Hi,

Even though I’m not a wife yet, really enjoying the empowered wife book. Could I apply these to my boyfriends mother?

I actually already do a lot of this with her. I duct tape etc. I try to leave stuff on his page to do with her, keep quiet about things bothering me about her to him for the sake of intimacy.

I’ve tried the kindness thing, I’m naturally like this anyway. First Christmas I got her a lovely card and present which she didn’t acknowledge or say thank you or anything. Now I don’t get her anything at all I feel super awkward. She doesn’t acknowledge my birthday or anything.

If she tells me he’s grumpy I duct tape or say he isn’t at all with me and tell her how wonderful I think he is.

How am I doing? Could I be doing anything else? I totally struggle with her I’d love to get along with her.
