My DH doesn't share our personal problems/issues with his mother or anyone else for that matter. My DH is pretty close with his mother and talks to her on the phone and in person all of the time but he doesn't talk about that kind of stuff with this mom.
No. my ILs are way over involved in our lives as it is. We try to keep them at a safe distance. I also try not to share these problems with my mother. I have learned that friends & the bump are better venting places. Mothers are far to defensive/protective.

No because usually we can talk it out and move on while she'll still hold a grudge. The last thing I need to hear from her is "remember that time you fought about...." No thank you.
Not really his family always expcets us to just give them money when they ask. Which pisses me the fvck off because we live with my parents and they are a huge help to us. So in a way is like whats the point of my parents helping us when your mom and sister are always asking for money. He thinks I just think less of his family which I dont at all I love his family as diff. as they are from mine. We do agree on all the other problems we have with his family like his mom expecting us to just drop DS off to spend the week with her. Im so not comfortable to just drop him off and leave him there like nothing how her other Daughter in law does. They are a crazy bunch I tell ya.?
Thanks guys. I'm embarrassed to say that mine does and it bothers the hell out of me. I will be having a talk with him tonight. It's getting old. Thank heavens we live 1500 miles apart!!
We, as a couple, tend to share our problems with my MIL, but it's just because we get along really well. If DH and I are having a relationship problem, we normally work it out between ourselves. If we need any outside help, we just pray about it.
#1 It's none of her business #2 Even if he tells her the two of you have made up, all she'll remember is the bad stuff. And trust me, she'll use it against you :P
No. We made a deal before we were married that we wouldn't share personal issues with our families. Thankfully we haven't had many but we witnessed it with DH's brother/SIL and we wanted to part of it!
hell no. in fact we're a united front when it comes to all family and if either one of us talked about our personal problems with anyone else we wouldn't be married.
He made that mistake some years ago, and I tore him a new one. I think he learned his lesson. Of course, he and his friends seem to have a "biitch about our wives" session every Sunday, so I don't think he needs his mom for that anymore anyway.?

I so agree! DH used to share with his mom, and she turned it into her own little personal arsenal against me whenever it suited her. It didn't even matter if he and I were arguing or not. If he crossed her, she took it out on me. What's funny is, he used to try to make excuses for her until she stole my cell phone from him while I was out of town. He asked her if she saw it, and she blatantly lied to him even after she saw him stressing because he was going to have to pay to replace my phone. Now he just keeps it general, and I don't speak to her at all. It should be really interesting after LOs are born since she and my SIL are flying down to visit. Talk about crazy family!!

Not usually... however she has her way of butting in anyway...
Ditto, I dont think anyone should share relationship problems with moms because mothers never forget and they will always remember the bad stuff!
Nope. Sometimes I think I'm closer to her than DH.
He used to. I put a stop to that shiit
