Today, my husband showed up late to my mother's funeral. He swaggered in, happily finishing off a half-eaten taco. His excuse for why he was so cheerful: "She was an in-law, honey." Good to know I married a piece of shit in disguise. FML

It always makes me sad to see how little respect some people pay to their spouse and spouse's family.

There's nothing else to be said here than seriously reconsider you relationship with him, if not leae him altogether. Your mother, a huge part of your childhood and life, a true bond and a shoulder to hold yourself up on, passed away. His reaction was to non-chalantly turn up late, with a spring in his step, almost relishing her death as a side-dish for his taco and fully aware of the contrast between his cheerfulness and douchebaggery, and this day of mourning. I don't think he has a shred of humanity or decency, and probably not a lot of love for you or your family for him to be able to do that. Get rid of this asshole.

I don't see the "in disguise" part. He's just a piece of shit. And while I'm reluctant to jump on the "dump him" bandwagon, anyone who waltzes late into the funeral of his wife's mom and cheerfully says "she was an in-law" deserves to be dumped. Even if he didn't like your mom, he can at least try to be supportive of you in your moment of grief.

From what I've just read, it's not a very good disguise.

A man is like a deck of cards, you need a heart to love him, a diamond to marry him, a club to bash his head in, and a spade to bury the bastard. Take this and use it as you will. But on a serious note, that's horrible. A very heartless thing to do. I'm so sorry, hun, for your loss and your husband's douchebaggery. Just stay strong!

Sorry OP. It shouldn't matter if he hated your mother with every fiber of his being, if he loved and respected you, he'd take your feelings into consideration. FYL indeed!

I just wanted to say that I am SO incredibly sorry to hear that your mom died. My mom and I have been best friends, just as close as you can get, my entire life, and she died in November. I know that nothing anyone says can make it better, but I hope that you allow yourself to grieve, and have good support, outside of your husband. It's always a shock to realize how damn unsensitive people can be in these situations... I'm so sorry he said that. Sorry for the long post, but I have one more thing to add- if you don't already have it, I would strongly suggest reading the book "Motherless Daughters", and if you have kids, Hope also wrote a book called "Motherless Mothers", which I plan to read soon. Anyhow, I wish you the very best in making it through this undescribable tragedy, and please know that you will be in my thoughts. Once again I am so sorry you are going through this, and I wish I could kick your husband in the shins! :-/ Take care hun.

At a funeral once every time someone said they'd pray for me, my ex told them to do something productive instead.

Wow what an ass. I hope your going to divorce him. No one should be treated the way he did to you.

Man, I know I'll be relieved when my crazy mil is gone, although I wouldn't show it to my spouse

Sorry for your losses, OP: of your mother, and of any last shred of decency your husband may have had.
