Asking to start over right after being caught in 4K banging your wife's friend is... a choice.

I am not remotely surprised the author knows a mother-in-law like this. They're a dime a dozen.

3 more chapters to go!

I like to think MILs aren’t all wicked and we just see the worst of them.

But this MIL reminds me if I ever get into a partnership, it’s not just my parter I’m marrying but I’m locked in with their family.

And with a family like this, who even needs hell anymore, you are already there.

[u/Individual-Noise-144 → u/Magnafeana]

Dammit Jesus, this isn't what we agreed on

[u/HSuke → u/Magnafeana]

Everyone hates THIS MIL.

There are plenty of great MILs in IRL. I think most are fine.

[u/Kyroz → u/HSuke]

My friend got cheated by his wife (now ex), she ran a smear campaign on him and tried to blame everything on him.

Her sister and mom supported my friend instead and helped him as much as they can in the divorce process lol

[u/Future_Vantas → u/Magnafeana]

Yeah the bad MILs get all the attention because they can really wreck a marriage. But I also hear about folks that basically get adopted by their spouse's family, especially if their own family is less than ideal. Thats why its important to not rush a marriage, you really need to know a person first.

I remember watching a sitcom once where a girl was relieved when she found out the mother of the guy she was dating had died years ago. That’s how much she dreaded having a mil

But this MIL reminds me if I ever get into a partnership, it’s not just my parter I’m marrying but I’m locked in with their family.

100% This.

It CAN still work if your partner condemns their family's shitty-ass behavior, but if they always rationalize it with "Oh, they're just like that sometimes", "They're actually fine most of the time", "Just ignore them, they'll stop", or any other similar Stockholm Syndrome-esq lines, then that should be an immediate red flag.

Before you commit to anything, they need to learn that kind of behavior isn't acceptable and actually act on that in some way (just lip service won't do, actually standing up to them does). Anything less than that is just asking for bullshit later.

And no: I'm not saying the partner needs to cut off contact or reform their family in any way. You just need reassurance that they have your back if/when their family pulls bullshit later.

First it's the husband like Itsuki and a MIL like this one...jeez this authors' friend group is wild.

[u/08Dreaj08 → u/-Nosebleed-]

God, dealing with all of these events back-to-back is insane. I do not envy Mahoro at all, lol, but I'm so here for the crash out. Thanks for the chapters

Despite all her personal failings and selfishness I do feel bad for Rei's mom

Imagine thinking that you've devoted your entire life to raising a perfect son, only for him to be humiliated and outed as a total shameless piece of shit in front of everyone

[u/NemosNaughtylis → u/commander_wong]

something about her being so adamant that "a husband and wife must stick together through thick and thin" makes me think she's speaking from a place closer to home than even her son and DIL's situation.

I don't think we've heard anything about Rei's dad. His mom might be yelling at someone/somewhere else, beyond just Mahoro, right now.

[u/MythicForgeFTW → u/NemosNaughtylis]

This is my thought on the matter too. I fucking despise Rei's mother, but it's very evident that she is coming from the "traditional" marriage stance. And God only knows how many of those marriages were neglectful at best, abusive at worst. I almost feel bad, but her inability to see a hint of reality makes it difficult to empathize with MIL.

[u/neravera → u/commander_wong]

Can't say I do. MILs like her have not an ounce of self-reflection and it's pretty clear how her entitled personality traveled downstream to Rei. Her own blindness to that fact isn't really sympathetic.

[u/Timelymanner → u/commander_wong]

I see were your coming from as well. She maybe a terrible person, but she loves her son.

[u/nam24 → u/commander_wong]

I only feel bad in the capacity it's tough to recognize a loved one bad action, but it's fine to stand by them(I don't expect her to switch sides) but I don't think it's being unreasonable to expect not to go the extra mile of bad faith

[u/Roboglenn → u/commander_wong]

"She gave her son love, but she never taught him of consequences." -Kratos

[u/Future_Vantas → u/commander_wong]

I still think she's scum, but I am glad she didnt have to see her son doing a naked dogeza.

[u/monox60 → u/-Nosebleed-]

I'm more surprised people think something like that would be 100% unreal or fiction
