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

Who does he live with, go to bed with and all those other things. I used to get upset but all it did was make me upset. So go with the flow. Yes, that was his girl,wife or whatever but were married now and loving every minute. Keep it up til she gets the message or you block her.

Ignore her . She has issues her problems not yours. Don’t let it come between you and your husband that’s probably what she wants.

Let M-I-L live in fantasyland while you enjoy the reality of life with your husband. Don’t give her satisfaction of letting her know this bothers you. Post current pictures of you and husband for friends and family to see.

life is too short / delete, don’t look at / move on and enjoy what you have … no one can hurt you without your permission

I think that she is doing it to upset her son, but the only person she is upsetting is her. That is not right in anyway what so ever!

That’s a passive aggressive snatch move. Unfriend/unfollow/block her. She’s actively trying to hurt you and your family, and she can’t hurt you if you don’t see it.

Good on your husband for offering to address it, but if she won’t respond consider it a blessing and remove this toxic person from your life.

I think she is trying to get a reaction from you and shes getting exactly what she wants. Just block her so you cant see the pics shes posting and go on being happy with your hubby. I learned a long time ago, there is no right way to deal with this. She is his mom…he needs to deal with it. Show her it means nothing to you, like you dont know about it, and it wont be any fun to her anymore. Maybe she will stop, maybe she wont but at least you dont have to look at the pics.

I’d forget about her all together !!! She’s not a nice person !!! My mom in law was a b…h also … my hubby ignored her … she died a miserable person !!!

On a pic posted of my husband and his ex, I would comment saying. Aren’t you so glad he’s with me now? Lol. But my MIL doesn’t believe we are legally married and we are. Have been for 40 yrs this Aug.

My late mother in law use to call me be my late husbands ex’s name I took it for awhile so I just told her my name is ______ and not ____ she then stopped and we got really close you will just have to have a one on one with her be up front with her to find out why she is doing this

Post to her postings a remark about how fortunate it is that he’s so much happier now with his loving wife!

It’s called passive aggression and it’s intentional. Do yourself a favor and block her. If she needs you for something and someday she will she can call you. Protect your mental health!

It is mom’s loss. Let her make the first contact.

By the way, these old pictures never bothered me or my current husband. He has passed, family loved him before he left me, sorry he is gone

Ignore her! Dont waste your spirit and energy on her or her posts. She is probably hoping you will react. Ignore her and do not engage.

YOU, are your husband’s choice. If his mother or anyone else can’t respect that it is their problem. You can’t make people accept what they don’t want to, so stop torturing yourself and let it and them be. Be happy in your marriage. No one is ever really happy if they feel they have to please, change who they are, or tolerate other peoples insensitivity.

Block her.It obvious your husband is on your side.Don t let her childishness get to you.It will be her loss

ignore it and move on. if she will not open the door to her son to visit then she has made her own decision. defriend her on facebook. she has chosen not to be involved with you as a couple or a mom to her son. so be it

So remove her from your social media and ignore it. If your both happy then obviously she is the problem. Move on

Passive aggressive BS like that needs to be ignored. It say more about her and nothing about you for those who look at them.

Block her and you won’t have to look at it. Her actions are disrespectful don’t let it consume you with anger just be done with it

Sounds like she’s a trouble maker & trying to destroy your life together with your husband. I’d be totally pissed too. Can’t you let Facebook know what she’s doing so they can remove her account from Facebook?

It doesn’t matter what she posts if you know you both are happy. She probably does it because it bothers you. Ignore it and she’ll probably find a new hobby.

Walk away & don’t look back she is mean& will never change

Sounds like your husband truly loves
you. Concentrate on your relationship with him. What she’s posting is old news. I think you should just ignore her.

Get some pictures of your mother in law to show off. Maybe funny, outdated clothes, bad hair day, or make some up for fun. Could shed a whole new light on social media for MIL. Or post happy pictures at great places with your hubby, and life goes on…

I think the MIL is missing who her son was in his younger years. He’s a grown up now and married. I think she’s just reminiscing about her “baby”. Life is too short. If it’s the MIL’s FB page that she’s posting it on, now on.

Time to block her. You can’t stop her - she has rights. You can block her from your life until she starts to respect you and her son.

