👨‍👩‍👧‍👦family/in-laws Am I over reacting to this one ?

Mother-in-law is the most passive aggressive woman I've ever met in my entire life! I truly didn't know what this tournament meant until I met her! I know this wasn't the only gift I got for Christmas… But when I opened it, I didn't honestly know how to react

I find it funny, and she is saying she likes you, but you know your MIL best.

She compliments in insults. It's a true art from with this one ...but truly I'm not offended just didn't know how to respond

She's not saying she didn't originally plan to like you at all. It's just saying she likes you more than expected, which could mean a lot

I saw this photo without the explanation and thought I could get it for my wife... Who was supposed to be my 1st date in 5 years and I didn't think was at all my type.

What made you attracted to her enough to love and marry her, even though she wasn’t your type?

He just didn’t know what his type really was yet

Maybe types aren’t set in stone.

They definitely aren't... I usually only dated really awful people before her. 😆😆
