Dear LIB men, what would you do if your wife sent a stinker to your mum

From a male LIB reader
A few days ago, my new wife sent a stinker text message to my mum asking her to butt out of our marriage. I can't go into details as to what brought about this situation but I wanted to find out from other men how they would react if their wives sent an insulting text message to their mum. I haven't spoken to or eaten her food since my mum forwarded the text to me. I haven't even discussed it with her but she knows I know. I love my mum to death and the thought of someone, especially my wife, sending her a belittling text makes me so mad. What should I do?

Feel free to take her for deliverance @"The lords chosen church" pls.

You can't just judge her by the text. Not that what she did is right. But I wonder what your mum also did to warrant such insult. You may love your mum, but you are now building a home with your wife, let her apologize to your mum and end it amicably pls

Unknown said...

The wife would have sought the consent of her husband and it also depends on how the mother-inlaw has seen their marriage. Some M.I's wouldn't want to leave their son's house because they don't love their son's choice.
I can only get angry at my wife if my mum has never being a case to worry in my marriage.

Tell ur mum to stop meddling in your matrimonial affair simple and she will not be insulted. Some mother-in-law are nosy porkers.

Some mothers dont mind their business.....She might have deserved the text nonetheless, a wife should be tolerant and patient, there is no excuse except you aint properly trained. I think an outstanding clap back slap would do. #justsaying#

Yes she is your mum, and I respect that fact... am a lady and I will never disrespect my mother in law. But wat parents fail to understand is that they need to minimize the way they interrupt in their children marriage.. I don't know the lady in question but I think you should sit her down and talk to her... some mother in laws can seriously be a pain in the ass but we all need to handle it wisely so that we do not create enmity in the family...Remember your mum once had a mother in law and am sure she has a story to tell... so Bros cool down no because of your mama scater your marriage.

Talk to your wife...some mother in laws could b rilli frustrating at times

Peejay said...

I'm a married woman and I haven't commented in weeks but this got me feeling so bad.

Your wife is completely out of line and lacks a proper upbringing. The Bible says in Prov. 14:1 Every wise woman builds her house, but a foolish one tears it down with her own hands.
Regardless of what your mother did, she had no right sending that text. She should have put God and not you in between the situation.
She should turn to God and not attempt fighting her battles herself.

I'm not claiming to be a perfect wife but Lord knows that a home can only be built or torn apart by a woman. If she reads this, please ask her to read Proverbs and seek forgiveness.

I refuse to judge your wife until I know what your mum had done. If you can't spill what your mum did please park well. Your sound like a mummy's boy. From your write ups your mum is in control of you and for her to foward the message to you is to add more fire to your marriage . Talk to your wife and your mum should stay out of your marriage cod I don't think your wife woke up 1morning and decided to go mad. Some mother inlaws are so devilish. You wife also needs to control he temper. Sometimes silence is the best answer to a fool. Something don't need confrontation. From the look of things you have taking stands against your wife and that is what your mum wants (rejoicing in her heart) so take a chill pill and tak charge as a man. Let gods wisdom guide you.

As a man this is a serious redline.
Nobody is allowed to insult my Mum no matter what, and the thought of my wife doing it is extremely humiliating and painful.

Well..if your wife sends a stinker straight to your mum it's because you don't have control over your home. If you were capable of handling it she would have directed her worries to you. The fact that your wife feels your mum needs to butt out means you haven't set the boundaries for your mum. The fact that your wife did what she did means you haven't set the boundaries for your wife. You love your mum but she is no longer part of your nuclear family. She is extended. Your wife is your nuclear family. You are the captain of the ship set the boundaries for both women and protect them. Be wise!

The wife obviously overreacted. They are subtle ways u can tell ur mother in-law not to interfere in ur marriage, but sending her a stinker text is so not advisable. The situation is dicey. Don't know what to tell u to do bro, but ur wife stepped outta line.

Please talk to your wife,and sort it out among yourselves. Marriage is not for mummy boys.You need to call your mum to order BUT respectfully. Your wife is a new member of the family and if she is not treated with the respect she deserves, she will be forced to do what she has done.At the same time,talk to her and understand her position.It is hard to keep queit when you are not treated right.
My mum in law is a reverend (pastor),but the things she does????.I am not perfect either but will never write her a rude text or mail,the highest is just to ignore her,after which she starts ranting to her son that i dont pick her calls or return her hypocritical messages . Sometimes, silence is golden.

