We've been married for quite a while, I had a hunch before, but just dismissed it as just regular love of a child to a parent. Kaya lang, I began to realize and started to look back at a lot of times that he favored his mother - eh parang may mali. For my husband, his mother is perfect. I pointed out her flaws to him a lot of times, and instead of acknowledging it, pagtatanggol pa. I don't know the right term for it pero I feel his mother is "nangugulang" or gusto makalamang. We had a business deal before and nagulanggan nya kami big time. Hubby knows about it but kept a blind eye. Pag may request mother niya, specially with money, give-in agad siya. One time his mother asked him to buy a piece of property, pero ayaw ko since we are living abroad and our plan is to buy our house first, then invest in the Philippines if we have extra money. I didn't have work yet that time. ending we didn't buy that said property and his mom got really pissed. Si husband, ni hindi man lang inexplain kung bakit, tuloy ako ang lumalabas na may kasalanan and he didn't even defend me. Hanggang ngayon lumalabas yang issue na yan , isisingit talaga ni MIL if she gets the chance.
Marami pang ibang instances when we were still living sa Pinas. Every month nasa probinsya kami para makita parent niya, to the point that even my officemates were saying bakit hindi daw kami magbakasyon naman na kami lang 2 at hindi lagi sabit parent niya. 3wks post kasal, he went to the province and left me alone kasi ayaw ko sumama. Told him, pag nasa inyo tayo parang hindi mo ako kilala, parang hindi mo ako kasama kasi kayo nalang ng nanay mo ang magkausap lagi.
We have plans of going on vacation sa Pinas, our main purpose really is to check a property we acquired, sideline lang doon ang visit to his parents. Now, iba nanaman ang reason niya as to why we are going on vacation, sabi nya its to visit his parents daw. Naguluhan ako, since in the first place, hindi naman plano na umuwi tayo kundi lang dahil dyan sa property na yan, syempre, on the side, is the visit to the inlaws. Kasi if the main reason is the inlaws, I will go another time instead, kahit na mas mahal pa pamasahe, int hat way don't have to pull the kid out of school and hindi naman maubos lahat ng leave credits ko not even hallway through the year pa lang.
Of late, medyo madalas ang discusyon naming dahil kay MIL, sent so much money last year which is unnecessary, since may pera naman siya, ayaw lang ni hubby ofcourse aminin and would come to a quick defence of her all the time.
