Absolutely. He needs to set boundaries asap. This would never be tolerated in my household.

access to everything I’m my home. Including my husband’s wallet. If not he ain’t my husband anymore. They can both kick rocks. She’s needs to stay in her lane immediately or end this relationship. It far too toxic

I had that problem for almost 8 years married. I finally stood up to them and showed them I am NOT going any where, 21 years married now, so now I am a trusted member. My husband in the beginning was such a mama’s boy he would listen to her and not back me. Eventually he saw what was happening and backed me after. Now I am not afraid of “reviews” of any kind. Stand up to them both and tell him to man up or move. He is your husband and should act as such.

He needs to be the one defending you. If he won’t, things likely won’t get better. Maybe try marriage counseling. Because maybe an unbiased 3rd party could help him see his mother’s insidious influence for what it really is, and give him advice on how to cut the umbilical cord.

My husbands mom is the same way and caused probs running her mouth for no reason getting in our relationship etc. I got tired of it and stopped trying!!! We DO NOT have a relationship at all and I’m OK with it. We have 5kids and She has not seen my kids in omg like 8+yrs besides pictures on Facebook lol and has not met our two youngest babies ages 4&2. I married him not his mom and if she can’t respect me or my marriage then

You throw the whole family out, that’s what you do. I understand she’s his mother and she is ‘trying to protect her son’ but she is out of line and he is also for not putting her in her place. Your husband is a bitch! If someone in my husbands family was badmouthing me for zero reason, he’d cut them off. I’d do the same for him. We’re partners. We’re a team. Unless there is a valid reason, no one, and I mean NO ONE is gonna talk shit on my spouse, especially to me! I say call both of them out, to their faces!
I mean. How’s their relationship? Does he feed into it or ignore it? My MIL literally told my husband that so&so says he was her first love and that she’s available to date now that her husband passed away—my husband didn’t say anything. Which upset me-but I know he never says anything to her regardless. Maybe a “happy birthday” occasionally, but he hasn’t seen her in 3 years or a real conversation in the same. So it was pretty easy to get over her message. It’s not a fight to have
“Why didn’t you defend me”

If he isn’t standing up for you you’re married to basically a grown child. He put vows down to be with you. To let anyone even his mother disrespect you is to go against those. You don’t deserve that from either. I’d talk to him. And be like this is where I stand and it’s not okay. Cause eventually it will cause bigger issues

Your mother in law doesn’t have to like you, but your husband should defend you and put a stop to her nonsense. If he can’t treat you the way you deserve, leave. You deserve someone who will stand up for you in public and private.

I’d speak up to her. Defend yourself since your husband won’t. Even do it in front of him.
She’s a manipulator and she’s gotten in his head that much I’m honestly surprised it hasn’t broken your marriage up… Speak up to her tell her to F off and tell her husband he needs to start putting her back in her place. She is not HIS WIFE. She needs to stop acting like she’s in this relationship with you two. She’s putting HER insecurities onto her son. How patheitc.

I stood up for myself and nothing happened. Everyone in my husband’s family gives his mom the same excuse… “that’s just how she is.” She passive aggressive to me to the worst extent, has screamed at me in my face and even when I was holding my son on his first birthday, and is just all around mean to me. I stopped talking to her. Idgaf what someone is to you… blood, friend, acquaintinces, etc… it doesn’t matter because TOXIC IS TOXIC. She’s clearly toxic to you and your relationship and your husband is supporting her abuse towards you. Me personally I would go no-contact with her and tell him you don’t care how he feels about it because it’s not him taking her abuse. In my personal experience they don’t change no matter what. My husband’s mother had many chances and blew every one of them. I wouldn’t bother trying anymore. And if you have kids, seeing them is a privilege, not a right, and she should be made aware of that as well.

My ex’s father was elderly with dementia and used to follow me when we stayed at their house, he used to check on me when I was in the room to make sure I wasn’t stealing anything and would always check everything after we left. That was his dementia that made him like that so as much as I hated it I didn’t let it get to me. Maybe she’s suffering similar? If this isn’t the case then your husband needs to defend you full stop or maybe even you confront her with it.

Shower them with all the love you have and thank her for making you “feel so trustworthy”. Prove them wrong, but only if you plan to stay and change their behavior. Be the bigger person and even ask for your home to be blessed by a priest or by the church she goes to. I’m not 1 to give up so that’s what I would do. Wish you luck as every person is different.

It’s bad enough that your mil is talking crap about you, it’s even worse that you’re husband isn’t defending you. He should be telling his mother that his money is your money and vice versa.

I went through this myself but it was his grandma… she’d tell him while I was in the other room to keep the money on him at all times and for me not to touch it. Thinking I couldn’t hear. And it was said EVERY TIME WE WERE VISITING HER! We were married and I never asked him for money unless I didn’t have money and we absolutely needed something like toilet paper or laundry detergent, etc. when I wasn’t working, I’d barely ever ask for gas money just so I could actually go visit my own family and if I did ask, I only asked for $5 in gas (I had an Aveo) and $5 could get me two towns away to see my dad and back… that crap ticked me off so bad. Im not the type to keep up with nails done or hair done or tanning, or buy myself new clothes I never did those. Im lucky to get my hair done once every 2 years and I haven’t had my nails done since I was 17- im 27. A lot of my clothes were clothes I have had since high school. But for some reason, in her eyes and the rest of his families eyes, I was money hungry lol cause I ask for a whopping $5 in gas once a month to see my own family for a change when i was a stay at home mom lol. Ridiculous.
Speak up on it! It won’t stop if you don’t!

It’s awful that she does that, but trust me if that’s the only issue…she’s not the worst. The stories I could tell. I’d sit him down and speak very directly to him about it. I’d ask if he trusted me and if not, why. I’d tell him that I expect him to address this with his mother in defense of you. That’s manipulative and undermining your relationship. I’d also talk to her myself about it. I’d take her out somewhere on common ground in public and confront her head on. I’d be direct but not aggressive and tell her how I felt. If someone hurt him in the past, I’d assure her that I wasn’t going to do the same and let her know we’re on the same team. If it continued, I’d let her know that it’s unacceptable and ask her right in front of him why she’s trying so hard to make an enemy out of you. Hopefully it can be resolved with getting it out in the open. That’s where I went wrong…many many years ago.
