How do I deal with a super nosy and annoying mother-in-law? I am never rude to her or ever tell her to back off but what should I do? And to make matters worse my hubby is her only son and she doesn't have a significant other of her own. Please some advice...

TOUGH! I kind of had the same problem. I talked to my husband about it, and made it very clear that I adored her, but feared her meddling would come between our relationship. I also told him that I in no way wanted to come between him and his mom....but we needed to set ground rules. He understood more than I thought he would...and he talked to his mom about it. After all, he knows her better than I do...so he knew how to express this without upsetting her and making me look like a bad person. It has worked very well, and we are ALL happy now.

Are you living together in a same house? Tell your husband that both of you should have your own house because this is the right way to start a family. You couple should be seperated from your parents, because if not then you will never know how to stand in your ownselves as a couple and to avoid the things that you experiencing now with your mother-in- law. Of course as of now you will get to be more nice to her although she's rude to you, but as time goes by you cannot stand it already and even you don't want to fight back you would still do that..So make a move and stay away with that annoying mother-in-law of you, this is the very best action that you can make.because she will never be changed and she will get worsen each passing day. Most of the mother-in-laws are like that, only some women are lucky enough to have a peace-making mother-in-law.

I'm speaking from experience. The only way to deal with this is to get hubby to talk to his mother. If you try on your own you will be seen as the bad guy. Trust me I've been divorced for 2 years now and a lot of our issues had to do with his family.

This is one reason I never married. You have my most sincere sympathies.
She sounds lonely and maybe is having trouble letting go of her "little boy" who is all grown up and married. Maybe see a therapist alone or perhaps with your husband and set some boundaries for her. He should choose you first over his mother. Should.
Rearrange the letters:
mother in law... ma now hitler.
A coincidence?

You married a mummy's boy. you need to talk to him about this too, and eventually talk to her. while he still has control over him, she knows she is safe from rebuttal and you will lose the battle.
once he opens his mind, you should be able to confront her.
My mother in law always made my wife doubt herself, until I told her to back off at a family dinner, and that if the family didnt agree with my rules in my house they could go. my wife gets support by me, how dare anyone erode that.
stand up to the witch. but I bet your biggest challenge will be your husbands support.

i would talk to your hubby,and let him know what is wrong.and you had a enough, and it's up to him to put her in her place not you. if he don't do something about her then u step in and sit her down and talk to her. let her know what is going own. but like i said it up to him to take to his mom. good luck.
