Painfully awkward.
A man's mother-in-law has caused outrage online after it was revealed she has an uncomfortable crush on him.
The woman caused the stir after it came to light on reddit that she was stealing X-rated photos of her son-in-law, storing them on her phone and refusing to delete them.
The husband took to Reddit to ask for advice about how to handle the extremely creepy situation, saying he feels “violated” by the whole thing.
“MiL has had the hots for me since she met me. It’s creepy. I’ve spoken to her about being uncomfortable and so has my wife. It seemed to have died down and we put it down to an unfortunate crush,” he wrote.
The perhaps innocent crush turned a little more sinister however when the man's wife was visiting her mother.
When the daughter was in the bathroom, the mother snooped through her phone, transferring some naked photos of the man to her own phone.
The wife confronted her mother when she realised what had happened, but the woman refused to delete the photos, not understanding why she was so angry.
“My wife and I have a few weird fetishes and so some of the photos I took that are for her eyes only are really humiliating if seen by people who aren’t my wife,” the man wrote.
“My wife is really on my side and supporting me but MiL sent her a message asking why she’s cross about it. It’s just a picture. I’m so mad.”

Social media users were furious at the mother, urging him to out her to the family.
“You have every single right to be pissed and to feel violated. I’d never speak to her again personally,” one person said.
“She’s a horrible person for violating your privacy,” another wrote.
Others slammed her as “pervy” and “gross”.
