She Demanded Her Mother-In-Law Take Down A Facebook Post About Her Late Husband’s Ex-Wife, But Her Mother-In-Law Refused
Three years ago, this twenty-seven-year-old woman tragically lost her husband.
And her late husband had suffered from a chronic condition throughout the majority of their time together. So, she often accompanied him to hospitals for his frequent stays, and the pair eventually even got engaged and married in one.
But, just three weeks after they said their vows, he sadly passed away.
“So much happened in such a short time, and it all just left me devastated beyond measure,” she said.
Nonetheless, she has maintained a good relationship with her late husband’s family since then– despite her in-laws still keeping in contact with her late husband’s ex-wife.
Apparently, he and his ex had been together for six years. But, after his condition worsened, his ex-wife could not handle it and ended up leaving him.
“My late husband dealt with mental health decline because of it, but, clearly, my in-laws had forgiven her. They even allowed her to attend the funeral and gave her some of his belongings as keepsakes,” she recalled.
Still, her late husband’s ex had not been a huge issue for her until just recently, when she noticed her mother-in-law published a new post on Facebook.
The post congratulated her late husband’s ex about their newborn baby and also announced that the baby had been named after her late husband.

She was utterly shocked to see her mother-in-law had posted that, though, and believed her in-laws were acting like her late husband’s ex was still his wife. Moreover, as if the newborn was his baby.
So, she went over to her in-law’s house, immediately brought up the post, and tried to explain how uncomfortable it made her.
But, her mother-in-law reportedly just acted like the Facebook post was “normal” and also said that the ex was like a daughter to them.
This pissed her off, but she reiterated her feelings and asked to have the post taken down. Still, her mother-in-law refused.
“So, I got upset and said that she was being disrespectful of me as her son’s wife and told her to take it down again.
But, she got defensive, saying that my husband’s ex did all she could to be there for him and that it was okay that she felt she couldn’t handle the situation,” she explained.
Her mother-in-law also claimed that the newborn’s new name was “just a name” and that she had no business even bringing it up– much less spurring a full-blown argument.
And finally, her mother-in-law said that other people cared about her son, too, and that she should just get over it.
“So, I called her insensitive and delusional, which caused her to tell me to leave her house,” she vented. Yikes!
Now, she is feeling totally enraged about the situation. She and her in-laws had been on great terms. They would call often and visit each other monthly.
But after this incident, she does not even want to talk to them. Still, though, she does not want it to cause a massive falling out between her and the family.
In turn, she has been left wondering if asking her mother-in-law to delete the Facebook post was within her rights or if she totally crossed the line.
Do you think her ask was reasonable or an overreaction? How would you have handled this situation?
