'Good luck getting her to pay': Couple asks if MIL should pay them back after she suddenly changed her mind

You think you know a person… This woman and her husband got the surprise of a life time when his mother changed her mind about their living situation. 

U/AdventurousIdea1210 shared that she and her husband have been living with his mother for months. It was a strategic plan — the MIL said she would sell her house to them in the future. She kept the mortgage in her name, but at the same time, she encouraged her son and daughter-in-law to make some pricey additions to the home. Since the OP was under the impression she'd be living in the MIL's home forever, she was happy to pay expenses, build a fire pit, and spend thousands creating a yard they'd love for years to come. 

But owning this home just wasn't in the cards for this couple. The MIL changed her mind after a breakup with her boyfriend. She's just not going to leave the home, meaning all of her son and DIL's work was to improve her home, not their own. The OP is naturally frustrated about all this, and in the comments, people were saying she wasn't to blame, but that she naively made an expensive mistake. 

Up next, this guy was determined to do the bare minimum at work — all because his boss is a major liar.
