I'm always of the opinion that you shouldn't have to confront your soon to be mother in law, that your finance should be the liason between the two. I think she should be able to understand that this hurts you and try to get things worked out with her mum. I think that anything you did, like trying to have a talk with the MIL would only cause future problems. I am not in any position to offer advice on the situation I suppose, I'm single and have never been engaged. I just know that if my mum was talking shit about my boyfriend/fiance/husband, I would want to be the one to work things out. I've heard so many horror stories of in law problems, and I hope that things work out for you. I think the MIL may just be jealous that she's losing her daughter in some way too. If she still lives with her parents, maybe she is having trouble dealing with her daughter moving out. I really don't know though, some people are just bitchy. I say you need to have a heart to heart with your fiance about everything. Keep us posted.
