My mother-in-law told me several years after we were married that our wedding day was the worst trip she has ever had. She told me I have hair that looks like I have trouble with, that because we have 4 children and I don’t work I have to stay married, that her grandson will always be more special and close than other grandchildren, etc. She sent me a card in the mail telling me that I had a wonderful husband and children that I did not deserve and she understands why my brothers don’t talk to me. I was sexually abused by 2 of my brothers and am not interested in seeing them. She was sucessful in causing the divorce of her other son so she could have him all to herself, yes they vacation together and possibly live together now. Very very weird.
The sadest part for me now is…

My boyfriend and I have been together almost two years, and have talked about marriage a lot lately, which excites me until his mother gets involved. She is a very sweet lady, BUT sometimes I feel like I’m the other woman, and my boyfriend and her are married. She calls him 5-12 times a day, just to say hi, or see whats going on. I can understand once or twice, but it gets to the point where there is no point for the phone calls, but she just needs to call!
She called us one day when we were grocery shopping to tell us about the ad she found in the paper…that’s all she said. She found an ad in the paper! Come on. What is the point? It didn’t pertain to grocery shopping, and she never said what the ad was for!
She is almost addicted to him, there is a…

I apologize in advance for this being so long!

My boyfriend is the sweetest man on the planet. He is easy-going, energetic, kind to everyone, loves to play guitar and cares for me! But he also has no backbone and lets his mother get the best of him. I don’t want to leave him but his mother…I knew she was a cold person to begin with, but I never imagined the lengths she would go to sabotage everything and keep her son to herself.

My boyfriend’s father died when he was 8 years old. Since his father passed the mother has had to fulfill the role of both parents. My father left when I was 2 years old and I completely understand, through my mother, of what a single parent deals with. I feel very sorry for his mother to be widowed and not be able to move on, but she is…

Joint accounts

I recently found out about something deeply disturbing. The rent check went through the day before payday, so my husband’s bank account was a few hundred dollars in the red. Nothing dramatic, the money would be there the day after and he’d pay a few dollars in late fees. Lesson learned. But as soon as he found out, his cellphone rang. It was his mother going ballistic on him: “You are out of money! I knew you guys were too young to get married! I guess I’ll have to clear out the workout room for you guys to move back here!” Wait a minute… how did she know? It turns out that my husband’s personal bank account is actually a joint account with his mother. He’s had the same one since he was 8, it was the kind of bank account they make you open when you are in elementary…

My future MIL is great, she helps out in so many ways (my fh works away from home). However, at times, she sticks her nose in a little too much. It’s by far the worst situation, but I’m a control freak & I like things done my way.

My fh is a real mummy’s boy, and the last thing I wish to do is come between them, or put him in the middle of sorting out a difference of opinion.

My fh and I don’t live together yet as we’re looking to move to a bigger place first. My flat is not all that big for me, my 3 year old daughter, and our son due in September. My fh doesn’t have a lot of stuff exactly, but he does have stuff that had accumulated here, such as clothes, ornaments etc. that I struggle to find space for. In the end, my…

Never Again!

My husband of less than six months and I are in serious marital trouble because of his Mama’s Boy ways.

Don’t get me wrong, his dad and stepmother are jerks too – especially daddy. They love to critique my cooking and give me unwanted diet and weight loss advice. But it’s mommy dearest who truly holds DH’s heart.

I knew he was a Mama’s Boy from the get go – only son, single at almost 40, bending over backwards for mommy whenever she crooked her shriveled little finger. But I though I could handle it…au contraire….

It’s bad enough our entire wedding was dictated by this psycho (anytime I tried to veto one of her asinine ideas, my loving then fiance would freak out because it would “hurt her feelings.”) Now she dictates our married lives, GAH!

I’ve reached the point where I completely ignore her and her crazy emails and I actually refused…

I met her a handful of time as we both are from different states about 3 hours away. We’ve been dating for approximately 3 1/2 years now and I am currently 5 months pregnant.

She has done everything for him – he doesnt know how to do the simplest things such as writing an envelope, going shopping, ordering a pizza, balancing his checkbook etc. She drives him around like a 2 year old and orders his food when they go out (he tried to get me to order for him but I put my foot down). He pays ALL their bills because he doesnt want them to lose their house which is HUGE and refuses to move in with me because of that – so he says. Wanted me to get an abortion because somehow a developing fetus will make them lose their house too.. hmm..

Since he has told them I’m…
