My mum word of wisdom to my wife ... how she take care of my grandfather is how my daughter-in-law will take care of me and that is how your future daughter in law will take care of you. The only thing I am not 'happy' is my mother always say her daughter in law is better than me. |

QUOTE(mini orchard @ Nov 22 2019, 07:49 PM) My wife and mum have been together from day 1. Shall I say almost 30 years now. She is in her 90's now. Your mother is a wise woman my friend. My mother used to side my wife whenever my wife and I had disagreements. And sometimes, even though it’s absolutely clear (at least to me) that it was my wife’s fault, my mother would still say I was the one in the wrong. I wont say there is no dissagreement, but I always say that tolak ansur is the key word. My mum word of wisdom to my wife ... how she take care of my grandfather is how my daughter-in-law will take care of me and that is how your future daughter in law will take care of you. The only thing I am not 'happy' is my mother always say her daughter in law is better than me. I asked her once why she would take my wife’s side all the time. My late mother had this to say: “Son, my blood runs in your veins. We can argue today but tomorrow, you are still my son and I will always be your mother. Your wife is my daughter in law. So, it is not enough that I know I love her. She must know that I love her. So, I must take her side, always.” I never questioned her wisdom ever again. Takudan liked this post

first time I heard this
usually it's the other way around the MIL will complain that the DIL didn't invite the MIL for lunch, shopping, to eat, bla bla. DIL must respect the MIL and must "literally send out invitation" to the MIL to go out for breakfast lunch, dinner, shopping, etc. DIL must also cook for MIL. Lucky that your wife is not living with such MIL. |

Phew~
Can tell but be discreet. Make something up so that mommy did not know the real reason. In other words, no hard feelings... conflicts. For me, your wife is the needy, spoilt type. Not your mom's fault. But you married her, so you have to deal with it. Either advice her to change and grow up or you just have to suck it up.

Hi syusham431, I think the main issue here is that your wife (at least from what you're telling us) is a little insecure. She may be overly reading too much into the nuances or the perceived meanings behind your mother's actions or inactions. This one you need to carefully manage... if you keep saying your mother doesn't mean this, doesn't mean that, your wife might salah faham and think that you're saying that she's a liar or she's overly sensitive (although she is sensitive, no woman will ever admit it).The problem starts when my mum just bought some stuff for me but not my wife, then my wife will go say that my mum hate her etc....and the cycle repeats itself....its the smallest things that made my wife bising bising Good luck bro! ... I don't envy your position! This post has been edited by hksgmy: Nov 25 2019, 10:23 PM |

During the initial period of marriage, arguments between husband and wife are extremely common. Two strangers suddenly have to live together, and it takes time to learn mutual understanding and know each other's characters. It doesn't make it easier to have a mother-in-law, especially if it's the husband's mother.My wife is super sensitive, always see the negative rather than the positive side...now she always says my mom is cruel etc to her but from my point of view its a small matter, like my mom went eating but doesnt invite her or like go shopping but doesnt ask her what she likes/loves....juz small matters lah, but she makes it like a big deal...always complaining to me about how bad my mom is, but to me my mom is always like that....so now im stuck....what should I do? Should I told my mom that my wife has issues with her?? Should I tell my wife to just deal with it?? Every action I make has consequences REALLY NEEED ADVICE ON THISS The mother thinks she understands her own son better than his wife does, and that's where arguments can happen. Some mothers think they are the centre of their son's universe but fail to understand that it's the son's wife that will spend the rest of her life (hopefully) with her son. As for the new wife, having to "share" her husband during this initial stage worsens the situation. You need patience. QUOTE(AmIRight? @ Nov 20 2019, 12:33 PM) Your mother is orang tua. Your wife should respect your mom. Respect is earned, not automatically granted.Small issues for man, but for woman it is normal small issue become big issue. My advise is tell your wife to layan her mother in law as tetamu. Eg: she cook for your mom if can,invite her to watch tv together etc. If you think difficult,you become middle man.your wife cook,you invite your mom to eat together. |

Now I realise that I completely doesnt know her very well, for the past 5 years being friends with her before marriage, all that is just the tip of the ice-berg...after married, well you guys can see the problem now..The mother thinks she understands her own son better than his wife does, and that's where arguments can happen.
