She's been with her girlfriend Susan Mikula for 13 years.

(22,000 posts)7. It could be that she's been with her partner for so long
She considers her partner's mother her mother-in-law whether they are married or not. I'm just speculating though.

Her partner is 52

their boyfriend/girlfriend's family in that way even if they aren't married.

... January 2011 Maddow used the phrase mother-in-law back then too.
