parents interfering in marriage, could result in separation. help?
Both parents interfere. my MIL is very suspicious and very possessive of her son ( my hubby) questions everything about my parents. My mother is over eager to solve problems, the two mothers do not get along.
Tell them to back off they are interfering with your relationship with your spouse. They may be a bit offended by that, but the other solution is more drastic.
If your married then SPEAK up and TELL THE PARENTS TO BUTT OUT !!!ITS VERY SIMPLE .Let them know if they do not leave you alone you will not let them come over or enjoy your company unless they do so !!!!
I'm in the same situation. You need to sit down and calmly tell them that you're married and that this is the person you're deeply in love with and that you've chosen to spend the rest of your life with. Tell them that you know they mean well, but that you're an adult and they need to accept and recognize that. Tell them that it's putting a strain on your marriage and it's not fair to you and your spouse. Make sure they know that you love them and that you don't want them out of your life forever, and gently remind them of your conversation whenever they start butting in again. Good luck!
If you want your marriage to survive move as far away from your parents as you possibly can. If you can't move out of town then move to the other side of town. Change your phone number, screen your calls and use Caller ID. Insist that your parents call first before coming over. You must safeguard your relationship just as you would safeguard your own child from a predator. The only reason your parents are interfering with your marriage is because you are allowing it to happen. Marriage is hard work but worth working hard for. Good luck!
That is part of the reason my husband left me. You should express your concerns. If you don't want to end like me than tell them how you feel and maybe you could set ground rules for the in-laws.
Well, does your husband not side with you when it comes to the conflict with your MIL? He needs to support you, otherwise it's going to be a big mess if you are pitted against both of them. While it's nice to have MIL's approval, it is not absolutely necessary as long as both partners work together on this. Only he can curb her unreasonable behavior.
Dont talk or visit either often. Tell your husband he must stand up to his mother and get her to leave you two alone. Just ignore anything either mother says. Let it roll right off your back.
keep them away from your life. both of u go on trip for few days dint bring the discussion about them at all. talk anything else. listen to elders. not necessary to put into practical . just relax before talking anything. be silent when arguments arise..
I would recommend reading the book "Boundaries in Marriage" by Dr. Henry Cloud and Dr. John Townsend. I would also suggest getting to a marriage counselor for assistance.
