The nurse and her husband have been married for over 35 years, have welcomed children, and lived happily, all while the nurse’s mother-in-law has suffered in silence as she does not want to expose herself. After the nurse’s story was shared online, many commented that the sum would be worth nearly $80,000 in 2017 if the nurse had invested the money. One person said they wanted to high-five the nurse.

The same person advised others always to take the money offered and make the person who had offered it choke on it. Some people thought the nurse’s mother-in-law could have told people that she had asked for $10,000 compensation in exchange for leaving her fiancé, but others agreed it would still have made her look bad.

Although some questioned why the nurse’s mother-in-law would not blame it on the nurse because it would mean she paid the woman to break her son’s heart, others said the older woman had never cared about her son’s heart in the first place.

Many others talked about what they would have done with the money, with one person saying they would have put it in a joint account and told their husband that his mother had given it to them as a wedding present. The nurse’s story gained much attention, and many people shared their opinions on the woman’s mother-in-law and applauded her for having handled the situation so calmly and keeping the secret for so many years.

Unfortunately, many women experience issues with their mothers-in-law and have to depend on their partners to set the women straight. This was no different with a woman who received a nasty text from her husband’s mother.
