I am about to lose my marriage just because of my MIL. Kindly advise and share your opinions on this!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I always imagined that marriage is mainly about two people only. Instead, I got what I got. My husband\u2019s mom is always around. Especially when we make more or less serious decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What car to buy? He calls her. Redecorating? We can\u2019t do that without her approval. Last time, she shook her head at my choices and decided for us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The breaking point came at a family dinner last week. My MIL frowned and said, \u201cWhy didn\u2019t you talk to me before you started trying for a baby? I could have given you so many good tips. Do you know the secret of having a boy, for example?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I stared at her, stunned, but my husband just nodded like this was normal. I lost it. I asked him, \u201cWhy is your mom involved in every decision we make? Why don\u2019t you go ask her how to make a baby, then?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
His mom got in. She said it wasn\u2019t a big deal because we\u2019re a family. She means only well for us, and I shouldn\u2019t overreact. My husband kept silent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I really couldn\u2019t take it anymore. I just stood up and left for my room. That\u2019s when I noticed a new photo of him and his mother lying on his nightstand. I literally choked when I saw a text, \u201cI can have many wives, but there is only one mother.\u201d Ha-ha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I really couldn\u2019t believe what I was seeing. Was I competing for his attention with his mom?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When he came to me, I told him I needed time. I couldn\u2019t keep living in a relationship where his mom had more say than I did. Where his mom seems to be the priority. I told him to leave for now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I don\u2019t know what to do next, but I can\u2019t stay with him while he\u2019s still under her control. Please help.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
