One day, my MIL came over unexpectedly with a young woman she introduced as Lila. “This is who I always pictured for my son,” she said right in front of me. I was stunned, especially when she added, “You should take notes from her. She cooks and cleans like a real wife.”
I felt humiliated. That’s when my husband suddenly said, “Mom, this is unacceptable,” and escorted her out of the house. Later, I found out that Lila was the daughter of one of her friends, and she’d been pushing them together long before we got married.