I have pics of all our kids on our fridge and most are with ex significants, my SIL knows that those photos are special yo my heart as it is our daughter and her proms our sons are there too with their dates or ex GF and the new significants learn quickly that it is our children that we are proud of and the exes are just that…we laugh at the photos and reminisce of the times, its a good trip down memory lane. I am not sure why the MIL keeps posting pics from the past but for each one I would just comment what a handsome man and how lucky you are that he chose YOU! If she sees its not annoying you she may stop. Who knows! You can do this! You can be the bigger person

Just ignore and stay happy in your life. The MIL is being disrespectful not to respect her son’s decision and let y’all be hay

Seems like she might have a mental situation going on. Maybe someone needs to check on her.

Personally I would block her posts and forget about it so it doesn’t upset me what I don’t see. She obviously wants to live in her own world in the past .

My mother-in-law never hung up our wedding photo. She kept family photos only on her wall.

There is a favorite movie called- “Let it Go, Let it Go.”
You can’t control anyone else. Pray for these people. Best you can do.

Try to ignore it. She’s obviously being hateful and trying to get under your skin. She’ll eventually give it up if you don’t react.

My opinion for what it is worth. Comment on the photo. Others will see what she is doing and she might stop. Something like “that was then this is now” sort of thing or block her from your social media. If she knows it will upset you she might continue to do it. Stand up and be heard. Good luck.

Block her. That way neither of you have to see it… Easiest way to do it.
Out of sight… Out of mind. Let HER figure out what HER problem is

Let it go. She obviously has a problem with you but that’s HER problem. Don’t make it yours.

I’d remove her. It will take her a while before she notices you aren’t there. then you can see how long it takes, she will bring it up just say really, i had not noticed. i’ll check. then don’t call her back… gives you some rest.

Sometimes just ignoring something like this seems to end it quicker than if she knows it bothers you

As a COUPLE I would take her out for coffee(less chance of a scene) and explain how this hurts both of you. Encourage her to post current pics and if she won’t there’s nothing you can do.

I would send her a bunch of pictures of you & hubby & say something like Hey Mom I thought you might like some current pictures since the ones you’ve been posting are so old

Have your husband talk to his mother about it…plus if he is aware of it why hasn’t he said anything

You have a right to be mad!! But try to laugh it off when MIL does this, and do not take it out on the hubby. Sounds like SHE has some problems.

I would just block her so I couldn’t see it & she will probably stop. Sounds like she is poking at you.

My fleshly nature says @post every photo
You have of her putting food in her mouth.

I’d be upset too… I think that’s very disrespectful and if she wanted to post pictures of him she can cut the gf out!

Lol is her name Jean ?? Lol personal experience, take the high road, sounds like she has unresolved issues,

Just block her so you don’t have to see it. If she asks why you did then explain.

Mother-in-law is a trouble maker.You can see that or she wouldn’t be posting these old photos.

Mother in law sounds like a real piece of work. If you react she will be thrilled. Can you just ignore it?

I’m a bit of a smart ass but I would comment with a picture of the two of you with a caption “and look how much better he is now!”

Have him post to her page a picture of you two together, and him saying the " Had to kiss a few toads to find my Princess " hopefully she’ll take the hint…

If that was me, I would comment something like “My husband is so handsome then and still is. I’m so lucky he’s mine” :rofl::rofl::rofl:

Sometimes FB will post memories of things you have posted years back. Check to make sure this is not the case before taking further steps. Just a thought.

Your husband and his mother would not like this if the shoe was on the other foot !

I would have to be petty I ain’t gonna lie… I would post pictures back in response this is what real happiness looks like… and you would know that I’d you really knew you son … but I’m petty as hell

The more you can keep her at arms length the better your life will be. Unfriended her.

U have a right to be upset , tell your husband to let her know that u have taken her off of your page & u don’t c that history that she’s posting . Maybe she’ll stop when she finds out you’re not paying attention to that stupid s… .

Your husband should have a talk with her & stop it🤗

You need to forget about what the mother is doing.He is with you now so stop worrying.BE HAPPY.

That is why mother in laws seldom see her son and family on holidays.

Since your husband has already stated he will say something to her - let him. He needs to tell her to STOP this B.S.!

I would ignore it. Sounds like she wants attention? Just my guess

Your husband should be as upset as you are and needs to tell mom to knock it off.

I’m sorry but that’s just disrespectful. I’m glad that she’s not part of my family.

There’s nothing you can do, forget about it. She’s going to do what she wants. Don’t give her the satisfaction of responding to her.

I would un friend her for a month see how that goes if it works then unfriend her for good.

Oh honey, send you MIL some pictures of you and your hubby! She is crying out for contact. Take it from one who knows!

Her problem, not yours. Ignore her. Know it is not easy, but will get easier. Good luck.

so block her…& don’t look at what she posts
