Relationships would be much easier if text messages would just delete themselves automatically.

I think the bigger problem isn't reading the messages, but the fact that you thought you should.
When facebook came into play and we'd heard some of the stories about what happens, brideowanian and I had a discussion about it. The answer is that we have an open book policy. I've never asked, but if I do, I have the right to read anything she has in an email, message box or text, and that goes both ways. To my knowledge, we've neither one felt the need to follow up. A healthy relationship wouldn't contain messages that would be dangerous to the relationship. Bitching about your mother's shitty cooking isn't nice to read, but it's not the same as exchanging sexually suggestive notes with a coworker or something. Do the world a favor and don't get married until you're both mature enough for that commitment. |

My mother-in-law IS a shitty cook. And my wife already knows it because she's eaten much more of her cooking than I ever will.
Can't wait for tomorrow's runny/lumpy mashed potatoes. |

My advise is to let the text messages go. It is the season to forgive and nothing good is going to come out of confronting her about it. Hell for all we know maybe because her family hates his family and talks shit on them that she's just playing along. Doubtful I know. But hell just let it go. Oh and stay away from her ****ing phone.

You sound very insecure reading her texts.

Some people have hinted around this so far but is any if the shit she is talking on your family true? If so then where's the problem?

Eh. It depends on the circumstance. I don't rely on my wife to meet every single need I have as a person and I don't try to meet every single need she has either. If his wife was just venting, I don't see it as a big deal.

If she dislikes his family THAT much and he doesn't agree (he obviously doesn't or she would have vented to him) its going to be a point of contention forever. |

For example, the husband would prefer to see his family at least once a month. The wife isn't wild about his family. Maybe they settle on six times a year. Maybe the husband occasionally visits his family without his wife. The time that the couple spends with her family would also factor into the compromise. Mature people that respect the desires, needs and boundaries of the other can work thinks out if their expectations aren't completely at odds (eg. he wants to spend every weekend with his family and she never wants to see them again). |

some people talk shit to each other about stuff and just laugh ... it's all good. but apparently she didn't talk to him about it all she is just being a snarky bitch BEHIND HIS BACK not only will it be in the back of his mind each time she is around his family but each time he is around her family he is going to wonder what else they have been talking shit about. 2 completely different things 1. Not liking your in-laws 2. Not liking your in-laws and talking shit about them with someone other than your fiancee/spouse and you can BET YOUR ASS that if he bring it up that she will flip-the-script and get angry at him about reading her texts and use all sorts of girl tricks during the following argument. He will be lucky to know what day it is after that fight.
