Hi... These kind of situations are very complex and sometimes loosing on some matters help us win bigger goals. Marriage, especially in India is a complex Web of social, emotional, financial and personal relationships. Where everyone has suffered at one point of time and gained a lot of support, most of which we hardly acknowledge. Now since we are still in a transition phase as a society our expectations are a strange mix of Indian and Western values. In your particular case I will suggest you to start reconciliation with your MIL. We all have good and bad sides to our personality and our behaviour depends upon our perception of the other person and the situation. Doing this may not immediately change her behaviour towards you but there are other stakeholders in the family who are also witnessing what is happening and they are most likely to witness your efforts. Most importantly, your husband will also witness it eventually and your relationship with him will get better. Remember, your efforts has to be genuine and consistent. You don't need to overdo things but you need to give her the respect of her social status (MIL).
