Daughter In-Law vs. Mother In-Law

My boyfriend's mother is against me and in our relationship. She gets mad every time she sees me and whenever I call at their house. Now, I'm married with my husband for four years, I can say we're okay now. In fact we are now living at their house for two years even if it's against my will :D I still prefer to live separately. Are you in good terms with your parents in-law? If not, how do you deal with it?

I lived with my inlaws for seven years, at that time many misunderstanding create, sometime their treatment with me was good and some time not, but since i separated from them, the relationship between us becomes more better then before.

I never met my mother in law but in the side of my parent and my husband. (Mother in law and son in law) At first my mom don't like him because of the rumor gossips about him but when the time that we get married my mom know his characteristic when we are already living in one house she starting to like him and now,my mom is much closer to him than me. They also have the same birthday.

You can't oblige someone to like you or mind their own business. Honestly, mother-in-laws can be some of the nosiest, most cruel people on the planet. The thing about mother-in-laws does have a lot of time and sentiment invested in their children. Nearly all parents out there can appreciate this and even relate. However some mother-in-laws have trouble letting their children go, and that can spell catastrophe for the spouse. Admit the fact that your spouse loves his mother, and that their mother will forever be a part of their life. Don't try to compete with your mother-in-law for your spouse's time, attention, or devotion.
