Wife Confronts MIL Over Years of Mistreatment Towards Husband, Igniting Intense Family Discussion on Favoritism

The love a mother can give is unmatched. The idea that there is someone out there who will reach across the sky to guarantee your well-being has tremendous allure. Still, how would you respond if your mother-in-law disapproved of your partner?  Would you try to make up for it if he noticed the disparities between you and your siblings, or would you just accept things the way they are?

The story below is an account of a frustrated wife.  For over a decade, the original poster (OP) has been married to her spouse. His mother has never gone above and beyond to ensure sure he's happy or well during the course of their relationship. The clearest example of this was around his birthday when he would scarcely receive a $40 gift card while his siblings would receive expensive, well-thought-out presents.

OP decided to hide the gift from her spouse this year in order to make sure he doesn't feel upset and has the nicest birthday ever. But instead of receiving praise for her thoughtful action, she was criticized for acting in a supposedly 'selfish' way.  Thus, if you're curious about what happened and whether OP's mother-in-law found out that she had hidden the gift, make sure to read the story below. Additionally, after you're done, don't forget to read the story of the girl who finds out her lover is living a double life!
