Is this akward or what?! No at all board related but I need to vent....
Totally casual at the breakfast table this morning. He told me something about the portable phone and then added at the end of the sentence his moms name.
With a mouth full of cheerios I asked "Did you just call me your mother's name?"
THEN without a moment of hesitation he said "Yeah....well you act like her." AS if that would cover his tracks....as if that would justify his mistake. Then he tried to joke around by calling me Jr.
Now....I have no problem with my MIL. In fact, she is the best and I love her to pieces. I should also add that we where staying at his parents house overnight to care for his sick grandmother and in their kitchen when he did this....
The entire time we stayed he was treating me weird. So much more demanding..,,cold.....and telling me to get him this, and I can't do that...similar to how he treats his mother. And I mean... sometimes in a joking manner but he isn't like that EVER normally. I decided shortly after to leave for work early and told him I was doing so purposely because of how he is/was being towards me.
Okay...complete strangers. Advice? Am I just over-reacting and should let it go or should I say something and talk about it?
Re: DH called me his moms name???!
Yikes. Point taken.
Does he call his mom by her first name? I've never heard DH call his mom by her first name so I can't imagine it slipping out accidentally.
However DH has called me by our son's name or our cat's name. Wrong names do slip out accidentally and it's no big deal.
Mrs_b FTW!
He calls his mom by a nickname. I know it isn't a big deal but it is the first time he has ever done that in 4+ years so it caught me by surprise. Oh well.
Yeah, I was wondering that too.

Meh. I can think of worse things to be called. I've actually met her a couple times and she's quite nice.
I would file for divorce. No amount of therapy could fix that.
I call our son our parrot's name all the time, and vice-versa. I'm so glad it isn't just me.
This would be a huge problem for me. I would check his ass at the door and tell him he needs to cutthatshitout, like yesterday.
Yeah this, I didn't have a big problem with the situation until this. I'd tell him to smarten the fvck up and if he wanted someone to treat him like his mommy he was welcome to move home with her.
