Did I Do The Right Thing?

My mother in law is currently going through a divorce. My fiancée has basically been her support through the whole ordeal. The only issue is that he’s never been this supportive of me. I struggled really bad with PPD after our daughter was born to the point I considered hurting myself. All he could tell me was that feelings were irrational and that I should basically get over it.

Seeing him supporting someone else while again struggling with pregnancy, hurts. While some may say I’m being selfish, you have to understand our whole relationship (even before the divorce), he’s been all about his mom. I can’t do anything without him asking her how she does it. He allows her to just take our daughter even after I said how it made me feel. I’ve had to beg him to help me with anything, but he jumps to help her.

Tonight I informed him that I was thinking about leaving him. I can’t deal with someone who refuses to understand how I feel even though we’re supposed to be getting married. It’s uncomfortable for me how emotionally attached he is with his mother. I could understand asking for advice every now and then, but the constant need for her to be there is too much. We were planning on buying a house, but then he asked if his mom could come to stay. His mom makes more than enough money to afford a place of her own.

I have felt some relief since telling him how I felt, but I’m still not sure if I did the right thing. I’ve been feeling this way for awhile, like I can never be as good enough for him as his mom.
