[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You have to move.  Your husband and MIL will never change.  My marriage only survives because the looney lives too far away to drive over.  Plus, I refuse to move from this shoebox I call a house since there is no place for them to stay when they visit… the cheap people have to pay for a hotel.  It limits how long and how frequently they can visit.[/quote]

This. We don’t have a guest room. They complain incessantly. Sorry, not sorry.

Like OP we got married young (24/26) right out of grad school. We hadn’t lived together beforehand and it was unclear to me at that point exactly how up in his business of every sort his mother/parents were. It didn’t strike me as terribly odd that he’d talk to them about school loans, car decisions, etc. as neither of us had previous experience with those types of things. But when we got married and he continued to share financial information at their request and other decisions that didn’t impact them at all, I was not amused. Thankfully we have never lived close to them (across the country) and the distance allows him to see the absurdity of many of their requests/insinuations. But if it weren’t for the distance I’m 99% sure we wouldn’t have made it last a year of marriage. If you have no kids, I’d suggest getting out. With you living near them this will never end. As PP said only time and distance have helped and some meddling on their part gone horribly wrong that the distance actually allowed him to see. [/quote]
