how to act arounf MIL
i never know how to actually act around MIL... i mean we're good, nothing bad is happening, but i sometimes wonder if i actually need to be more approaching to her or something. my husband says no need but i sometimes think what if she loved my husband's ex more 😂
I think the fact that you're even thinking about this means you're already being considerate, honestly. My MIL and I had the same kind of vibe where things were fine but I always wondered if I was doing enough, until I realised she just appreciated that I showed up and tried. If your husband says things are good between you two, that's actually the real indicator lah. The ex comparison thing is natural to think about but usually doesn't matter as much as we imagine it does, especially if you're a present and involved mum to his kids and partner to him. Maybe just keep doing what you're doing, and if there's a specific moment where you feel the distance, that's when you can reach out a bit more, but I wouldn't stress yourself trying to be someone you're not just to compete with a past relationship.
