My MIL was born in France and French was her first language. she often acts confused when I try to speak to her and tries to play up that she can’t understand me. The best thing is she is a lawyer. She went to an Ivy League law school in the US, meets with clients, and speaks in front of the whole court but she wants me to believe that her English is bad. She called me ignorant and then was like “I don’t know these American terms” and stormed off.

Her law partner came over the other day, so of course she can speak English. I said to my husband that they have a fucking creepy relationship (I’ve seen this guy suck on her neck. It is weird as fuck) MIL said I was rude and I was like oh my god, you learned English, congratulations. She says I embarrassed her in front of her co worker (the guy who sucked on her neck) and my husband is all pissed because he is trying to con her into buying him a car.
