We’ve been married for a year, but my overbearing MIL, who lives with us, is a huge problem. She calls my husband every single day at work, sometimes more than once, and cares for him like a baby.
At first, I brushed it off. I get it, moms love their sons. But it quickly became clear she didn’t just miss him, she didn’t trust me.
She criticizes everything I do. My cooking, how I keep the house, how we spend our money.
Once, she even implied I might be a gold-digger. That stung. I work full-time and have always pulled my weight. But to her, I was never “good enough” for her son.
Then things went too far.
Recently, my MIL crossed all limits when she got the nerve to show up with a woman who claimed to be my husband’s ex…and said she was pregnant.
Then my MIL said something that made my blood boil: “I thought you two should get to know each other.” I was speechless. Angry. Confused.
I couldn’t believe what was happening. My MIL brought my husband’s ex to my house. Not only that, but this woman claimed she was pregnant, heavily implying it might be his baby.
