Having a judgemental mother-in-law living with you is enough to make anyone pull out their hair. Having a prying mother-in-law that frequently interrupts your sex life with their son can be even worse.
This was the case for a Reddit user (also known as a Redditor) who has found trouble enjoying the honeymoon phase of her marriage.
After tying the knot, the couple decided to live together in a two-bedroom apartment. “Unfortunately two months after our wedding, his father died in an accident. My mother-in-law and my husband (who is an only child) were devastated as it was quite sudden.”
Now alone, the mother-in-law then moved in with her son and his wife in their apartment. “My mother-in-law never liked me. She is one of the mothers who think ‘that no woman is good enough for her son,” shared the Redditor.
The arrival of the mother-in-law halted the couple’s sex life as they did not feel comfortable doing the deed while she was a few metres away within earshot. The Redittor then shares, “The thing is that when we did have sex, my mother-in-law magically ‘interrupted us.’ It didn’t matter what time it was, even if it was 3 AM, she casually got up and knocked on our door asking ,’What are we doing?’ Or telling my husband that she feels bad because her head hurts or things like that.”
Having had enough of the interruptions, lack of privacy, and criticism (which lasted for seven months), the wife decided to move to her parents’ house.
“My husband keeps calling me and sending me messages to come back, but I don’t know what to do anymore. This is really stressful.”
