My mother in law is breaking up my marriage! What do I do?
Monday, November 16th, 2009My husband and I have been married for almost a year, I’m 19 and he’s 20. His mother has had it out for me since the day she met me. I apparently wasn’t friendly enough so from that day on she decided to make my life a living heck. Four months into our marriage she decided to break up with her boyfriend and move into the downstairs apartment of our duplex home. We were forced to move upstairs. From that day on war began, every single day since she had moved in she was telling my husband new reasons why he should divorce me. She would use racial slurs, obscene names, and so on to get her point across. My husband has been gone for two months to BCT, (army) and I have had to deal with this woman everyday. She has told my husband I’ve been cheating on him, which I haven’t, and even has gone so far as to start a petition to get me kicked out of my neighborhood! I havent done nothing to this woman and my husband REFUSES to stand up for me. He’s a complete Mommy’s boy. Should I just move on?!
And when I say move on should I just get a divorce and move on with my life? I love my husband more than anything but I can’t stand another day with him putting his mother before me. I have tried to hard to get along with her but everyday she finds new reasons to hate me. I don’t want to seem weak but I also don’t want to go on unhappy with my own marriage. Even my friends mother told me that it looked like the life has been sucked out of me and I wasn’t the same person I used to be. I have tried to talk to my husband about this but he has told me man y times he doesn’t care and refuses to confront his mother. I don’t feel it’s selfish of me to ask him to put me first but he apparently does. What do I do?!
move on
your husband should stand behind his wife yet love his mother.
sounds like he and his mom should take there vows.
