O/T kinda - MILs birthday

So today is FMILs birthday, we had plans to go to BFs parents (theyre still together 45+ years) to celebrate her birthday. FMIL told me specifically that she didnt want anything and all she wanted was for the family to get together. Today when BF came home with the skids, SD7 came in our house with a bouquet of flowers with a card and some chocolates. She then informed me they were for her grandmas birthday from her mom (BM)

Seriously?! I don't get FMIL anything because she asked me not to get her anything yet BM gets her this stuff?! As if that didn't bother me enough FMIL decides to text to tell her how thankful she was. I saw the text BM sent FMIL it said 'you're most welcome!!! Love you and miss you! Happy birthday!'

So here we are sitting at the dinner table with the flowers BM gave FMIL as the 'centerpiece'. I'm fuming trying to talk across and over these disgusting gas station smelling flowers. WTF?!?!

Fortunately FBIL caught onto how I felt and the situation and placed the flowers off the table and onto the Buffett and left a pizza box open in front of it so nobody could see them. Especially me. Honestly, I'm baffled, is BM doing this JUST to fuck with me?!

I can certainly understand how that feels. And I'm sorry you're going through it. I go through this same stuff except it's back and forth between BM and fMIL. I've already told my fiancé that I'm not sure our relationship is repairable at this point. He says he has my back no matter what. I will say after we became engaged a month ago, fDH sat down with his Mom and finally explained all the BS that BM has put us through. That has helped a lot. It's a step in the right direction.
