A woman has shared how her overbearing mother-in-law purposely interrupts her and her husband when they’re having sex because she doesn’t want her to get close to her son
A woman has shared her outrage after her overbearing mother-in-law banned her from having sex with her husband. She explained how her mother-in-law moved in with her and her husband after her own husband tragically died in an accident.
However, the couple, who got married one year ago, have been struggling to go about their daily lives as newlyweds without the mother-in-law’s interference. She said on Reddit: “My husband and I got married a year ago.
“He and I didn’t live together before, in fact, we hardly saw each other because we both worked and studied at the same time, so our time was quite limited. We got married and went to live together in his 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. My mother-in-law, left alone, began to suggest to my husband that we move with her to her house to keep her company, but because she is from another state we couldn’t due to our jobs and college.”
She says her mother-in-law has never liked her – believing ‘no woman is good enough for her son’. She added: “As a couple who are still ‘in the honeymoon stage’ we had sex very frequently. Every day, even up to twice a day. This changed when my mother-in-law arrived, since the apartment is small so I didn’t feel comfortable doing it with her living there.

“The thing is that when I did have sex with my husband, my mother-in-law magically ‘interrupted us’. It didn’t matter what time it was, even if it was 3am 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.
“This has been going on since my mother-in-law moved in with us, it’s been a stressful seven months. Besides, I have no privacy of any kind, she criticises everything I do, especially my food.”
But now, her mother-in-law has employed a new tactic to try to put a wedge between the newlyweds, claiming she has been stealing from her. She said: “What really annoyed me was the fact that she started saying that several things of value and money were lost in her room casually the day I stayed at home. (I had the day off from work and study in the afternoons).
“I really got fed up, I told my husband that this really wasn’t what I expected. I agreed to let her move in with us because my father-in-law passed away and I was really trying to be empathetic to her and her pain, but I’m not going to let her call me a thief.
“Now I’m at my 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.” Commenting on her post, one user said: “Tell hubby he has two choices. Be married to you or married to mummy.”
Another user added: “Does he really expect you to tolerate this until she dies? If so, don’t go back – it’s soul-destroying. If he moves her out and pretty far away (not next door, for example) you can consider going back.” A third user said: “Don’t go back until your mother-in-law leaves your apartment.”