BO said...

I know how u feel and you must feel very upset and at a cross road.

You need to sought the wisdom of God in this matter, lean on his knowledge and understanding if u must make a wise decision.

The sensational response u get here from men might not be the best. Let you wife know how much she has hurt you by disrespecting your mum.

However, you must forgive her and bridge the gap.

Pray above all. It is well with your beloved mother and wife.

Unknown said...

That's too bad of your wife...try to find out from ur wife what really happened b4 u can act.

Unknown said...

My brother first of all is that what you have is only one mother and that mom of yours nutured you right from infant till your an adult. For a so called wife to come in and start insulting that woman who has done so much for you is what I wouldn't take at all if I were you. Most women are fond of that rubbish. They tend to insult and wicked their mother in-law which I think is a very bad thing. If her own mother were to be insulted by her brothers wife, I know she wouldn't take it lightly. So if I were you sir, I will address the situation properly. My wife has no reason of any sort to send a stinker messgae to my mom. Its not proper. She has to apologise for that wrong deed.

That's very rude and it just shows what your new wife is capable of. Be careful because if you don't get on her side she can use other unnatural acts, hopefully it doesn't get to that stage. Good luck

Anonymous said...

It's wrong for her to send an insulting message to her. If it were to be her mother would she have done that? But also I will not be one sided because she too will have something to see. What has your mom been doing to her that would have led her into that. There must a clear cut between ur marriage and family. No member of ur family has a right to intrude into ur marriage. At a certain age a man must learn to to run his family on his without having to involve his parents or family to it. What has your mum too been doing that has been making your wife clash with her and are you the type of guy that run at any slightess provocation to your mum to report no woman wants that. A woman wants her man to be independent and a mums boy.

This is serious. You can't ignore her for much longer. Communicate your feeling to her and make her apologize to your Mum. Obviously, things will be different. On the flip side, it is really important we dig deep into the character of our partners before saying "I DO". Good luck!

Y is ur mum putting her nose in your marriage ? Grow some balls and tell her to back off yourself and your wife won't have to. Your mum asked for it. As difficult and it might be for her u r married and there's a place for mum and place for wife. Handle your home and leave your mum out of it.

your mother got served .. for ur wife to send her that stinker, she has had enough... the things women go through in the hands of so called mother inlaws cannot be over emphasised .inasmuch as I no get mind do am I will give her thumbs up..oh yes ..your mother should take several seats and let your marriage be and you have got to be a man

Share the text with all stakeholders. Infact share the story and her face with the whole world, on instagram, facebook, twitter etc and let an extended family meeting be held to address this once and for all. By the time the world castigates her, she will shrink into her shell. nough said

Unknown said...

You said is a new wife, though u didn't provide much information as to the series of event that led her to sending such message to your mum, but what ever it is, I don't think your wife should have done that.

But to be fair on your wife, I believed your mum must have been interfering in the marriage one way or the other. One of the killers of marriage is THIRD PARTY INTERFERENCE!.

I can understand the love you have for your mother, it shows you and your mother are quite close but that might also be the cause of the problem.

"Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and to cleave to his wife and they shall become one fleas. Gen 2:24"

Marriages should be a successful leaving and cleaving for the one flesh to be attained. If not it is not yet a marriage.

Husbands and wife's should avoid family members maddling into their affairs. They should not be arbiters or counselors to quarrel or else they will fuel up the case and make mountains out of molehills. Couples should at all cost be independent and learn to resolve their misunderstanding in the family room.

While i think what your wife did was rash, you should make sure your mother and the love you have for her is not having undue influence in your marriage. It can cause a communication breakdown between you and your wife.

Anonymous said...

Mother in laws are known for poking their noses into their sons' marriages and it's soo frustrating for the wives, however a woman who doesn't respect your mother is not a keeper, can't afford to lose your mother over a woman. If you truly love both of them, get the wife to apologize to the mother face to face and promise to never do it again.

That's wrong of her.

