A Scottish man revealed his unique strategy for dealing with his interfering mother-in-law: reverting to his strong Glaswegian accent, which she struggles to understand. He claims his mother-in-law, Susan, constantly meddles in his seven-year marriage and accuses him of infidelity. He adopted the accent to prevent her from eavesdropping on his conversations, though his wife urges him to stop due to her mother's complaints.
A Scottish dad has confessed to using his Glaswegian accent as a secret weapon against his nosey English mother-in-law.
He stated: "I have been married to my wife for seven years. Things have been going downhill for years though, we are literally only together for the sake of our son. Most of the issues that led to the downfall of our relationship can be traced back to her mum, Susan." The man went on to describe how his mother-in-law is 'vindictive', even announcing their pregnancy on Facebook without their consent and frequently accusing him of infidelity, reports the Daily Record. In a Reddit post, he explained that he was raised in Glasgow and has a strong accent, which he has tried to moderate for better understanding.
"Naturally, Susan doesn't like this and has been accusing me of trying to alienate her. My wife has tried to get me to stop literally just so her mum will stop complaining.
