My mother in law keeps posting photos of my husband and his ex: Advice?

My husband and I have been together since 2012 and married since 2013. We are both happy, and we are doing great… but My mother in law keeps posting pics of my husband and his ex’s and different times in his teenage years… and writing look at my son and his girlfriend at the time! They look so happy! Just stuff like in general, and IDK why but I’m really ticked off about it. Am I overreacting? Like it doesn’t really bother him because he says I had to kiss a few toads to find my princess, and if it bothers you that bad, I’ll say something. They don’t have a great relationship, to begin with, haven’t really talked to each other since Dec. 9th, not because of my husband. He’s tried making phone calls, but she’s active in social media and won’t answer the door if he tries to go over and spend time with her…

That’s so odd. Why would she do that? Block her for real.

She’s living in her memories. She needs an intervention to get a real life.
It’s more than likely not even about you or him. She’s alone & that’s all she has.

Social media isn’t life. So I wouldn’t worry. She could be doing it as a way to get at you. That way blame you for their strained relationship. Just a guess based off what you said. If I were you I’d unfollow. Not block or unfreind. That way you don’t see it.

You’re not over reacting. I’d have him say something to her. Otherwise just remove her from your social media. She’s just being plain rude.

Sounds like petty bs to get a rise out of you! Don’t but the ticket to the shit show! Move along don’t let her get to you!

Honestly it sounds to me like she the mother In law has some major jealousy issues towards you and likely thinks you have stole her baby boy so she is acting childish towards him when he is tring to get her attention…and her posting pics of your man and his ex is down right disrespectful and spiteful towards you and her son…she seems like a very toxic woman and if she wants to act that way then it’s best for both of you to distance yourself from her…with her behaving in that way she is just looking for attention and a reaction she seems to enjoy drama…Trust me I know what it’s like to battle others just to be happy with your partner so much jealousy and envy out there…stay strong and keep being yourself and your man needs to stand up for you and himself if it comes down to it and put his foot down…

She sounds horrible. Both of you cut her off! You both deserve to be happy and let her be miserable by herself. I feel bad that your husband tries to see her and she doesn’t open the door??? She’s not a good mother much less a good mother in law. Her loss!!

Cut her off. Block her in social media. You don’t need that kind of person in your life.

My opinion over reacting! The situation at hand could have multiple motives! A) she liked that girl b) she did it for the chance that it might upset you C) something harmless and maybe she was looking back at her son and the girl just happened to be in it and the list can go on only she knows the intent your decision is if you should feed into if it’s bait or bs or just ignore it and give no reaction! Just my opinion

She’s toxic af! I cut my sons mom off and we broke up. He took her side when we were together, then when we split and he had the kid by himself he felt it firsthand and apologized. Don’t let her bring you down.

I’ll take shit that never happened for $400.

That sounds super awkward, and perhaps she is projecting her unhappiness onto you for whatever reason. Remember, her behaviour has nothing to do with you, but everything about her. Sorry she is being this way. I would flat out ask why she is doing that and say it feels like she is purposely trying to hurt you – she may not be, and she just may be a mindless old woman, but… being mindless isn’t a good excuse.

Sounds like my mother-in-law. I have tried literally everything possible in the past 21 years but we are on year 10 of barely being acknowledged. My brother-in-law recently passed away and we found out on Facebook. They didn’t include my husband in the obituary. My advice would be to cut your losses early and let her make an ass out of herself alone. I am sorry you have to deal with it. It’s a nightmare no one should have to deal with.

Send her pics of you and him together over the years…
I’d go extra petty since she is and get several photo sessions taken of you and your hubby and start sending them to her with each holiday’s greeting cards and as personalized gifts like photo frames and calendars postcards collages etc… (since she loves photographs sooo much she should love your thoughtfulness) and now she’ll have all kinds of pictures to post of you and her son together…:
Then you can call her out at that point for not listing any of you and your man!

It sounds like your mother-in-law is a miserable human being that is trying to for some reason sabotage you and your husband relationship by playing into your insecurities and posting on social media about his ex. It is 100% disrespectful towards you and your husband because if your mother-in-law can’t even respect you for the happiness of her son even if she doesn’t like you then she doesn’t really love her some in the first place. Your mother-in-law clearly does not like you and is trying to upset you and probably knows that you see what she post. You let your husband say something to his mother so that he puts a stop to her disrespect or tries to because I don’t think it’s going to make a difference. If she doesn’t care to have a good relationship with her own son. Block her on all social media and distance your self meaning don’t go out of your way to contact her

First and for most your not over reacting. He needs to say something to stick up for you. But I almost guarantee it won’t change a thing and she won’t stop so the best thing you can do is remove her off social media and he should do the same so she doesn’t tag him. Stay away if she continues to disrespect you. You don’t need that kind of negativity and disrespect at all. People like this do it on purpose and as long as people allow them too.

