‘Good lord stop trying’: Woman’s MIL still calls her an ‘outsider’ after 3 years of marriage

A woman turned to Reddit for advice after she failed to win over her mother-in-law, who still insists on treating her like an outsider after three years of marriage. But the bigger question is: where’s her husband in all of this?

Posting under the username PlentyConnection260 on the “Just No MIL” subreddit, a forum dedicated to venting and seeking advice about difficult in-laws, the woman laid out years of quiet hostility and one-sided effort with her MIL. Sharing how her MIL still feels uncomfortable with her, she wrote, “They don’t initiate conversations with me unless I reach out first.”
