My self rajinder living in chandigarh and my wife is from Amabala. My mother in law makes my life hell, she always interfere in my life. My wife is the one of the foolest woman in world, She tell her mother little little things about my house. She always pump my wife how to make enviorment hell in house. I am totally furstarated. I have ha 2 months baby boy. One day my mother inlaw call my father to send her daughter to amabala for 15 days, but i have not given permission to my wife to go ambala. My wife call her mother and she took my wife and my little baby to ambala, After then they are targeting my mother that her behavior is not good and they will not send their daugter to chandigarh. She is saying that she will make home in amabala for her daughter, and she live lonely. My wife is totally mindwash by my motherinlaw, she thinks that her mother is doing good. After all these things happened i call my wife because i have to think of my little baby he was only 2 months, but her behavior was totally changed by her mother she abuse me and her mother also abuse me, i told her mother that dont interefere in our life, but she not hearing anybody.

I just happened to visit this website, as I was searching for resources for....yes.....son-in-laws having problems with their mother-in-laws! You heard it right. The internet is filled with websites and resources for problems between MILs and DILs. Their does not seem to be a single website anywhere in the world for Son-in-Laws having problems with their Mother-in-laws. Believe it or not. Such a thing exists. Just like how a few years ago people doubted whether domestic abuse could happen the other way around (wife beating the husband)!

I have the cunningest, most manipulative, scheming, problem-maker as my mother-in-law. The fact is both me and my wife hate her. But she always manages to get into our relationship some how and cause problems between us and also problems with other people. I cannot believe that such a person can exist, and cannot believe my misfortune that I had to end up with a woman like this as my MIL. She did not want this marriage to happen between me and her daughter, and now she is making everything possible to make our life miserable. How crazy! Because of family circumstances, it is impossible to get rid of her from our lives. We are trying and maybe soon we will. But till then we have to bear with her. The bitch.

This is no rant or moan. It is just to make the world aware that such things happen between son-in-laws and mother-in-laws too. I was disappointed that I could not find a single resource on the whole big endless resource called the internet, where I as a man could get some sort of advise/support from someone about how to deal with this situation. I feel stupid and embarassed to talk to my other mates about this, I feel crazy to approach anyone and mention if I could get any advise or support on how to avoid getting stressed about it and handle the situation calmly. But at the same time I have to bottle it all up and pretend everything is normal. I wish this blog catered for situations like mine!

I just got married 4 months ago and am having problems with my MIL. She was great while her son and I were dating, but now that we are married it's a different story. She made my husband and I fight before our wedding day, which made me not look forward to the actual wedding. It was not the happiest day of my life because of her desperate attempt to control various aspects of the wedding. Not only that, she made my mother cry... and she took things that didn't belong to her from the wedding (ie marriage certificate... I guess it was a hint she didn't want us married!). She never apologized, but insisted that it was the caterers fault. She ruined the memory of my wedding and my mom's memory of her only daughter's wedding.

Since then, she has told my best friend that she wishes that she was her daughter in law, and has tried to spy on my by getting as much information from my friends as possible. I told my husband who confronted his mom... and she denied the whole thing. My husband now thinks me and my friends are liars and wants to make trouble in the family.

Her recent thing was to give away my car without my knowledge. I had a second car that was parked at my husband's house, and she took the liberty to donate it to charity because it was an 'eyesore'. It was a classic car that needed a new tire and new paint job... it was worth over 5k in its condition. Now it's gone and my husband sides with his mom.

I've given up. I dont care anymore because my husband will always side with his mom... so I'll just bend over and take it. I will just vent on some blog rather than telling my husband because he doesn't understand how to 'leave and cleave'.

Wish me luck that I can last long!
