Time to move on and find someone who likes you just the way you are you are not valued there but WI be after you are gone
I think you already know the answer in your heart. If you’re not happy, and you’ve got the strength to leave, just go. Find someone who appreciates you. Don’t get to 60 and have regrets. Life is for living. Good luck in the future.

I think you are there. If you are not appreciated, it’s not a healthy relationship.
I’m divorced and have two children, at first I thought because my kids were so young they didn’t realise what was happening at home But they did, they struggled with theirs emotions and miss behaved at nurseries. Once I moved out with my boys their behaviour changed soooo much and to be honest I never regret the decision, because I was totally different person back then manipulated and mistreated like yourself.
Of course on the beginning it’s a difficult but in time your will heal and realise that you deserve to be happy and only then your kids will truly be happy too. I wish you all the best and be strong

Sometimes the one accusing of cheating is the guilty party. Life is too short. Go find where you can be happy.

Are you kidding me? Pack them all up, including gutless husband, and kick their sorry asses to the curb.
I think it might help you if you can find a job and get out of the toxic house regarding your mother in law. Let her take care of the household seeing she touts she says she does anyways snd tell her nicely seeing she is doing such a great job you will let her continue. Get to feel a little more independence and earn some money. I took on two jobs in my 30’s with in-law problems too and it made a whole lot of difference with my spouse’s respect for me when he saw I could become independent from him. Took a year but well worth it.

Leave they are awful
My heart is crying for you hun. From what you have said you are going through a formal of domestic abuse. You need to honestly reflect on what is going on… how it is effecting you and those around you…and make decisions according to your own answers. There is so much help out there… reach out if you can’t see. Where do you want to be 5-10 years from now??? Your life should be your own…not a tool for someone else to make them feel better. Bless. I hope you can come to the right decisions for your own welfare and positive future for you and yours. If you are not at your best how can you truly be there for others.
You have only one life. Every day you stay in that relationship you are wasting your life. I agree that you should get a job. The job will prepare you for your changes. Plan it out. You can do it.
You will know when you reach your limit. I stayed too long but once I was done, I was done. The kids were much happier.

Staying married is hard, being single is hard. Choose your hard now so that tomorrow can be better.
Whatever you decide make sure you are set up before you and yours leave. You should start stashing cash when you can. Check out the housing in your area, what is the average rent? utilities ext…what type of job could you get? will you need childcare, at what cost? The more you prepare ahead of time the easier the transition will be for you and kids. Bide your time and keep working toward your goal.

Best of luck to you and your 3 children.

I’m so sorry you are going through this. It will not hurt your husband and his family if you make a quiet exit with your kids. I’m sure that you will be able to breathe easily and your kids would be happy too. So the time is now to move on without looking back because there will not be anything that you wish you could take with you. You may not be aware but your children have been traumatized with all that tension around them. Simply let him know that life is too short and you can’t continue to live under such horrible conditions.
Have a blessed day
I stayed way too long with my ex husband when he did this kind of thing. Every couple Is different so I can only answer as to what I did, but when I had reached my limit of being (falsely) accused of cheating, being scrutinized every time we went out (claimed I talked too long with the waiter/clerk/cashier, etc) and had to know where I was every minute of the day (would even check when I was sitting on the toilet)… it got to be too much. He was retired and I still worked- yet he was constantly accusing or insinuating I was cheating- even when I caught him using online porn and personal ads. I moved out and filed for divorce. It was final in 2016. Best decision I could have made.
Sweetheart only you can make that choice none of us can tell you what is right or wrong for you if it is mentally and physically grinding you down it’s better to sort it now before it gets to late I wish you all the best in your choice for yourself and your children x

By writing this post, I think you already know the answer but are looking for some help in taking the next step. Why don’t you contact your local woman’s aid they might be able to help. I would try and speak with your husband too (if not already) and see if he is willing to change, if not, you need to look after yourself & your kids. Your daughter will pick up on his behaviour and think this it is OK to be treated this way when she grows up. I wish you all the best in your future, keep strong, it gets better

Leave the bastard is it Worth being miserable the rest of ur life. Promise he’ll regret it b4 you do
Your kids will grow up and live your life because it will seem normal. It’s up to you to show them what happy looks like. That’s what it boils down to. Are you happy? Is this how you want to live? If he isn’t willing to have your back then you have to make some choices. I agree with a previous post about doing your best to prepare for eventual departure if that’s what you decide to do. It’s not an easy choice until you realize that you have the right to be happy. Don’t look back and don’t let him live in your head. Best wishes for you and your kiddos. 
Sadly, I don’t think your relationship will improve. The constant toxicity from weak men is draining. Having to think what you say and do permanently will ruin your health. If he’s not supporting you 100%, then maybe it’s time for him and his mum to leave.

It was time to call it quits a long time ago. Take your kids and get out of that unhealthy abusive relationship, or your kids will repeat what you are living right now, because that is all they know. And if your boys’ father doesn’t treat your daughter like one of his own, that is sad too. She is their sister, doesn’t matter who is her Dad. I have several grandkids who are not blood relations (siblings of my biological grandkids) and I would not even think about treating them any differently. But your daughter is much better off without a father, than one who is controlling and abusive.

It’s a choice only you can make but life is too short to have some one repress you and make your life a misery. People will adjust in their way. What I really want to say is make your absence felt.

