My Husband’s Parents Refuse to Accept His Divorce – They Keep Trying to Reunite Him With His Ex-Wife. “Don’t You Understand, They Have a Son Together!” My Mother-in-Law Complains
I am married to a man whose parents have stubbornly refused to accept the fact that their son is divorced—even though it’s been over four years since it happened. They’re constantly trying to reconcile him with his ex-wife. He and I married three years ago and we have a happy life together.
My mother-in-law thinks her son acted recklessly and foolishly. She believes he must do everything possible to rebuild his relationship with his ex-wife’s family. After all, his son is still there.
When I met Adam, he was already divorced. Supposedly, it was a mutual decision, and his ex-wife happily remarried. Apparently, her affair was the reason for their split.
Maybe we made a mistake by getting married. My own mum insisted we wed because she got pregnant, and I wasn’t really in love—I was just dating her. “If she hadn’t been pregnant, I wouldn’t have married her,” my husband explained.
I wasn’t intimidated by his ex. At first, I decided to watch him closely. I realised he really wasn’t longing for his old family; he was indifferent to his ex-wife. She wasn’t interested in him either. She remarried, and they only communicate about their son.
Only my mother-in-law couldn’t stand things as they were. His father as well. They kept trying to reunite the family, and took our relationship very negatively.
“You’re still young, your life is ahead of you. Why would you get involved in someone else’s family?” she asked me when we were alone.
I replied that if Adam were married, I wouldn’t interfere. But right now, he’s single. My mother-in-law tried to say more but fell silent when Adam came in. At that moment I knew I’d never have a good relationship with her—but I wasn’t particularly upset.
We got married and moved in together. I’ve hardly had any contact with my mother-in-law except for occasional family holidays. That’s when I have to listen to her sigh about my husband’s former family. Adam tries to hush his mum, as he isn’t happy about it either—but then it all just repeats.
We’re not rushing to have children. I don’t feel ready to be a mum and my husband already has a son, which my mother-in-law is very pleased about.
After the divorce, my mother-in-law stepped in—she kept inviting my husband’s ex-wife for Christmas and praised her for everything. “They made such a lovely couple…” she’d sigh.
His ex-wife had nothing to do with it—she was completely indifferent, just showed up and that was that. You could feel the lack of enthusiasm.
My mother-in-law even tried to make Adam jealous of his ex-wife and me jealous of him. She’d ring me asking if I knew where my husband was. If I didn’t, she assumed he was with his ex. Or she’d send him on errands to his ex. All sorts of little things.
I’m not jealous, but it all gets on my nerves. If you look at Adam and his ex, it’s obvious there’s nothing between them and there never will be. But having a child together doesn’t help. My husband regularly gives his ex money, sometimes talks to his son, and brings him round for visits. His ex isn’t manipulative or greedy, and doesn’t restrict visits. She seems perfectly normal. They behave like civilised adults. It just didn’t work out, and now each has their own life and they respect each other.
But my mother-in-law can’t accept that, constantly stirring up drama. When will she stop? When will she wise up? My husband hopes she’ll quiet down once I give her a grandchild, but I don’t believe it. My husband’s parents refuse to accept reality they keep trying to reconcile him with his ex-wife.

My Younger Brother Chose to Live with His Mother-in-Law and We Still Can’t Understand Why He Did It…
My younger brother married when he was just 18, rushing to prove his independence.
From the moment he was born, I took care of him—my own childhood ended the very day he came home from hospital. As he grew up, got married, and moved out, his life changed dramatically, but sadly, not for the better.
His wife, also just as young when they wed, had a strong, rather unpleasant personality. None of us liked her from the first meeting. She lacked tact and good manners, and her appearance didn’t impress us. I simply couldn’t see what my brother saw in her. They moved into a flat next door to her mother’s house. Her father was quiet and a bit eccentric—he rarely spoke and usually just nodded in reply. Her mother liked to be in control, barking orders everyone felt obliged to follow. She constantly criticised and judged my brother, and his wife always seemed dissatisfied with him too.
The way they treated my brother made me angry. I tried speaking to him about the situation, but he insisted everything was fine—that his wife loved him and that they were happy. However, over time I saw a complete change in him. He became just like his father-in-law, rarely speaking up and only occasionally nodding. But eventually, his patience ran out; he just couldn’t take it anymore. One day, he packed up and left without a word.
I’d never seen my brother like that before… He truly regretted marrying so young.
Everyone has a limit to their patience, and when you exceed it, you may well decide to quietly walk away from a situation that’s become unbearable. You know, my little brother made the surprising decision to move in with his mother-in-law, and honestly
