hi pondering, i'm sorry to hear about your situation. If you're going to maintain status quo about your housing situation despite the separation, then I would suggest that you and him set some house rules that you can both abide by. Eg: types of guests, cleaning, food, etc. He cannot expect...

hi Sadgirl You can't choose your parents, and you can't choose your children. But you can choose your spouse. So do choose carefully, and if you've made that choice based on what you know now, you have to accept what comes your way. Will you be truly happy with him? Can you truly love him...

Graduates are a dime a dozen these days. With so many people running around with post-Grad degrees like Masters and PhDs, I hide my bachelors degree in the cupboard. Ggoldfish, I hope that one day your parents will come to realise that good values and the willingness to work hard is what...

hi pinkbuttons Since you're giving him another chance, try to take things positively. Even though his mum might try to wreak havoc again, let him handle it as a big boy. All the best!

PB, Like everyone else here, I'm incensed too just by reading your accounts. Where are your hubby's priorities? He chose you as his wife. He didn't have a choice in mother. So rightfully, he should be taking responsibility and protecting you. Please do let us give him a good scolding...

pinkbuttons, stay strong! At least your hb is not as irrational as his mother is. Except that he's caught in a bind. As for your credit card bills, your statements are retrievable. You may have to pay an administrative fee, but these are real evidence, and the bank can churn them out for...

Perhaps you should just install a security camera at your home and record all your MIL's antics and threats (make sure it has audio recording function too). And just conveniently broadcast it to your hubby's relatives one day

pinkbuttons Sorry I can't offer much advise, but I really do empathise with your situation.

What cactus has said makes a lot of sense. Pinkbuttons, it is right that a marriage should be between a husband and a wife. It looks like your husband isn't clear of that fact and allows his mother to come into the picture. Your MIL isn't very smart -- she isn't playing her cards right if...

Affairs start when the persons involved have no self-control. Sure, there are temptations, but that doesn't mean people must give in to it. They have the gift of the will. "I promise to be true to you in good times and in bad, in sickness and in health. I will love you and honour you all the...

Unfortunately for Janica, her hubby doesn't seem to really be on her side when it comes to the MIL & key issue. The thing is... a marriage is the sole union of the husband and the wife. The extended family may come along with it, but it is not a right for them to interfere in the...

We should make it compulsory for all parents to attend Marriage Preparation Course: In-laws Series. Rule #1: Your child has grown up, it's time for him/her to make her own decisions Rule #2: When your child gets married, he/she will have his/her own family with his/her spouse Rule #3...

hi Chin Leng Actually a simple "Message removed by administrator" will suffice. At least we would know that it has been deleted for some reason, be it a request or something else. Thanks!

Thanks for your reply Chin Leng. In that case, all our time spent replying to the poster was in vain then. Is there any way in future that if there's a request for a post deletion, to actually state that the post has been deleted on request? Because it was really confusing for me, and I...

hi zimon if i were you, i would like to know the truth. but it's like an addiction, after knowing a little bit, you'll just want to know more and more. Maybe there'll be no end, but it's got to stop some where. It will take a lot of self-control. Since you're both going through...

Hi Chin Leng/moderators There are a couple of missing messages from Crazy MIL (matters of the heart). Wonder what happened? Can they be reinstated? Thanks
