my mother in law and I have had a good relationship, up until about 2 weeks ago. She said some pretty hurtful things about me and called my a few names. I dont feel like our relationship will ever be the same and I want to move away from her.( we live 1/2 mile down the road) Also she is extreamly nosey, evertime we leave the house she calls one of our cell phones to ask us where we are going. Am I in the wrong to want to move? How do I deal with her now?

I feel for you...but I have two that drive me up the wall...I would say be up front and honest..blunt tell her you will not deal with this anymore and that you don't want her butting her nose in everything..i mean you are already mad so what is the worst that can happen..she will know how you feel and may respect you more for sticking up for yourself..and maybe just maybe she will say sorry and give you space when needed.And if not you already want to move...but one thing did you start the fight 2 weeks ago if so put it all out there but include i'm sorry..good luck

My mother has lived a block away from her mother-in-law for 25 years and has a similar relationship. Only my mother knew she wasn't liked from the beginning. She has been less that happy for 25 years and it has weighed heavily on my parents marriage for all these years. I feel if they had moved farther away then they would have had a much happier marriage and the relationship with my grandmother(the mother-in-law) would not have been such an issue.
good luck and I really hope that you have a better situation develop!!

yes your right mother in law are the worst any couple could have if you have a mother in law like that then its better for you to leave the house. if your husband doesnt want to leave then leave your husband too actually there many mother in law who is good with there son in law or wife in law but they way you describe your mother in law you should get out in there for good .

No you are not wrong to want to move, sounds like your mother-in-law is in severe need of getting her own life.
Time for her to cut the apron strings.

dont move-fight it...atleast here u know the enemy. first dont take her calls.call her wen u feel u shd.enquire bout her health.never lose ur cool.its ok if she talks to her son-u play perfect, cause u are...if she says anything bout u not takin calls , tell him u always call wen u r out of the jam u were in.but u must face the battle, dont run away..she will find another way to destroy ur peace...

Move ASAP. Inlaws can ruin a marriage
