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.

OP, you should have stuffed the frickin taco down his throat so he choked on it, and left him in his car... I'm sure everyone at the funeral would have backed you up when his body was found... the guys an asshat.

Wow I can't even begin to describe the level of insensitivity of your husband, but on top of that he seems really really stupid. What did he expect by showing up late and in a good mood? That you’d rejoice at his cheerfulness and ask for a bite of his taco? That would make me question this relationship.

'in disguise'. You never know who you marry, ever. People change when they get married, you might think you know everything about someone but you don't. My (relative's) first husband was apparently a loving, caring boyfriend - as soon as they were married he turns into a serial cheat and a wife beater. The second husband turns out to be a paedophile. Plus have you ever heard of 'once you're married the sex stops'? A lot of women withhold sex altogether because they don't need to do it anymore cause they 'caught their man'.

Honesty in a relationship is a must. However, there are times, such as this, when you need to just keep your mouth shut and be supportive despite any negative feelings you may be harboring. He obviously despises his MIL. He may even have a good reason for that, and he is entitled to not like her. But that's where the entitlement should stop! There is absolutely no excuse for his contemptuous behavior! His 'honesty' does not excuse his complete lack of respect, and I would go as far as to say that he even lacks love, for his own wife. Also, I don't know if you're married and have in-laws or not. If you do, they must be pretty terrible for you to have such a negative attitude towards all in-laws. Not all of them are 'pieces of crap'. I do understand that there are some pretty terrible in-laws out there, but I am very blessed to have the best in-laws that I could ever have hoped for.

I think it's especially sad that he couldn't set aside his feelings, whatever they might be, and support you at what must be a horrible time for you. I'm sorry for your loss, OP

There is not enough profanity in the world to communicate what a twonk your husband is.
