How many husbands you have, woman?

Me? 2.

1st one 4 years. Left him in Arizona. Wondering why he's back here after living two other states in 28 years. Daughter from that marriage, with beautiful grand daughter toddler.

2nd one married 18 years total. Son.

Three's the charm.

Do people change? *sigh*

Do any of you have close friendships with your X-MIL's {mother in-laws}...

no mine passed away fifteen years ago but I loved that woman

I always wondered what it would be like to have a close relationship with in-laws...
My first partner had fallen out with his parents, so I've only seen them a couple of times. His mom used to visit us secretly, without his dad knowing, during the first year of our marriage. My father in-law didn't allow her to visit us. In the end it got a tad better, but after we divorced they blamed me and didn't want anything to do with me. Fair enough. No skin of my nose...

My second partner was British, so his parents lived in the UK. His father was in a home (demented), I met him once.
His mom .. only ever had her on the phone 3 times I think, for about 1 minute. She called her son, my then partner, every week. She passed away when my ex and I had been together 2 years, never asked about me, never asked to talk to me, so I didn't know the woman other than those 3 times on the phone.
I did go to her funeral with my then partner, even helped him write his eulogy. I wouldn't do that anymore if I had to do that over again. Long story... but they didn't give a to$$ about me, and I kept giving giving giving ...at my own expense.

Anyways, I don't know what it's like to have in-laws at all, let alone have a relationship with 'em after splitting up.

really? gosh..hmmm let's see now

my own folks divorced when I was five and only saw my dad once or twice a year.
lost my own mom to cancer a year after I got married.
I married the oldest son and gave them their first grandbaby
so I was golden daughter in law in the family

hahaha I was very close to both my mother and father in law and I took care of my father in law after his surgery. I lost my mother in law when my oldest son was little still but I always made sure my boys got to visit grandpa and took them to see him on holidays and during summer when they were out of school

Yes I do, only married once. My ex mother in law was my life saver...she watched my kids everyday while I worked and we are all very close.. She always made sure that we never did without..

Actually my ex lives 10 blocks from me.. We are not like buddy buddy but we are always at anything that my kids have or for our grand kids.. Have no problem getting along.. He has a g/f and she comes along too. We all sit talk and cut up...

And heck just came back from vacation broke down on the way home. Was stranded so I called one of my ex b/f and he drove almost 5 hours pulling a trailer to rescue me and my car...

We are just friends he is with someone else but never fails to help me out if needed..

Life happens just because we did not make it does not mean that they should not be happy with someone else....

My X was pretty much a 'Hellacious Salesman'; blah-blah-blah but nothing in substance {aka = he lied a lot} But his parents; salt of the earth, couldn't ask for any better/nicer people that would've/could've done anything for anyone and he just used and abused those good people! His parents and my parents got along like we'd known each other for generations and we were tight and we stayed that way long after I kicked his lazy-sorry arse out and said -'no work - no more home' to come home too! The same day I was served with his summons for back child support for a little girl that none of us knew about {and she was 2�} and then his boss showed up at my 2nd job with his final pay check {since he'd been absent for 1 full week - no show - no call}...rocked his world, I did Anyway, my son wasn't even born yet and after a 'come to Jesus meeting' with both sets of parents where I explained the immediate details and reasons that I was filing for a divorce after 1year and � marriage; things got rough & rocky between my In-Laws for a while but we worked through those rough periods and my father In-Law died 6months before my own dad did at the same age of 66!

Both men were instrumental-mentor good ole hard working/hard headed - polar opposite voting red-blooded American Veterans; I miss very much. My X-MIL is like an older sister to me; she's been a huge part of my every holiday, she's spent many a weekend with my mother & I traveling and enjoying musicals and auctions and card games and picnics and now that my mother has passed she's my 'ROCK'! She fully supported my 2nd marriage and was with me the night that he passed away too...I can't imagine what life would have been like had I turned my back on her when things had gotten 'rough' way back when my son was just a baby and now he's 39.

I loved my mother in law. My ex was a skank ***. Truth hurts.

As I've posted a gazillion times before...
I remain friends with 'most' of my exes.
Be they ex wife or ex girlfriend.


As far as mothers in law?
MIL #1 HATED me, because I'm white.

(I may have once married outside of my race.)


MIL #2 absolutely loved me.

Yes Crystal I did recently have the same experience. My first true love from high school was in town on vacation and visiting a friend. She stopped by my house and we had a wonderful lunch and a great conversation before she had to catch her flight.It had been almost 30 years but it was like we hadn't seen each other in two weeks.There was no sexual motives just great conversation and I really enjoyed it.

So Sorry to report that my "EX" is an untrustworthy bottom-feeder, thereby any & all contact or connection with such an individual is unwelcome & something to be avoided if at all possible;}