You also should try levelling the love u ve for both women cause we can be jealous when more attention is given to one more

Esoge Nky said...

if u actually love ur mum to death den why did u marry a lady and also you have to tell us the situation that occurred for her telling ur mum to "butt out". If u do not know that u r now a married man and you both should cleave and leave as one. Ur mum should allow you to enjoy your marriage and leave u in peace with u n your wife. For her sending u the sms which your wife sent to her , ur mum is only trying to destroy your marriage. There is no one who does not love his mum to death, but when ur married , ur mum should adjust and know her place in ur life. Thanks.

Joseph Chuks said...

If you love your mum as you described, why didn't you marry her? You still have a choice, anyway. On the other hand, what I will do, if I were in your situation is simple: I will hear the two sides of the stories before making a definite judgment.
In your own case, it seems to me you're already biased towards your mum, and this might colour your judgement. So you may need to rethink your attitudes toward your wife, as a first step to finding solution to this problem.
Best!

Ifeanyi said...

the fact that it reached the stage where your wife had to text your mother it is your fault. Men need to realise that when they marry they need to focus on their wives and should stop letting their mothers butt into their marital affairs. can you imagine how annoying it must be for your wife who I'm sure is constantly hearing about what your mum wants or what she said. she is a married woman and in her home it is her right to do what she likes in her house!!!!
anyway you now know how your wife feels. you are the only one that can stop this problem. this text did not just fall from heaven. you are the only one that can stop your mother from butting into your affairs. if you cant do it and your wife has reached her breaking point then she will do something rash like sending this text because that kind of frustration will drive a woman crazy. talk to your wife get her to apologise and in future keep the things that happen in your home between you and your wife stop running to mummy.(it doesn't matter how much you love her)

Is not good,i can't do that,but it still depends on how ur mum interferes in ur marriage,keep ur mothers love out of ur marriage,love ur mum and care for her,but let her not interfere in ur home,bcos that is where your problem will start, u won't find joyooo,

A man leaves his parents 2 join his wife, it's in d bible. U better be careful, some mothers can be mean 2 our spouses behind us. Ur mum myt be so happy with how u are treating ur wife now, she's now d angel & would now make ur wife worship her just 2 be in control of ur marriage.

What did your mother do? Not eating your wife's food, will only make things worse. It's a new marriage nuture it.

Discus it with her. Let her know your stand. Also make your mum understand she has limits in matters concerning you and your wife. Enough said. Ok bye

Speak to your wife in a very calm and Godly manner and find out what the problem is. Make her understand your mom is not trying to take her place and that no matter what you are both together in this marriage. You will support her but she needs to speak to you always. tell her calmly she hurt your feelings by not speaking to you first about the problem she has with your mom. Sometimes mis communication ends up causing hurt and grief. Do the same for to your mom. She may not know she said something to hurt your wife hence your wife's reaction. This is one way you can win this battle and please don't think I condone your wife's text to your mom. Hope this helps.

If your mother wasn't interfering in your marriage; most mother's have being known to, if your mom wasn't then you need to give your wife a good talking to. Let her see herself in your shoes and ask her what she'd do. Also make sure your judgements is not clouded by your feelings for your mom.

Grow up man, there are issues in marriage that silence alone can't handle. First you need to know how to marry set boundaries Btw ur mum's interference in your home. Then as for your wife, she needs to understand that the day she decided to marry you, that was the day your mum became hers and as such, if she wouldn't insult her own biological mother, then she shouldn't insult yours. If your mum acted out of place, she should show some courtesy by reporting it to you. Lastly, you need to be matured in handling this women. You are no longer a mummy's boy but a husband to some woman and as such, boundaries must be maintained and respected.

Forgive her, remember you guys are one, so she is her mother too. Talk to her, make her understand that parents can be so wrong sometimes but we don't go about it that way, we owe them honour, love and respect no matter what.

It is in no way right for d wife to send such msg to her mother in-law, but u hv to exercise patience so as not to worsen situation, y not sit ur wife n both of u address d primary issue dat brought about the txt msg. i feel ur wife want her place as d woman of d home n u hv to respect dat. this is d time to fight for peace in ur home not time to react to ur wife's actions.........AREMS

That's wrong of her. Sit her down talk sense into her No matter what ur mum did she should talk to u about it instead of insulting ur mum. make her go down to ur mum and apologies cause no child no matter ur age should disrespect her mother or another's mum. You also should try levelling the love u ve for both women cause we can be jealous when more attention is given to one more

U should hv married ya mother and leave the innocent lady alone. SILLY MEN dat put deir mother first in everything dey do in marriage n you think it's everyone dat wld accept such rubbish.

