I feel sorry for my husband. I understand that they are his family and he wants to maintain a relationship with them, but they are simply taking advantage of him. It has come to a point where
Six months ago, my wife and I decided to move to a new city. Previously, we lived on the outskirts and worked at a local company. Initially, everything was fine. I didn’t worry about unnecessary things, and my wife understood when I was too tired, so we rarely argued. But at some point, everything changed. My father-in-law started visiting us frequently, and it became a problem I couldn’t ignore.
Meeting my future wife was the best moment of my life. I was immediately overwhelmed with feelings. Covered in love, I constantly tried to give her flowers and various surprises.
He decided that I would cover his daily expenses while he saved his pension for a “rainy day.” Now, everything falls on me: paying for utilities, groceries, and more.
The main reason for her persistence is that my husband has a child from his previous marriage. My mother-in-law believes her son made a huge mistake by leaving his family and is determined to reunite them.
My husband’s mother has always been a go-getter. After retiring, she initially saw her well-deserved retirement as a blessing, but soon found herself restless. Now, she’s dragged us into her new business venture, and it’s not going as planned.
Even in today’s modern world, some situations feel like a throwback to harsher times. This was the case for Emily, whose small family consisted of her mother, older sister, and herself. Life was tough, but they managed. Emily seemed to have luck on her side when she met a kind and ambitious man. However, she constantly had to come up with ways to support her family, often at the expense of her own happiness and that of her husband, Michael.
“What did they want? Why didn’t they say anything earlier?” her friend asked. “They never stayed silent, and then my patience snapped!” said Emily. Emily had been married for six years.
One day, before the weekend, I called my friend Mike to invite him and his wife to our cabin for a barbecue. Mike happily agreed, and we chatted for a bit about the upcoming weekend. But when the call ended, my phone didn’t disconnect, and I overheard a conversation that changed everything.
When he’s at home, my husband is incredibly picky about his food. But the moment we step into his mother’s house, he devours everything and even asks for seconds. He doesn’t hesitate to criticize me if I don’t meet his high standards.
My husband, John, and I have been married for 15 years, and throughout these years, we’ve had one persistent issue. That issue is named Lisa. She is John’s sister.
How can we explain their behavior and reaction to refusal? My wife and I have been together for 9 years and have a child. Fortunately, our family lacks nothing. However, things took a turn for the worse when my mother-in-law started to overstep her boundaries.
