Mother-in-Law HELL

First and foremost, I am so glad I found this website.
I am one of the first of my peers to be engaged and without parents to ask for advice, this site is a huge help.

This story is slightly complex so will keep to the essentials.

Since literally a young child of 7 I have wanted to convert to Judaism but I wasn’t sure if I could actually take the plunge without someone by my side to live that life with.

In November 2008 I found the one for me and he is wonderful.
Sticks up for me, understands me and puts up with my demented moods, has promised to take care of me no matter what.

So where is the problem I hear you all ask?

HIS MOTHER.

She has objected since day one that I am not yet Jewish, has asked him what skin colour I am and if our children would come out black…

My boyfriend and I have been dating for two years and he asked me to marry him, but when his mother felt that perhaps we were too young, she asked him to call it off right there and then or else. So what does he do? Nothing. Weeks later, after the nagging had got to him for his mother, he finally caved in. We’re young, I understand, but she feels like she has to guide our relationship although she had been divorced and married three times. She interferes with our anniversaries, telling my boyfriend not to buy presents and he listens to her odd excuse not to as well as lectures me on how horrible a person I am and how I should act more like her. Just yesterday, She was dropping me off at an appointment with my father and boyfriend in the car saying that I was an…

Me and my fiance are to be married in June and my mother in law to be is an awful person. Everything started out great when we first got together, though. I had known her for 5 years since she was my hair dresser and I did not know that she had a son until we got together. For the first year we were together nothing seemed to have changed. She was being as nice as she always was.

I was working at an Olive garden at the time that I developed a rare esophageal disorder that caused me to not be able to eat. Needless to say I could not work anymore without passing out and my fiance urged me to quit my job, so I quit. That next week she is all on me about job offers and places where I could apply and I tried to explain to…

Hello,

My boyfriend and I have been together for 2 years now. I am 23 and he is 27. We have been wanting to get married for a while now.

I am having some problems with the in-laws, like everyone it seems. I have visited his family for a total of three times thus far. For the whole three visits they treated me well, were very nice to me and wanted to get to know me. Not until the last visit did I really find out that his mother never really liked me in the first place. Which really upset me because I had no idea what I did wrong! And I hate it when people talk about you “behind your back”.
Well my boyfriend told me the reasons after he talked to her over the phone. And I was kind of surprised because the reasons to me were not very problematic.

One of…

I wrote a couple of days ago, and you ladies gave me great advice. Some of you asked if my FH defends me. Yes he does, however he has had enough of this too, even though its killing me, he is telling me not to let it bother me. But he does defend me. I wrote in about how my FMIL ignores me and her idol is my FBIL’s gf. Well the latest drama is, a few months back gf talked shit about me behind my back, and she says to me we are all entitled to our opinions, so I said ok in that case I think your fake. And OMG did that open a can of worms, she went crying and crying to FMIL and I got so much crap for it! So anyways on recently facebook, gf did one of those quizzes and in the end of…

My fiance and I just got engaged recently. We had wanted to get engaged 6 months ago, but decided to wait, since his family was convinced he wasn’t ready yet…his mother was extremely meddlesome at the time…we put up for it for several months..we even had a confrontation about it (she forced me into her house and made me talk to her and her husband about marriage).We even ended up breaking up for a little while. We got back together and even secretly dated again until we knew she knew we were dating again…and stopped hiding it. Since we dropped the idea of marriage for a long time, the meddling stopped, however I avoided her house as much as possible. I am sure she could tell I felt uncomfortable around her. She is extremely controling, manipulative, domineering, opinionated, pushy, and almost seems like she has some sort of personality disorder.…
