My husband Carl and I had a great marriage, and his family was nice to me, too.
It was Carl’s birthday, and while we were preparing dinner, my MIL asked me to go and buy some more groceries.
The guests were supposed to arrive very soon, so I quickly ran out.
My shopping took little time. When I returned, Carl came out of the house and accused me of ruining his birthday. It turned out that his mom…
…had told everyone that I left because I was upset and didn’t want to help celebrate.
She claimed I walked out during preparations because I didn’t “feel appreciated.”
