Elizabeth Figueroa+FollowMy Husband, the Poor MessengerI’ve realized that my husband is the main reason for some of the conflicts between me and my mother-in-law—his communication skills are just too lacking. For example, my mother-in-law once mentioned that I’ve been busy with work and sometimes can’t wash my clothes on time. She asked him to check if I needed her help. But instead of relaying the message properly, he told me, “Mom said you’re not washing your clothes, so she’s going to do it for you.” This kind of miscommunication really frustrates me. It’s not just about the words—it’s about how they’re delivered. A little tact and understanding could make such a big difference. Has anyone else dealt with a husband who struggles with this? How do you handle it? #MarriageLife #CommunicationIssues #FamilyDynamics #HusbandResponsibility #Miscommunication50Share
Elizabeth Figueroa+FollowThe Secret to Solving Mother-in-Law IssuesWant to solve mother-in-law issues? Here's the only way: the husband must always firmly stand by his wife. Let's be real—there's no such thing as inherent mother-in-law/daughter-in-law conflict. It's just husbands who don't want to upset either their mom or their wife, so they avoid the issue and leave the two women to deal with it themselves. But remember, these two women only know each other because of you. As the husband, it's your responsibility to step up. Have private disagreements with your wife if needed, but in front of your parents, always defend her dignity and face. Why? Because your parents will always forgive you, but they may not forgive your wife. If someone has to be the "bad guy," it should be you. #MarriageTips #FamilyDynamics #MotherInLawAdvice #HusbandResponsibility #RelationshipAdvice121Share