The question is what have you been telling your mum about your marriage, what has your mum been saying, has she really been butting in... you guys need tons top being mummy's boys. Stop taking your bloody issues to your mother. Grow up!! Deal your issues within your home and act as the mediator to ensure there is peace. I'm sure your wife is not crazy. You and your mum must have pushed her to the wall. Big ups to her for having the courage. Wish I had the same to be honest. Mrs O

It depends on the type of mom you have, if she is a good one, stop your wife from doing that and if she refuse, let her go back to her parents. But if your mom is the bad one, I mean those that hate other people's children for no reason, then she deserve the stinker.

Yea u love ur mum good. Pls tell her to stop interfering in ur marriage. As 4 ur wife, she was wrong in sending d text. Tell her to not try it next time or else. TALK TO YOUR MOTHER!

papa bomboy said...

umu aka! he say he has not eaten her food. don't eat na.

go and handle your mother so your wife does not do your work for you. if she is a good wife she will apologise to you and your mother but I'm sure she had reason for her actions.

Anonymous said...

Your mum shouldn't have forwarded the text to you and I agree your wife shouldn't have sent the text to your mum either.

But if your wife felt the need to address your mum like that, it might well be that it's something you are doing or saying to her that made her feel she had to do that.

Mothers should learn to keep mute about some things daughter in laws do if they want a happy home for their sons #justsaying

Zomy said...

Truth is some MILs just don't give a breather,dont know hw bad this one is,buh some of them actually deserve worse than a stinker,and u men permit it,not knowing what ur wives r going true...she may have been disrespectful by sending that msg,buh u know ur wife better,if she's not usually like this,then she's had a full dose and was choking.
Don't let ur mother come in between ur wife,cos u can always reconcile with ur mom,buh it myt not be easy to fix ur marriage.
So apply wisdom and diplomacy and try to make ur wife apologise to ur mum,cos she's older than her,and to avoid issues btwn 2 important women in ur life...so thread carefully!

Truelly Tell ur mum to butt out of ur lives,cos I guess it's choking ur wife that's why she just had to send ur mum the message. . And for ur wife,call her and tell her u don't appreciate how she went about it,she should have consulted with u first.

There must be a reason why your wife is not in terms with your mum, and i'm sure you know about it and she must have been frustrated by your inaction. well my advice is: call your wife let her know you are mad about that text (i'm sure she will apologize if you handle it maturely) and then respectfully talk to your mum. its your wife's house not hers.

I am a woman and I dont joke with my Mum. It is obvious your wife does not respect her mother either. Else she will not do that to somebody else's mother, talk more her mother inlaw. Send on a vacation to her parent's place until she is remorseful. Its not the solution to the problem, but she needs a little more lesson.

U re a man nd u. Should not allow ur mum to come in between ur marriage. Wat ur wife did is vry. Bad wich. Demands an apology bcos. She supposed to see ur mum as her mum too. Pls.

The wife must be suffering from severe mental imbalance. Without delving into what did or didn't transpire between the wife and the mother in law, the wife should have first brought it to the attention of the husband so that he can address the matter (if there is any matter to be addressed sef, as 98% of the time wives see and experience imaginary things when it comes to the female relatives of their husbands). The husband should pray for the wife so that her mental imbalance will be alleviated. @anonymousbobookokobioko!

Cynthia M said...

YOU SHOULD DIVORCE YOUR WIFE ASAP AND MARRY YOUR MOTHER!!!
You have said that you love your mother to death and cannot stand anyone, "especially" you wife to insult her. You have also refused to reveal the cause of the "insulting" text message and I assume it's because you are ashamed at what your mother did.
I will tell you that your wife should not have insulted your mother. I will also tell you that your mother should not have done what ever she did. Basically, what I am saying here is that if you easily forgave one, you should easily forgive the other.
Another suggestion is for you to dig deeper. Ask yourself really deeply, are you really angry with your wife or with your mother? Turn it around, if your father in-law did to you what your mother did to your wife, what would be your reaction?

