Today, my mother-in-law confessed that for the longest time, she had fantasies about killing me for "ruining" her daughter's life, basically because I'm not wealthy enough for my mother-in-law's standards. She made sure to let me know the situation hasn't changed at all. FML

Today, my mother-in-law constantly threatens to commit suicide, unless my husband pays her bills. He told me I don’t care about his happiness because I told him he can’t keep giving in to her guilt trips. FML
Today, my future mother-in-law finally admitted that I'm "not the girl for her son" and that she will do anything to break us up. FML
Today, I found out that my mother has been purposely wrecking every relationship I've had since junior high because ''no one is good enough for her little girl''. FML
Today, my mother straight up admitted that she would murder me if God told her to. FML
Today, I found out that in the past, my mother has paid or outright threatened my girlfriends into breaking up with me, because they were, "unsuitable trash not fit to be the mothers of my future grand babies." This explains why I’m 47 and have never married or had children. FML
Today, I visited my in-laws, whom I thought I was on great terms with. I soon learned that wasn't the case when my mother-in-law yelled at me about how I've been abusing her for years. Ten minutes later, she hugged me and asked me for grandkids. FML
Today, I witnessed my mother-in-law reach into my wife's purse and practically empty it out into her pocket. When I confronted her and called my wife into the room, both of them accused me of lying through my teeth, because I've always hated her. FML
Today, my future mother-in-law started shit-talking me on Facebook, and we got into a heated argument. She called me later in the day, saying I'll be lucky if I ever marry her son and that, "You'll suffer to your last breath." I'm now terrified to set foot outside. FML
Today, my mother-in-law asked me when my fiancé and I were going to start having children. When I told her we weren't planning on having any, she went on a tirade about how selfish and cold I am for denying her precious grandchildren. Now she hates me. FML
Today, my boyfriend's mother told me she had fantasies about throwing him out a window when he was a baby because she was so depressed and couldn't handle the stress. The worst part is he wants to get married. She'd be my mother-in-law. FML

Just smile at her. It will probably piss her off more than anything you say, and can't be used against you in a "do you know what he said to me" sort of way.

Get her to say it on tape and pay a quick visit to your local police station.

Ppl like that are just self loathing and bitter to see other ppl happy. Kill her with kindness then she should shut up.

Better yet, treat your wife so good, she has no choice but to tell her mother how happy you make her.

When parents say things like this, I have to wonder how well they understand what they are saying. Even though this comment was directed to you, it really is more a criticism of your wife and the choices she made. When your mother-in-law says things like this, go hug your wife and remind her how much you love her. While you have been enduring her mother's criticism only a few years, your wife has faced it her entire life.

You might mention that harboring such resentments like that probably ruin her daughter's life in a more significant way, as her own mother can't respect her wishes, her choices, or the man that she is making a life with.

Let's hope life doesn't call for a situation where overnight stays are needed.

Now it's OP's turn to tell his mother-in-law about his fantasy of faking his entire family's death and moving to another country. :)

Love has nothing to do with money. She hasn't even considered the man you are.
