Help! How do I deal with a mother in law who is controlling my life?
The main problem here is your husband. He’s supposed to listen to your concerns, not brush them off and claim his family is better or whatever it is. Your mother in law is obviously invading your space and your husband is letting it happen. It will only get worse with the coming of the grandchild. You need to set things clear with your husband. Your husband needs to decide who is he going to be loyal to, you (the family he chose) or his mother (the family he came from). He can’t be loyal to both because your needs clash. There can only be one main woman in a man’s life, when he gets married, the mother takes second seat. If you don’t fix this problem, good luck with your marriage. You will find yourself extremely frustrated and anxious about this matter more and more with time.
