I can't stand my mother in law, she is a 66-year-old needy, nosey, meddling person. She plays my husband against me by making comments to him about me or something I might have said or done. She calls my husband over for almost anything she can think of. Don't get me wrong, she's a fit, solid minded person who can sit up at the casino for 12 hours, walk 3 miles a day and so on! She has eight kids, but only 3 are boys. She feels her chores should be done by her boys because this is why she had boys. She will not allow any of the in-laws to help cut her grass, do her running, salt her walks, shovel her snow..... We live 1 hour away, so do the other two boys, all her daughters are married and live by her. She doesn’t like me cause my husband is her baby. We married after just 4 weeks. I already had a son when we married. Should I go on? Needless to say she thinks I am not worthy of her son although we have been married 10 years now. We fight constantly over her. I try to keep to myself but it’s so hard. One of his sisters is my very best friend and she doesn’t understand why her mother is this way to us either.
My husband thinks I am jealous, so if that's the case, how can I over come it and stopped feeling like I want to dig her eyes out every time my husband goes running? How can I deal with this with out getting a divorce????
