How can I tell if my mother in law likes me?

Sounds like you'd like to have a closer relationship with your mother in law. Do the two of you ever get to spend time together? If so tell me about those experiences.

It will be obvious. She will make effort to have conversations with you, she will invite you along to family occasions, you will feel like a part of the family

In a serious low energy situation, try to tell her how you feel about her and your spouse. This may prompt her to tell you how she feels about you. If it doesn't, just observe her reaction when you talk about yourself. Of course, you could also ask her about it in a similar situation.

The best thing you can do is ask! I'm sure if she likes you, she will definitely tell you so. If not, you are one step closer to talking things through and finding a common ground to repair any issues that may be present in your relationship. She will likely respect you for wanting to grow a stronger relationship with her. Best of luck.

You can probably tell your mother in law likes you by her body language. The best way to know your mother in law likes you is to have conversations with her. If she is able to have kind conversations with you about anything then she probably likes you.

Mothers in law can be intimidating just thinking about what can go wrong with them. Its okay. First of all, try not be over nice and be yourself, most of all. You can ask your partner to talk with their mother about you to have a clear idea or watch out for her expressions and whatever she says when she is around you. Mothers in law won't hide their feelings too much, because it's basically about their kid's happiness. If something's off, you'll probably know.

Well if she treats you like part of the family and she includes you in situation that are great and bad and having trust and gives you the respect you need

well, you can speak with her, interact with her, like any other human. if she likes you, she'll respond favorably and naturally towards you, perhaps. again, like any other human.

Have you ever tried partaking in an activity with her? Maybe that will help you two talk to one another. Yet, has she ever given you a reason to suspect that she doesn't like you? If so, how?

Normally, you can get a general idea of if someone likes you through the way they talk to you or the way they treat you. If they seem cut off from you or seem to act differently (more negatively) around you than others, maybe this could be a sign of dislike.
