[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Show him this thread and ask for his honest, calm opinion on your thoughts (and our responses). Gauge his reaction. I would probably be headed for divorce if I was in your situation, FWIW. This is no way to live.[/quote]

+1.  And I would tell my DH I was considering divorce.  I would also tell my MIL I was considering divorce and that she needed to start respecting boundaries because if you get divorced, your MIL is going to have a lot less access to your kid.  Look, I think a lot of MIL's have a little trouble with boundaries.  As I look at my 5 year old boy, I imagine it will be really hard for me when he is married with kids of his own--if that happens some day--but I will do everything I can to control myself because I know that is necessary for my son to have an independent grown up life and a happy marriage and family of his own.  I know sometimes my MIL struggles a bit but she always checks herself and DH and I are always a united front.  Make your husband understand the gravity of this situation and make him know his marriage is on the line.  [/quote]
