[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If he has self awareness and understands boundaries and enforces them, maybe you could make it work but i agree physical distance from mother would probably be better. You don't like his mother very much right? The past was what it was. It all depends on where his loyalty lies now, as an adult. My mil was a single mother and has horrible boundaries, lacks maturity, etc. But we live 4 hours from her and my boundaries protect myself from her bouts of horribleness. Occasionally my husband behaves like her, is clueless and sometimes oversteps a boundary. But it is not the norm and we talk about it and i feel he mostly gets it. How much do you live this guy? How well can he hear you? Only you can know. Deep down, you do.[/quote]

Oh I like her enough as a person. I don't know that I could handle her as a MIL, the whole boundaries thing. He would never live far away from her, he purposely bought a house that was roughly 14 minutes away.  He doesn't see the issues too him, it's just a close family, and to be honest I don't want to spend the rest of my life arguing about boundaries, I don't believe in training grown men.  I love him but is love enough?[/quote]
