CWMI, I did not read the end part of what you stated. We were on a family trip with in-laws and I ended up telling them. His brother made a joke and said "that boy doesn't know what he wants". His mom did not respond. My son was over a year old then. A lot of time so much time has gone by until I am sure even if corrected the effects are still there of them thinking I am the one that did or wanted this or that.

He has an older brother who does not let him in their business. His wife works a lot and hardly comes around. His relationship feels forbidden to even ask or talk about because that is the type of way his brother acts. He doesn't allow them to speak negatively about his wife and has them thinking he is pretty much superior in his relationship and they have no problems. I wish we could be that way to where they are not involved so much.

So you have idealized his older brother, to your husband?

LOL! Are you pulling my leg? CWMI?

I have not but his family has. I just like that they don't know his business and do not speak negatively about her. He dated my sister a long time ago and treated her poorly. From that I assume it's not all honky dory but that's their business. At least no one knows and no one is in their business.

LOL! I just thought about this. My wedding ring has been missing for 7 years. I still had the matching band and eventually bought another one. Well a few months ago I was at DH parents house, went in a bedroom, opened a ring box and and my ring was there.

I told no one there but my husband that I found it. I asked no one anything. I wear them on a necklace. I saw his mom eye it but she did not say anything.

We moved about 9 years ago, his brothers helped as always. I had a very nice glass vase that I could never find and my husband did not seem to remember because he just threw everything on trucks and deposited different places with no marked boxes nor organization.

Well his mother now has my frame that I brought into the marriage. We were not using it anymore for certain reasons but I planned on putting it up at a later time. She also has a new mattress my cousin gave to me. Lastly, she has my glass vase that I have not seen in 9 years.

I noticed it and asked about it, she skipped around it and never said where she got it from. LOL! I would like my bed and vase back. The vase was a wedding present from a relative of mine.

Come to find out my husband gave them the bed. I thought he meant to give them the mattress. So it was a misunderstanding between us. He did not give them the vase.
