You do realize that you marry a family, not just a guy, and if his mother makes you want to barf, you might want to think about this a little more....
Oh, I've definitely thought about it. But then I realized that a bitchy MIL (and SIL) is not worth giving up on a great relationship and I refuse to let them win. They've been talking about moving to FL so hopefully they up and leave sooner than later.
That's what she said.
