Morning Ladies,
As you may or may not know mine and OH's relationship with his parents is not great, a 2 year period of not talking to/hearing from them has just passed. I havent really spoken about them much in the MIL rants as MIL has the same name as me, so heaven forbid she googled herself and ended up here it would be pretty obvious who I was...note to self, choose better screen name in future!
Anyways, for various reasons they have returned to the UK for 6 months (they live in south africa). We used to have a wonderful relationship and then a few years ago when they were visiting us in the uk there was a big argument and OH threw them out of our house and said he never wanted to hear from them again. So I think we have met with them twice since then when they have been over, mainly for the sake of OH's brother and sister. MIL was very cold with me and never acknowledged that I was speaking to her, where as FIL would give me the secret sqeeze that you just new meant something.
God this is turning into a longer post than i imagined...stick with me! ...
So now they are back for 6 months and OH and I have agreed to try and put things right. And it looks like they are on the same page as us. We have met up with them twice since they have been back and its been like the old times.We were planning to meet them on saturday but my shifts changed so I text MIL to say could we do lunch sat instead. To which FIL text back -
"They (MIL and OH's brother) are watching Enders so its up to me to reply. .... meet in bhill or meet you back here. Your choice. DIL x x"
Now am i getting to excited in thinking that DIL could stand for Dad in Law, and thats a nice sign of affection. Or has hitched and ruled my life and DIL doesnt stand for Dad in law like it does on here and it means something else blatently obvious but im to dim to understand!?
wow, well done for getting this far!
x
