Look in mirror

They say a man often choses a wife that resembles his mother -- so perhaps you had better look in the mirror. She is not undermining you at all. I think you have somewhat of a self esteem and control issue. I miss my MIL from my divorce as she was my best friend and when her son did me wrong, although it is hard I understand why she chose not to remain close. It was not because she chose him over me but more she loved me enough to let go so he would stop bugging me and put my life through chaos time and time again. Anyway, chill out, it could be worse.

Maybe he could put in a one-way mirror.
Maybe online confessions will take off...

If I looked in the mirror too much . . .
I would see the devil. Yep, my mom was very religious. I actually didn't believe it. As a curious child I would stare into the mirror because I wanted to see him -never happened.

did you put the mirror on the wrong way?
the mirror should be outside and the birds see themselves. When I was at the store you could see the birds perfectly.

easier to blame you than look in the mirror!

At my last in-house job I had a rear-view mirror
I kid you not. My work station was situated so my back was to the door and I'm like you - when I am concentrating on something I get startled very easily. But usually I would catch a flicker of movement in the mirror and look over so people couldn't sneak up on me. In fact, people who didn't know the mirror was there were really surprised when I said hello to them without even turning around!
