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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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.

If you re-arrange the letters in "Mother-in-law" it spells "Woman Hitler."

Monster-in-laws, ruining their children's live since the dawn of time and the birth of the institution of marriage. Good luck OP, look out for her randomly making you drinks and smiling like the Cheshire Cat while doing it.

It really depends, my soon to be MIL is waaaay better than my own mother.

Talk to your wife about it.

Your MIL is way out of line but I'm curious what her wealth standards are? Hope it's not just being able to pay for your lights to not get shut off? Parents always wants what's best for their children and it can be tough to see their child struggling to make ends meet because of bad financial planning. Growing up my parents always enforced their view of a caste system and then felt justified when my sister struggled for marrying below "their standard". Stating "You can't live on love alone"

That makes no logical sense whatsoever. She says you're "ruining" her daughters life, so she thinks the solution is to kill her daughters chosen partner? I daresay that would be more life ruining than having to live a less lavish lifestyle. She's either kidding (which is ****** up) or she's crazy, either way FYL.

My favorite part about that comment was how the alliteration in the sentence containing "live a less lavish lifestyle" was too much for me to handle. Intentional or not, that was awesome as hell.

Yeah, it wasn't intentional, but I did notice it as I was typing.

if you love your wife, then dont let her get to you.. and try to have holidays at your parents house instead of hers.

That shouldn't make a difference your wife still loves you and remember the vow was stated for richer or poorer...
