Do you relate with these problems?
A daughter-in-law and a mother-in-law relationship can be a very complicated one. Some manage to have a healthy relationship whereas most women complain about the mother of their partner. We spoke to a few daughters-in-law who shared with us why they despise their MILs. Do you experience the same? Do let us know in the comments section.
My MIL had “warned” my husband before marriage
We had a love marriage when I was just 24. I'm usually a very accommodating person who's had great relations with middle-aged women of all ages everywhere, so I just assumed that things would be great between me & my MIL. Still, from the very first day her cold strange behaviour towards me put me off. At first, I didn't even notice that but in the first innocent marriage fight, my hubby and I had after 1st month of marriage my husband told me something that scarred me for the rest of my life. He said, “see I made a mistake in marrying you, my mother had so warned me”. I was dumbfounded.
When I pressed him further, he admitted that his mother was dead against our marriage and tried to prevent her son by employing all kinds of tricks and emotional blackmail. When I looked back at the wedding albums of the rituals at his house, she looks like a mourner in every single one. This naturally made me apprehensive about her. Still, I tried to put all that behind me & wanted to share a cordial relationship. But whenever I called she kept the conversations really brief & disconnected abruptly many times. She is such a toxic woman, I hate her from the bottom of my heart.
“She & my spineless husband are the reason why we are divorced”
My husband remained a dumb spectator at home. Not even once he supported me. He would never stand up for me. She would expect every household work to be done by me. I had made an entire list of what all happened in that hell hole!
She would never allow me to cook for my husband. She never brought veggies which she doesn't like, but I was forced to eat everything.
I could not go out on weekends without my husband but my husband could go out on trips with his friends.
I could not wear what I liked. On every occasion, I was forced to dress according to her wish. Else she would pick up a fight with me.
If my mom sent any snack, she would never touch it. She would find the time when I am not home and throw it away. In case my husband asks for it, she would say it is not healthy. But when she prepared the same, he must eat it.
There were so many more but my heart just aches that I experienced that nonsense for 2 years.
“She oversteps”
I hate her because she's loud, meddling, and oversteps her boundaries with no regard for how everyone else around her resents her for it. She even opens my wardrobes in my absence and once I saw her going through my purse. She breathes down my neck all the time. She tries to check my phone, know who am I talking to and if I am even 5 minutes late from the office, her investigation begins whereas my husband does not question me for these petty things. It has become too much and I resent her now.
“We had mutual hatred”
Mine was terrible to me. I think she hated me as much as I hated her. She was so nosy. She had to know everything that was going on between us. Also, she wanted to know what her son had for breakfast that morning, lunch and dinner. Every day of the week I would hear this from her. She would ask him how much he had to spend for electricity this month, also groceries and gas to go to work that week. I made sure we shifted to another country, worked hard to get a transfer, and convince my husband. She still tries…
