wasn't home, I would find a guy. When I was told, she couldn't continue to hide it and told the truth: her ex-daughter-in-law, her husband's ex-wife, had an affair while he was on a business trip and he got a decisive divorce. So, he's on a business trip now, so he asked his mother-in-law to keep an eye on me in case I cheated on her too.
I am so angry. He didn't want to tell the truth about his divorce from his ex-wife. Turns out he was afraid that my pregnant mother-in-law would come over to the house to watch me a lot. I dialed my husband's number and asked him if he had let his mother-in-law spy on me, if he had any respect for me, and to divorce him if he didn't want to. My mother-in-law was dumbfounded and kept urging me not to be impulsive. I ignored her and went back to bed. I am really angry. Without any trust, how can this family go on? I thought our relationship was real, but now it seems I was just romancing. So disappointed .
Counselor Response:
Hello. Once you are beaten, you are afraid of the well. The infidelity of your ex-wife has cast a shadow over your husband's heart. He should not let your mother-in-law supervise you. It's a sign of distrust and disrespect. It's really unacceptable that two couples can communicate privately if they have problems. I suggest you communicate, especially your husband, and don't neglect the importance of your home because of work. Marriage is not easy to come by and needs to be managed. I wish you all happiness.
