Is it possible for someone to love you very much, but not "care"? I feel that way with my husband, I know he loves me, but I don't always feel like he "cares" about me. IE. if his mother says something "mean and nasty" about me, he tells me. And usually what she says hurts my feelings. If my mother said anything about him like that, I wouldn't tell him, because I care. I would tell my mother to mind her own business, and never say a word to him about it.

schatz,<P>Some men just don't realize that what they say could hurt. My H for, for example, doesn't care one bit what anybody says about him. I, on the other hand, take things very personally. I would tell your H that these things are hurtful to you. The whole MIL issue is tricky anyway. Let him know that you would appreciate if he would ask her not to say things about his wife like that. It's probably not that he doesn't care. It's probably more of not understanding that this really hurts you. Tell him how you feel and make some suggestions on how he should respond regarding these types of situations.<P>cleo
