Okay Storytime podcast hosts.

And we have some rocking stories for you coming up.

But before you rock out with your socks out,

we got a quick two-minute ad break from a sponsors keeping the show rocking and rolling.

This is an I-Heart podcast.

Guaranteed human.

I banned my mother-in-law because she's turning me into my husband's enemy.

Oh no, not pitting them against each other.

Hi, I'm a 35-year-old woman, and I've been with my husband, 32, since college.

I met in 2019, and he quickly became my best friend.

He was caring, attentive, funny, supportive, honestly, just a great person overall.

Of course, neither of us is perfect, but he had so many qualities I admired and still do.

By the way, this comes from user slash no mill brackets.

No underscore mill.

Send them in. We started as close friends and eventually became friends with benefit. I wasn't ready for a relationship back then. I was scared.

Interestingly, now my mother-in-law was one of the few people who knew about our situation, and she was always welcoming. She would invite us to visit her often, even though she lived nearly two hours away. I would usually drive since my husband didn't have a car at the time. I loved spending time with her. She was sweet, helpful, and we bonded like I never thought possible. She helped me prepare for interviews, we had long girl talks,

and I honestly thought she was the best mother-in-law I could have asked for.

I've always loved my own mom, but we're not very close.
