I am from india. My husband is the only child of his parents. He worships them like anything. We got married because they could not say no to their son otherwise they were not fond of me. He is working at a very good position in the public sector. We are living away from them bcoz of his postings, but they visit us twice in a year for about one month each.
this time is really worst for me in the year. she keeps nagging, interfering, pointing out mistakes as soon as she sees me. and my father in law also joins. Issues vary from the improper maintenance of the house, my inability to manage the workers in my house, i am not strict enough, i did not deserve to get such a good husband without dowry,my parents did not give good values to me, they did not teach me to…

My FMIL feels the need to plan my casual outdoor summer wedding, into a formal, elegant, summer wedding. My mother and a few of my family members are taking care of this wedding and the plans, so I am as stress free as possible. My fiance is in the Army, so dealing with that is hard enough. I thank my family greatly for doing this, but my FMIL is killing me with all of these suggestions about how to make my wedding more formal. I can’t tell her no because we are finally “getting along”. My mother tells me she will take care of it, but I’m afraid it’ll ruin the “relationship” we’ve created. I am a young BTB *Only 18* And I have no clue how to tell her to back off and only worry about the rehersal dinner….WHAT DO I DO?!?!?!?!

First of all, I am from Asia and I am single, but I would like to share 2 shocking observation I had encountered regarding a MIL and DIL.

First, I don’t know about the beliefs of other countries, but there is a belief in my country that an infertile woman may become fertile through womb massage done by chiropractors. Now there was a well known chiropractor from Taiwan who visited my country. Quite a number of patients visited him, (I was one of them because of my recurring stiff neck), including women who wanted to conceive. Whilst I was waiting, the secretary called a woman in to see the chiropractor. She was accompanied by her MIL. I noticed that she arrived not so long ago and was still panting. And because she seemed tired and was wearing high heels, she wasn’t able to stand up immediately to get inside the chiropractor’s…

I know I said there were many stories to come and I just hope this helps other people out there realize they are not alone. After several months of dating her son, I was invited to come to the beach with the family for the weekend. I graciously accepted and made sure to go out of my way to bring food and wine (her favorite meal of the day). We went to the beach and brought all of HER things including her coolers full of wine and appetizers, all he creams and potions and of course two wigs just in case.
We were all seated on the beach she had her glass of wine that her servant husband poured for her as always, and they decided to move closer to the water. My boyfriend and I stayed where we were in order to watch all the bags and coolers etc. Mark…

Hi Girls, I am new to the forum, but wanted to give everyone out there hope that what goes around comes around.

For 3 years I have had the MIL from Hell, she ruined my wedding day, interfered in my marriage from beginning, I had to wait on her hand and foot, in the house, whilst she put me down day in day out until I had a nervous breakdown.

My husband took her side in everything. He could never see anything wrong in her. He lavished jewels on her really expensive stuff he even bought her expensive jewellery for the wedding day and not me his bride! I could hear people joking at the reception He married the wrong woman.

For 33 years he paid for her and every whim, paid for her phone, her clothes holidays the lot. Me I had to pay for half of everything. My son and I…

My partner and I live in a different country than my partner’s parents. There is a damn good reason for this – they’re completely bonkers.

Now, the in-laws used to work for an airline, so they fly out at least once a year. In the past, this hasn’t caused too much drama – they usually stayed with other relatives in town, as we’ve always lived in flats that didn’t have enough room for guests. We’d just see them a couple of times, maybe go out for dinner or what have you. Well, we have since moved into a house with my partner’s little sister, so we decided that we had enough room for my mother-in-law to stay at our place.

She arrived a week from Saturday. That was fine. Since that Monday was a public holiday, we had a lovely long weekend, going around and doing stuff. But on the week, we…
