Today, I overheard my wife telling my mother-in-law I was diagnosed with a learning disability earlier this week. She replied, "I always knew he was a retard. Why did you ever marry that idiot?" All my wife did was mutter "I don't know." FML

That's not right, your wife should've stuck up for you. Just because you have a learning disability doesn't mean you're a lesser person or a lesser husband. It just means your brain is wired a little different and that's okay.

It sounds like your wife and mother in law should be diagnosed with a mental bitch ability. FYL OP

What could've happened was she so surprised at her mom's reaction that she didn't know what to say, or said it out of habit. Another possibility could be her mom gets upset or very angry fast, and didn't want her to be upset and said that. (Maybe the mom has anger problems and she doesn't want it to cause problems within your marriage.) Not saying I'm right, but stating other possibilities. These might not be right, or maybe they are, but we don't know the whole story and seems OP doesn't quite either.

I'm sorry, but this stinks of falseness. If you're already married, you're at least in high school (or, hopefully, out of college). Why are you only finding out NOW that you have a learning disability?

What a C.U.N.T, I would be gone. My brother has a learning disability (dyslexia) and is really successful. If my girlfriend's family called him a retard they would be apologizing or they wouldn't be welcome at my house.

Brother man, that's when you hand her the divorce paper signed and ready to go. Shyt, I wish my wife would say something like that about me to her mother, I'd divorce her in a heartbeat...

Learning disability does NOT mean retarded! Albert Einstin had Autism, for pete's sake! Tell them that, and that'll shut them up!

next time you overhear your bitch mother in law asking your wife why she married you, just butt in and say "because i treat her with respect, a concept you clearly have no understanding of", or just say "because i have a massive **** and know how to please her with it"

I feel the love. Your wife should have defended you, but instead went along with her shitty mother. Either try to talk things out with her, or maybe just leave. She obviously doesn't have the same feelings toward you that you have toward her. Learning disabilities are nowhere near the same thing as being mentally challenged. That's rude and completely unfair of the both of them.
