I did have a loving relationship with my mother in-law. But there were two occasions when I did not like her involvements. Those were:

1. When we got married. From day one my husband came home late. That was because his mom phoned him at work and demanded, crying, that from work he must go and visit her before coming home to me. And that was for every work day. I tolerated for a while, but ended up telling my husband that this was no way to start a married life. He agreed and stopped it, but she did not like it.
2. We left Hungary during the uprise there, and came to Canada. We were married for 10 years, no kids. We investigated. His sperms were dead. Then we brought my mother in-law over for a visit. From the minute we picked her up at the airport she started to rant about her ideas, that there can not be happiness in life without kids. She continued her ranting none stop, with the obvious intention to break up our marriage, thinking that no kids was my fault. When I had too much of this diet I asked: “OK Mother? So now I should leave your son because he can’t make a woman pregnant? She turned white and speechless for a few moments. Then she said with great efforts:”My son is the cause? I thought it was you.” I said I knew what she thought, and that was wrong. Then I dropped the topic. Even though she obviously would not have hesitated to break my heart if it was my problem, I was not going to ruin her visit with us.
