What would you do if you're on my side right now?

Right now we're discussing with my mother-in-law (in behalf of all my in-laws) of our situation of staying here (in their house). We (with my wife) are in hot seat because we're against all odds. No one sided us, instead we are the subject of all the gossip in our neighborhood because instead my mother-in-law is the one passing the story about our life where she should have to keep it privately for our reputation.
My father-in-law will be the one to go if we could not move out right away as what he said to my mother-in-law. My other sister-in-law abroad let her other brother (who is also against in staying us here) stay here from their far residence just to force us to move out immediately.
Right now we will say honestly that our money is not sufficient enough for the house we're wishing to stay at and we are still looking for other option that could fit our recent budget.
To sum up all, they don't want us to stay here which likewise we never ever have a plan to stay here for long, primarily because of their attitude and character treating us like other people to them when in fact my wife is their younger daughter.
Any idea how to manage this kind of problem?
Please share...

sit down the two of you and have a talk with your inlaws, tell them your situation and what you are doing about it. Ask them for patience and see what happens, then if they still don't want you will have to make a sacrifice and move out. You will have to take any place not the one of your dreams.

I have the same views of what you suggested. There is always a place for 2 adults to stay. There is no point in staying somewhere which you are not welcomed as both of you won't be happy too. There is no use to change people's perception. Anyway it is their house.

Oh dear mobhomeir..I am so sorry you and your wife are living in such turmoil. It has been my experiences that more than one family in a house always wreaks havoc eventually. I know that there are families that live together with no issues but if there are more than one or two strong male or female influences, that is where the issues lie. That is not a bad thing...people are born alpha. It just poses an issue when they are in the same home.
I do hope that you are able to have your own dwelling soon and things are comfortable for you.

Hi jenin you're right but, I was wondering, we have recently a neighbor who are still living in a small house though some of the siblings have their own children and yet they live peacefully, until now, i never heard that they are quarreling or having heated arguments that would gives me an idea that they have problem with their living. I guess it all depends on how the parents nurtured their children into what they are right now.I envy.
Yes, right now we are still looking for elusive new home. I hope we can finally found this week.
Thanks jenin for your share..

dear Martin,
Reading your post breaks my heart.
I have been through many trials, but there is always a hand that hold me not to fall.
Wish someone near you can lift you too and make you feel you are not alone.

Yes my dear bonita but there's nothing we can do to resist them because only their mother considered us to stay. We are still looking for that elusive house as of this time

I am so sorry you are in this situation. What kind of parents would force one of their children out when they have no place to go? I guess the world is full of all kinds of people. Maybe you should find anyplace to live just so you don't have to stay there! Just find a cheap place and tell yourself it won't be for long. I know you are saving for another place, and it might take a little longer, but at least you would be out of there!

I know this very hard for both of you right now but you need to be strong and do all your best get out in that house. I dont understand why your in-laws doing this to you and to your wife, they must be supporting you than treating like this. Hope that yu will a way right away so that you will have a less stressful and happy life with your wife.

I think that you need to sit
down and come to a
understanding of your financial
situation. Set a goal and have
them understand your budget.
I also advise that you take
whatever you can for as cheap
as you can living in a hostile
family environment leads to
really bad blood. But let them
know politely that your trying
to leave but can't and will be
gone as soon as possible. Let
them be bad but try to
spend as much time as possible
out of the house. I feel for you
man and hope the best for you.
And try to get with an agency it
may suck but it can help. Ill pray
for you man.

I think that you should do all in your power to move out. Honestly even if they do let you stay longer, you and your wife will not be happy with the situation. Do what you can to find somewhere to live and save and scrounge until you have enough saved up to get an even better place.
Good Luck To You.

You're right my friend. I was already doing some house chores being always done by the old man to give us just a little bit consideration, but it is all to nothing. Nothing at all. Right now we are still looking for the right house for us...
Thanks for responding my friend..

You are in tough situation. I think you should just go out of the place for your own peace of mind. I know through God's grace you can find a house for you and your wife. I don't know why there are some people who doesn't care about their own relatives. Just keep on praying and this too shall pass.

Yes that is a good idea my friend because this old man is so selfish and so greedy. But the problem is as of now I could do it yet because we are saving yet for our new house to come...Thanks for responding my friend...

what ah family...they should understand your situation and give you enough time to save or to find ways before they move you out. Family should help each other unless if their are some reasons why they want you to move out right away. As the man and as the husband of your wife, you should talk to them and try them to understand your situation. In staying with the parents of your spouse, you should do some things that you can contribute to their household like helping in the household chores or give some money contributions in terms of expenses. You should know how to adjust or to deal every person on that house. as i read your story, it so complicated...good conversation and listening are the best way to solve your problem . Good luck!

We've tried it already but all in vain. Only the mother considered us but since majority won't let us stay, majority wins therefore we must go the earliest possible. Thanks for responding my friend...
