She also admitted, “I think my MIL is competing with me,” adding that she might have to give him an ultimatum because after reading the comments, things could only get worse from there.
Someone suggested she ask her husband why he enjoyed spending so much time with his mother, and he told her it was because his mother was a special person in his life.
OP realized her MIL had no intention of changing and seriously considered divorcing her husband.
She told her husband that she would divorce him if he didn’t stop acting like he was married to his mother.
When he heard this, he began crying and vowed to change.
OP was hopeful but knew she needed to talk to her MIL, who only told her she would never win.
The Redditor clarified that there was no winning and losing and that if her MIL continued to act as she was, she would not have access to her grandchild.
She confirmed that her husband had also stepped up since her conversation with him.
