My husband and I are moving out of his parents' house in September - it was his decision for us to move in with them, as we were having a financial crisis. My patience is being tested. My mother-in-law is generally a sweet person, I know this -- but she has done several things to confuse me. For instance, she: • admitted to counting my husband's pills he left on the table for whatever reason. • She developed a bad habit of taking out my bathroom trash when it was not full, so-- I left a polite note stating that I take it out weekly, and "thank you 😁" • She has knocked on the door and woken us up at night for unimportant reasons and things she could have done herself. • She has helped herself into our bedroom to borrow his robe before. • I make conversation, but she developed a habit of questioning me in conversation and attempting to talk to me every time I walk through the kitchen; my anxiety has skyrocketed to where I feel the need to hide in my bedroom whenever she is there... it has gotten worse over the past few months. Recently, she left me a card stating that she was praying for me, and that I am a special person in their family. A kind gesture. I wrote a note back stating that I have been stressed with work and personal issues, thanking her for the polite card, and apologizing for not being able to talk to her for a little while. I don't know how to convey how I really feel, because I don't like hurting anyone's feelings. ***My husband says I have a problem with being a doormat, especially since my own parents were abusive*** --I don't try to be. My husband believes they feel they did something wrong since he told them we are moving soon, as to why she wrote that. Though our marriage is still maturing as we married last year, I feel that living here is damaging our intimacy, causing the both of us stress, and similar things.... He is talked down to like he is still a child, his father still argues with him to be right over little things, and I'm not sure how to cope over these next few months until we move into our new home. my husband has told her that I wasn't too comfortable living there, but I guess she has ignored that. I live by the motto "Their house, their rules" but I'm not comfortable living there in any way, have never been, and my stress feels like it often spirals out of control. **It was never like this when we were living by ourselves. I just need advice on how to get through these next few months, thank you ladies so much for reading.
