I have been dating this guy four months. We got along well until a girl in one of our university classes started pushing herself on him, asking to see his notes, and touching his stuff while sitting beside him. I am also in the class, but don’t sit with him because I like to sit in the front of the lecture hall and he prefers the very back.

She knows I am the girlfriend because he waits after class to walk me to my next class. Originally I didn’t want to make a big deal out of it, but I did give her mean looks when she talked to him. She didn’t care. She just stared back with a blank face.

I got so mad I stopped talking to my boyfriend. He says they are just friends and she has a boyfriend. I don’t believe that. I mean, why would she act that way if she has a boyfriend? Also, if he isn’t interested, why would he let her do it? What should I do?

On our wedding day, my mother-in-law insisted she had to see me before the ceremony. I had already finished my hair and makeup and was about to walk down the aisle. She proceeded to take lipstick out of her purse and apply it to my face. She said she didn’t want a pale face standing up next to her handsome son at the altar.

That was just the beginning. She always feels she is in the right, and she must outdo everyone in every situation. Her husband left her not long after our wedding and needless to say my husband, her only son, had to pick up the pieces. I don’t mind him helping her or fixing this or that, but he has to be at her beck and call day and night.

Recently my mother-in-law approached me and asked if my daughter would be getting a job when she turns 15 in June. I looked at her and said, “She will only be 13 this June.” She had the nerve to stand and argue with me at my place of employment about how old my daughter is, claiming I was in denial about my children growing up.
