So my MIL and I have had a rough relationship since my FI and I have been together for the past few years. This past year it has gotten better though and I'm truly thankful for that because she really is a nice person. But for the past month, my FI and I have had a really rough relationship together, and I think it's because of her. Coincidentally, a month ago was when my FI's dad moved out and his parents decided to divorce(which doesn't really bother FI, he's not really close with his parents, he lived with his grandmother til he was 16). I totally understand that my FMIL is going through a lot right now, I was there when my mom went through it and I've offered my help whenever she needs it. We visit her at least 4 times a week now, and I'm not complaining, but she's making it really hard for my fiance and I. But when we get home, she calls my FI and talks to him for at least an hour a few times a week, which is fine with me-I want him to be there for her so she can get through this. But EVERY time he gets off the phone, the problems start. We argue over stupid things and he won't let anything go. I asked him if his parents are stressing him out or if I've done something to upset him, but he says no. I want to be there to help him through this too, but he won't tell me what's going on. I don't know if his mom is saying stuff to him, but everytime she calls, he leaves the room and won't talk in front of me. We only argue when he's been around her or talked to her. I feel like if she really is saying things about me, she's just angry that her relationship failed and she doesn't want her only son to get married. What should I do? The past few days have been great between us, but we've dedicated this weekend for us and haven't been up to see or talk to his mom...hmmm....
