Said it indicated a "lack of character." Not much you can do with that, really. Friend and I are still friends, 54 years and going strong.

I had a great M-I-L, but one of my sisters-in-law is a total dragon to the wife of one of her sons, and I have always backed the young woman up because the dragon's reasons for not liking her are totally irrational (once the old lady was angry because the girl was not ecstatic to get a ratty old grocery bag of her discarded clothing). <br /><br />Once you get it that there's probably little you can do to change his mind, it gets easier.
