Double Whammy

This is one of those cases where I am glad that I don't remember much of my dream. I do remember enough to tell you that my ex husband and my ex mother in law were in it, and that my most recent ex boyfriend also made an appearance. The ex mother in law was trying to get my ex husband to control me. I wasn't doing what she wanted or expected, and she didn't like that at all. I didn't want to be there, and I wasn't going to help her do the weird and ridiculous traditions she wanted help with. At one point, she wanted me to join the cousins for some sort of game that was played. It seemed like an old victorian parlor game, but I'm not sure exactly what it was. Then, at another point, she wanted me to help her cook and clean, but she was not doing either of those things terribly well. Or maybe it was me that wasn't doing them well. Then she found out that I was "having an affair" with another man, but I wasn't even dating or married to my ex husband so the relationship I had with someone else wasn't an affair. At least for his part, the ex husband didn't seem to care. He didn't want me there as much as I didn't want to be there. Towards the end we seemed to "make up" so to speak, as we parted ways. The ex bf showed up in the dream because I was talking to him through text and he asked where I was, so I took a photo of the sign.

I was always so lucky that when I was married twice, I had two great MILs. My sister told me horror stories about her exes mother's, so I was really worried but no need to be.

@ScribbledAdNauseum I have to admit that even the Mom's of my major boyfriends liked me. I guess it was because I was so quiet. Now, they would probably hate me because I speak my mind.

@simone10 I was really quiet too. I've come out of my shell more, but yeah i was really quiet. I never met the parents of any of my other boyfriends, but then my ex husband was the most serious of all the bfs.

Very strange, and sometimes very telling, atleast for me.

There is a reason for the ex boyfriend, I wonder why your ex husband and MiL.

The ex boyfriend is more recent. It was only last year that we broke up, and I was talking to him again only a month ago. The ex husband and his mother were in my life for longer, and I never felt as if the mother liked me.

@ScribbledAdNauseum Unfortunately it happens to many young woman, the mother in laws think that they "stole" they beloved big babies.

@LadyDuck My ex husband was definitely a mama's boy. He is her only child.

Oh my, ex MIL and ex husband, was she that way when you was married?

I didn't feel as if she ever really liked me, and I'm not sure how she felt about her son either. She was a judgmental type of person.

@gr8nana6 Yeah, I don't like them either. I also remember once when she told her son that he was a mistake. It was an awful thing to hear.

@Butterfingers I saw his great grandmother, his grandfather and I think one of his cousins. However, one of his cousins was actually the nephew of his father, but we were having a celebration with his mother's side.

It's always amazing the roles that each person plays in dreams.

It is. It's not the first time I've dreamed of either of them either. It seems each time is drastically different.