No matter what ur mum has done, or said, an insulting message to her from ur wife is quiet wrong. Where is patience and tolerance in her dico???

Anonymous said...

Clearly you're not a real man. We can't judge if we don't know the genesis of the matter. Also you should be the one resolving the issue no mater how bad. You're supposed to leave your father and mother and CLEAVE to your wife. Not be a spoilt brat rejecting your wife's food and not discussing with her. Clearly you're still attached to mummy's apron strings!

World People said...

Y did u let it get that far. Ur indifference is the cause of this mess ...ur wife must have been fed up .

No use crying over split milk. Ur a man , instead of sulking and keeping malice like a child address the issue head on . Adress what brought this about -and listen actively .

Tell ur mom there is indeed a boundary now ...and ur Wife is the pillar of ur home . Ensure ur mom respects ur wife and isn't involved in the decision making between u and ur wife .

Lastly talk to ur wife and really listen . Promise to be more sensitive to her in the future and go with her to apologize to ur mom .

Do not ignore any such fracas in the future . Always nip conflicts in the bud ..be actively involved in ur marriage ...

All the best

Pray for God directions and your wife needs to respect your mum. If she didn't bring you up to become who you are today, she will not see you to marry. Also let your mum know that you have a wife

Anonymous said...

Walahi talahi, she is very right but has not done it the right way. There is no 3rd party in a marriage relationship. Don't forget that you love your mother to death.
She ought to have discussed with you and make you to see her reason and allow you to handle the issue as your mother is her her mother.
Both of you need good counselling to move forward. May God help you.

The two have their place. Your mum is over stepping her bounds she should be cautioned by you and not your wife. Maybe because you haven't done that that's why she did. If you have not gotten any complain from your wife and she did that she's has really over stepped her bounds and I would give her a federal warning. She must tender an apology else..........

Anonymous said...

You av refused to tell us details of what led to it and from the sound of things I think there must have been serious issues relating to your mum and your wife joining your marriage, I want you to know that it is bad for her to send such a message to your mum but I will also want you to know that there's a limit to human endurance and I personally think you have failed in your responsibilities of not addressing the issue before it escalates hence blame no one but yourself for not meeting up with your responsibilities as the head and man of the home.

Anonymous said...

Ignore and try to talk to elders to help them settle and resolve whatever issues they may have between them. Remember, they are both women of different hormones and I am sure your mother at your wife's age would have been the same jealous. You will always have your mother forever, but if you divorce your wife because of this little thing, you will never have your years, your me,or you, time, and efforts spent with your wife back; and the pains of that last forever.

Maybe you should marry your mum and let her bear kids for you. Are you married to your mother? She has no business in your marriage in the first place and the earlier you put her in check, the happier your marriage would be.

This is how mothers go, destroying their children's homes with unwarranted interferences

If you like go on hunger strike for ever, you are just living in denial. You know the right thing...

Anonymous said...

Avoid seeking counsel from the public. I am not supporting anyone but ur mom must ve interfered in ur family affairs as mother. It's always good to stay away from ur son/daughter marital life. Any reasonable parent does not come into son/daughter normal issues in marriage which can only be sorted out by you and ur spouse so in conclusion advise ur mom to stay away from ur marriage then call ur wife to order and be a strong man. You will surely build a better home.

She was very wrong to do that but at the same time, that speak volumes about your mum as i dont see y anybody would send anyone a belittling message if boundaries were respected. Secondly as a mother if my son's wife ever does that I will never show it to him cos that will earn me a greater respect , at d end of the day she will reealise that even though she messed up, I love my son so much that i wont foreward a message that can destroy his home.

ALSO LET HER KNOW HOW WILL SHE FEEL IF YOU SEND SUCH ABUSIVE TEXT TO HER OWN MOTHER? SHE SHOULD SHOW RESPECT TO YOUR MOTHER IF SHE LOVE YOU. WHATEVER MIGHTY BE THE ISSUE BETWEEN YOUR MOTHER WITH HER, SHE SHOULD INFORM YOU FIRST TO SEE HOW YOU WILL HANDLE IT, NOT TO SEND TEXT AND ABUSE HER.PLEASE DON'T BE ANGRY WITH HER, APPLY GOD WISDOM AND LET IT NOT HAPPEN AGAIN.THANKS
