I always read about how badly OP was treated, and then the husband comes out of nowhere saying OP is embarrassing him or OP is overreacting. I’m proud of the husband for standing up for not only OP but for himself as well. Best of luck to them. MIL is gonna be forever miserable. If all she is worried about is class and how much money one has, she gone be alone and miserable (don’t care if she has a husband or not).

She gonna call OP a gold digger when she was fully willing to stay with her husband even if he didn’t take the inheritance. She wasn’t looking for money she was looking for love. The only one looking for money and status was MIL.

I can totally see all this happening... in Asia. S. Korea, Taiwan, maybe Malaysia or even India. Not a racial thing, is just a region where classism is still very strong due to some twisted cultural beliefs, incluind that poverty is a curse/punishment for errors of a previous life.

They should get a restraining order on mil.

The fact MiL believed she could get her son to divorce op tells that she thinks FAR too highly of herself and believes that she had control over her own son's life. Specially when she said that she "allowed" the marriage as if she had control over who her son was with. I'm not surprised that after op screamed and called her out she demanded her son to divorce op for telling her, rightfully, off. Then to beg her son to come back to her and divorce op when he left her house. People like her don't want to realize that their the problem and why their kid cut them off.

Another case of someone crying after playing with the proverbial fire and then getting burned. However, even though I am proud of OP for standing up to her toxic MIL, I still say she and her husband should put some physical distance, and maybe look towards moving away if they can afford it. I know narcissistic douchebags my whole life, that MIL will keep returning until she finally gets that "petty middle finger" moment against OP, and maybe even wait years before trying to spring her trap. Best solution here is prevention, go complete no contact by keeping your distance and changing your numbers.

These two are one of the greatest, purest, and most wholesome couples I’ve ever seen. Without a doubt an incredibly healthy relationship. Seriously. I’ve heard lots of stories with couples that stayed together through it all, but in this one there wasn’t even the slightest doubt in one another. Not once did they budge in their feelings and commitment to each other. And deciding to go to marriage counseling is such a mature and farsighted decision. They saw a slight weakness in their communication and even though it was resolved quickly they still wanted to strengthen their connection. (Most people, let alone couples, can’t admit that they did anything wrong, or that they’re lacking in any way, so they wouldn’t even entertain the idea of getting help.)

W husband.

Shout out to your husband for defending you. He has nothing but the definition of an amazing person. I'm glad he finally call his mother out on her BS and promised to take legal action if she kept this up. 👏👏👏👏

I am semi-worried about whether she'll get pregnant someday and Olivia will try to take the baby.

OP better hold onto this man. MIL can keep her money, and she will learn how miserable she is surrounded by success but no family. It's a wonder her son learned to show the same respect for the janitor as one would to the CEO. At least her grandchildren certainly will.

Olivia acts like that because she loves her boy too much in a unhealthy way and sees through that underneath your “innocent” appearance, you are just as ruthless and scheming as her.

i like the husband's response to going NC: "not good enough".

So I'm not to the good part yet, but no one of good stock would treat someone this way. This is such a nouveau riche thing to do. She may be a classist, but she's classless.

Don’t worry, you’ll get the last laugh when she’s old and alone.

If she was a gold digger, she would've left him when the mother said that he was no longer inheriting everything his mother left, and she would've stopped working by now, so from my point of view she's the farthest thing from gold digger.

I strongly believe that the victims' voice should be the loudest on how to deal with what happened to them. That being said... I really wish they did something immediately after that "prank," whether it's exposing MIL or taking legal action or whatever else. MIL just kept escalating and escalating. To me there were too many "I didn't think she'd take it this far" moments, and I guess I'm the type to think that if someone is already doing something really bad, they're capable of worse unless they show me otherwise. Even if it's an extreme situation, I hope OP learns to stand up for herself more often.

Yeaaaah this one sounds really made up... Straight out of a telenovella
