Woman Sets Clear Boundaries with Controlling MIL Against Her Husband’s Wishes, Sparking Fierce Debate Over Respect and Authority

Keeping a friendly relationship with your mother-in-law is important for you and your partner. You don't have to be best friends with your mother-in-law, but you do need to get along and respect each other.

The story below is an account of a frustrated daughter-in-law. The original poster (OP) had been married for a considerable amount of time. Overall, the couple is happy and fulfilled in their marriage. Except for the occasional argument, they are on the same page most of the time. But the mother-in-law, who treats OP more like a child in need of her approval than an adult, has always been a source of tension.

As a result, OP had had enough and told her husband that she would no longer play along with her games. So, check out the story below to learn more about the complicated relationship between the MIL and DIL and what ultimately drove OP over the edge! Additionally, after you're done, don't forget to check out the story about the woman who refuses to surrender bank account details to her husband and creates a rift in the relationship!