Seriously don’t be jealous over that. They were teenagers. It was before he met you. I think it’s silly to worry about. You need to be secure in your marriage. With trust, you can get through anything. Don’t harbor hard feelings towards his family. It isn’t healthy for you or them. He’s obviously crazy about you, you’re his princess. That in itself should be enough to let this go

2 Likes

First and foremost,ask yourself these questions before you decide whether to talk to her or not.

  1. Are you comfortable bringing up the subject.
  2. How much do you really value her opinion
  3. Is she capable of really listening to what you have to say
  4. Does she have the mental capacity to absorb what you are saying without turning it around and being defensive
  5. Does she has a history of admitting when she wrong?
  6. Do you think she genuinely has your best interest at heart?

If you answered No to at least 3 of these, do not waste your time. Unfollow and/ or block

I wouldn’t pay it any mind. She clearly wants a response if she keeps doing it over and over. Take some pictures of you and your husband, post them captioning like, “forever together” I think she just wants to be in control and since she’s not she’s trying to take you out of your character.
I wouldn’t socialize or mess with her anymore. Her true colors have been revealed. Don’t be ugly back, just be honest. If yall are happy, show it off…thats the best revenge :smile:

My monster in law would do some shit like that im sure if my
Husband had some notable ex. Shes been trying to engage me into another argument for months as shes tried to come in between us so many times. She almost succeeded last fall and winter. So after that i just ignore her Shes blocked on my social and only sees our kiddo every other month when she arranges it will hubby. I refuse to be part of her toxic Narcissistic nature. I only talk to her when i have and only about my daughters care anything else is a myob

Get him to comment on it every time she does it… like… he said… had to kiss a few toads before I found the love of my life… or great photo of me but why remind me of the mistakes in my past??? She will soon get peeved off with him saying stuff like that… or you could posy something like… love the outfit or live the hair… or isn’t my man so very handsome …I am a lucky lady … positive shiy to her poison game playing… they hate it … gd luck x

If its affecting your mental health then block her. I had to do similar with a similar situation and I don’t have very many of my husbands family on social media for that reason. If the behaviour keeps up, and you know it won’t change, make peace that others don’t treat their friends and family as you treat yours. Not everyone is considerate. You keep doing you, treating others with respect and kindness, let others be how they are but just don’t put yourself in the situation to be the target of it all. It took me a few years to not take it personal, you’ll get there too. Sending love, I know how shitty it can feel. :two_hearts::two_hearts::two_hearts:

I bet that girl doesn’t want the pictures back online either.

Shes accomplishing her goal which is to upset you.

Honestly she is probably doing it to be petty and get a rise out of you. She probably isn’t worth it since she is blanently ignoring him. Keep your head up. It’s one of those instances that you have to pick and choose your battles. If she said something directly about you then maybe that would be a reason to say something. Don’t sweat the small stuff.

My mother in law is much the same, worse even. She hung them in her home from his previous wedding day as well. While we were living with her!!! Honey it’s simple, this woman doesn’t respect you and she’s trying to get a rise out of you. Let me give you my best advice… IGNORE THE HELL OUT OF HER! These people keep saying it will stop, but they’re wrong. It never stops, it just gets worse. You’ll spend a lifetime arguing with her if you don’t just ignore it. She’s petty, let her be and stay above it. I haven’t spoken to mine in almost 6 years, she still tries to get a rise out of me every chance she gets, including at her own mother’s funeral. Just stay above it, you’ll thank me later.

If its bothering you guys that much and you’ve talked to her about you feel then either delete her off your social media so you won’t have to it or I believe you can hide or silence people’s posts you no longer see them.

There’s no excuse for her doing this.

She’s not for you just accept that. If your husband is 100% down with you and have asked his mother to stop and respect wife wishes and she don’t, wife don’t treat him any different just understand everybody don’t honor relationships and move on. When my kids marry I plan treating their spouse with same respect and love as my own. It’s a boundary when it comes to ex’s.

Not too subtle that she doesn’t like you. I would tell her to lay off the bs. You are the one he married not the girlfriend who obviously was not the right one. Don’t hold back or it will ear away at you inside. Then again I am from Brooklyn where we say exactly what’s on our mind.

Honestly, I would talk to her about it and tell her if it makes you uncomfortable. That’s the adult thing to do. He had a past before you, maybe it’s just coming up on Facebook? Who knows.
My mother in law has a great relationship with my step sons mother and posts pictures and comments on her things often. It doesn’t bother me or upset me. What’s in the past is in the past.
I say, if you’ve been with your husband since 2012, you and your mother in law should have a great relationship. But, you also can’t control what others do on their social media.