As a child, I lost my dear mother by the hands of my own father. Before the murder, he’d constantly take my mother to court for custody of my sister and I. One day he showed up at the house trying to take us on a week day and my mother called the cops but didn’t file a complaint. ~ my grandmother became our legal guardian. I was 7 turning 8 in 5 days and already being told that “we didn’t have to take you in” “we could be retired” “but we HAVE to take care of you”. I try to be the best person I can be, but nothing is ever good enough for my grandmother. Seems similar to your mother-in-law situation. She also is way worse to me than she is to my sister. Idk maybe it’s bc I look like my dad. Anyways, she threatened to send me to boarding school and foster care multiple times just for being a kid? Like playing webkinz @9pm on a school night. If I didn’t listen to her or stayed out too late I’d get threatening voicemails saying she was going to beat my ass. She’d take away my electronics and ground me. Never did any of this with my sister. Still does her laundry for her. I don’t have any kids, but I think the mother-in-law has some repressed trauma unrelated to you that she uses you for release. She also could maybe be like my grandmother - every man I date is a piece of shit and sucks- “they’re not good enough for you”. My sisters boyfriends: he’s such a nice guy he’s so good for her. I think it’s best for you to get out of there w your kiddos or kick them out. Take care of yourself and your babies. Your husband clearly has trust issues or is hiding something by accusing you. Your children might understand more than you think. Their brains are still growing everyday. && if they do have questions, or feel uncomfortable, have an open discussion with them. Remind them that you are a family and you love them. Make them feel comfortable and don’t say anything negative about the husband. Just explain that two people in a marriage are supposed to make each other grow and flourish, and you feel under appreciated and unloved. They will be sure to give you the love you need
Id kick the mum out first

I was in a similar relationship, except I wasn’t allowed to see my parents without being accused of cheating. In the end I ran, much better life, met new friends, made a better life for my self and I,m much happier.
It would be really hard to leave but there are people that can help.Life is very short so for your kids sake you must try and go.
Doesnt feel like love.
You know what you need to do… the hardest part is the leaving , the ending but dont wallow in an empty relationship. Raise your daughter as friends, dont wait until you hate him.

You have 3 choices
-
Do nothing and things stay the same. That is a choice
-
Confront the relative issue with him and tell him how it is affecting you and your relationship. Either he has your back or he has to choose you or his mother.
-
Pack a bag and go to your own family till you can work out how to set yourself up. Time way from your husband will highlight what’s important to him being without you. And he will see for himself how much you do once you’re not covering for his mother anymore.
It’s not easy and I’ve been in your shoes but once you know it’s over don’t waste anymore of your life on him and his family. You deserve some peace in your life.
Hope this help you
Good luck x

I would give him an ultimatum. Either his mam finds somewhere else to live or you go. He should be supporting you and telling his mam to butt out and remind her that it’s your house, not hers.
You have to get rid of his family, they need to be out of your house. Until you do, you will always be last in his life.
HIS first mistake was bringing Mom into your home, especially if she’s that toxic and doing this after only being married not even a year. That’s not fair to your relationship. A Recipe for disaster & failure!
So, I’d say have a come to Jesus meeting’ & talk about relocating his family out of your home. If he truly loves & cares about you and wants to make it work…he’ll find a way to do it. You & your children should come first in his life. Compromise is key in a relationship but it sounds to me as if he is still unable to cut the apron strings from his controlling mommy.
If he can’t be a man and come to the table & do that for you…your children and your marriage, then leave. And if he gets rid of them , go back to him ONLY if he can promise no family will ever live in your house ever again and he puts you and your children FIRST.
Good luck!

I would have gone when you brought the other two kids.
Sounds like you are in a sinking ship with Red flags going off everywhere. I would tell him you are feeling overwhelmed, manipulated and do not feel respected or valued and need some time. Tell him you are going to visit your family or friends house for a few days personally I’d go a week if possible because you aren’t sure this is working anymore, but follow through. Tell him I don’t think we should talk until the following Friday. We can go to dinner and discuss this but no communication for the week. See what a week apart shows you. Did he respect your wishes and not call or text or not guilt you throughout the week. Are you the woman he is in love with or do you feel like property something he owns and uses to keep the house clean and cater to his family. Friday dinner discuss your needs in order for this to continue like mum needs to go with other family or find her own place because she has stepped way out of line in your own home. What him accusing you of cheating has now made you not trust him, Etc, whatever has gone through your mind the last week. Write it down it will help. As for cheating if you think he is then he probably is.
Quietly take your children and yourself and leave… let them figure out how they want it all to work.

I would say if you are asking that question the you already know in your heart what you need to do. Being in that type of relationship and continually asking yourself if it’s time to call it quits will only eat at you more and more. You deserve to be happy. If you’re truly not happy then I would say it’s time to leave. It will be much healthier for your daughter to see her parents happy apart and still being her parents than for her to see you both miserable together.

The Bible says to leave and cleave. This is something I wouldn’t tolerate whatsoever. Even if you don’t believe, the leave and cleave message speaks to every marriage really. This is in no way a man, and to allow his mother to live with you and disrespect you? Absolutely not. He isn’t going to respect you as long as she’s around and influencing things. I’d leave honestly.

I spent an entire year working on me, enjoying life, and spending time with my girls and friends. Life is short. Do whatever will make you happy.
First of all…HE is YOUR partner, he is NOT the rule maker, you decide the rules together. HE needs to let his mother know, that she is living in YOUR house. You are not a hotel. It is very nice and kind to open your home to family if they need it, BUT they must FIRST AND FOREMOST acknowledge you are granting a privelage, and if all can’t work at peace, they must move on. Take YOUR part in this family, he is king? Well YOU are QUEEN! Take your power. Good luck
