    Font - I (27f) haven't gotten along with my MIL for the better part of my relationship with my partner (27m). She has said a lot of mean things about me that are honestly just childish and cruel (I won't get into the he said she said stuff). I've become exhausted with her, especially as I've moved into my career, moved town and am in the process of getting married/ buying a house. In the past few years shes taken to outright ignoring me, speaking over me, pretending i dont exist. As a result, I'

    Font - We were at a family dinner party (my partner asked me to come along) recently where she started asking him about when he's having children. She kept pestering him and asking when she's getting grand babies and that she wants children around. This has been something shes been harping on a lot about lately and its getting on my nerves.

    Font - My partner asked her to stop several times but she kept bringing it up. I was sat there silent for a bit, but I think the wine got the best of me so I kinda snapped. I turned to her and started asking what she wants to know about our private life?? What kind of protection we're using, what positions we've tried, what toys we use. I started to list them all. Lets just say I used very inappropriate language for a dinner table, even throwing in a "do you have any pointers for me, or maybe it

    Font - My partner thinks I took it a bit far in front of his family, and his aunties have said it was wildly uncalled for and mean. I don't really feel bad for it though, should I? AITA? ETA: I'm infertile. She isn't aware of this, I'd never give her that info to weaponise against me. But just for the people commenting to keep kids away from her, I won't have any to keep away from her but thank you for the advice. I know your hearts in the right place. My partner has told her several times we wo

I wouldn't make a habit of this, but the only way to stop bullies is to beat them at their own game. No shame in doing so when the situation calls for it; hopefully next time, she keeps her nose out of your business.

You may have been a little extreme but I guarantee she'll think twice before asking again! ETA: She was probably banking on the fact that there were other people around so you wouldn't call her out. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

    Font - Emeraldsof - 3 hr. ago . edited 3 hr. ago I know this one will be a spicy take, but NTA. She was being incredibly creepy and inappropriate to you in a public setting. It is so gross an inappropriate to act like women are walking incubators for giving relatives grandbabies. You managed to reclaim power and control of the situation and turned it back around on her. You also tried to get her to stop nicely and she didn't care. You're not wrong to stand up for yourself.

    Rectangle - likeahike 3 hr. ago Colo-rectal Surgeon [42] NTA, I found this extremely funny, but I'm Dutch and we like a no nonsense attitude. I think you need to put her in a time out and not let your frustration get to the boiling point. Go no contact if you have to, even if your husband still sees her on occasion.
