My MIL didn’t like me from the very beginning.In India, it is very common thing to have idiotic MILs but I am not a typical DIL type who would silently suffer in pain all life.I am married for 4.5 yrs now and have filed divorce 8 months back.My husband is a very simple , nice guy but has no voice of his own.He would remain silent every time his mother abused me.My MIL thinks she has a right to everyone’s business and definitely thinks she knows the best.She has been interfering in our personal life all these years.We were initially with them for a few months after marriage and then moved to another place.But that did not resolve my issues.My husband was completely brainwashed by his mother.He spent all his leisure time with her.He never showed any interest in me or our home.I finally took a stand and decided to move out of this.Meanwhile my husband got a job in the UK.Many of my friends suggested that if I accompany him, our life would be better as his parents will not have as much control as before because they will remain in India.However, I thought for long and realized that it is not a matter of going different places, it is about difference of opinion.My husband till date has no guts to tell his parents that he is fond of me and would like to be with me.He is scared he will offend them.Therefore I have decided to move on.Life may be very difficult for a divorced women in India but its worth taking a chance than to suffer a life of humiliation in silence.

My MIL is the exact same way. My husband is so scared of being disrespectful to his parents that its causing us to be horrible to one another. They have brainwashed him, and he is a mommas boy too and it stinks. I wish I could move on, but we have a one year old daughter and I don’t want her to go through what I did when i was growing up with my parents seperated
I think you made the right choice and Im sure he is just as silent in other aspects of your marriage. You sound like a tough cookie. You will be fine.
