My mother taught me how to always get my way with my husband. I saw her do it with dad over the years and he always caved. She’d want something knowing they couldn’t afford it but she knew dad would work 16 hours a day to keep her happy. When ever he’d tell her we can’t afford something she’d say “maybe I should have married so and so.” She knew how to make him feel bad. Married less than two years I tried that with my husband. He just said “maybe you should have, go find him and see if he needs more of your bullshit because I won’t miss you bitch!” I told my mother what he said, she said “go find the other guy and screw his brains out and tell that prick husband of yours how much better the guy was than him.” I didn’t but I told my husband I did. He didn’t want to talk about it, he just walked out. Mom told me he’ll be back. In a few days I was served divorce papers. I was like “WTF! I don’t want a divorce!” I’ve tried talking to my husband, even told him I made it up, I didn’t screw anyone. He said “well that’s what you’re saying now but it’s too late cause I’m not making this up, I don’t need your bullshit in my life.” Now what do I do? I love my husband, I don’t want a divorce. Mom told me I’m better off. I just lost it and yelled “goddammit mom would you just butt out, I don’t need your goddamn advice, I’m losing a good man because I listened to your shit!”
