π‘MILπππ
In our culture, mom in law has the ultimate power and daughter in law is subservient to husband's family.
Basically Males are given preference.
I had an arranged marriage like everyone in my family and area.
I talked to my husband only once before our marriage.
You guys might be wondering is this 21st century??
But believe me, these kinds of people do EXIST right now.
This is the kind of life i am dealing with but luckily since i stay abroad with my very sweet and loving husband, i am living a happy life.
Its been almost 5 years since our marriage.
I am struggling with infertility for 4+years.
But now i am
Soo frustrated since my husband invited his mom to live with us for a month.
I had no choice or rather voice , because its his mom and he loves her very much.
Now i try my best to accommodate her, help her in everything and i do all the household works.
Its basically my DUTY to serve her in my culture.
She even has a say in the way i dressπππ
I don't mind or rather ignore lots of things but few things gets on my nerves.
She is very RELIGIOUS
We have a difference of opinion regarding our faith and she always mocks my beliefs.
Today she went behind back and told my husband to ADVISE me regarding my faith.
I am soooo frustrated
And something she often says is
"You can get another WIFE, but you only have one mother"
2 weeks more to go.
I am soo on edge right now with my husband.
He said he didn't want any problems between us and he always takes her side in her presence.
My husband is really very good to me and we love each other very much.
We haven't had many fights unless it involves his mom or brother.
His younger brother is a mamas boy and my MIL like to gloat how the brother n his wife takes care of herπππ.
Its like they have raised their children like an insurance, for taking care of them in old age.
She guilt trips me by saying obeying parents and husband is the only way to HEAVEN.
WHAT.THE.FUCKπ
I am devoted to god too, so this is hurtful.
I am so tired of this bullshit.
And all my husband says to me is to forgive and forget and just to go along with her for the time being.
I bite my tongue most of the time with her hurtful or unresonable comments only for the sake of my husband.
She dislikes me because she wanted her son and his family to live with her forever at their house and i made my stand that i don't like to go back to our country and i like it here, where we currently lives.
I am a short tempered person and try my best to control my anger.
But today i snapped a little and raised my voice.
Now its 2 am here and i can't fall asleep with all the things that happened today.
Both my husband and MIL are snoring too loudly.πππ
Not being able to have a child is another problem she has with me.(i have PCOS)
She's always asking about my periods and
Sex life. She wants her grandson.
She only wants BOYS/SONS/GRANDSON
Its a product of our male dominated culture and I have no way of escaping it.
I feel suffocatedπππ
Today my husband's cousin sister announced her pregnancy and i am very much happy for her but sad and pity for myself.
