My FMIL and I have a cordial relationship, I tried to be comfortable and have relationship with her but we're so different I highly think its possible. Anything I do differently from her she speaks highly down on it saying stuff like "I would never do that, that's just silly. or I can't believe you would do something like that"
Anybody ever get the feeling that your FMIL doesn't think your good enough for your FI? Mine never said congrats on the engagement, hell she doesn't even speak to me about it at all besides saying we should wait til I'm done with my education and we're too young and even though she was 18 and that it may be true the 70s were different from when she married there father 34 years ago. I understand that comment which is why we had a 2 year engagement from when he proposed at 18 and we now live together, seeked gudiance from our close family and are in premartial counseling. I even understand why people look down unpon young brides but as we believe every woman is different and I know Im not surely jumping the gun even I'm going through making sure we're prepared.
Even if she doesn't think so I still want to give her a present along with my FI father for raising him at the wedding because there are the people that helped shape my FI into the man that made me fall in love with.
