Today, I got sick of my in-laws always dropping by when my husband was out. Turns out he asked them to check I didn’t have anyone there. When I confronted him, he created a new “rule”. I can either have my mother-in-law stay full time or I can stay at their house until he gets off work. No, I’ve never cheated. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I went over to confront my parents about how my siblings always get to visit and all I do when I’m over is work on their house or take care of grandma. My mom was very upset. Then she snuck out with my sister, leaving me to take care of grandma until she got back. FML
Today, I got a call from my mom-in-law saying I have to buy my own food. I took 3 weeks off on unpaid vacation and came out of state to watch my in-laws' house and dog sit while they go out of country. I'm not allowed to touch their food, even the spoiling stuff. My husband doesn't believe me. FML
Today, and since we've had our baby, my mother-in-law started coming round more often, then bringing her stuff to stay overnight, then started claiming she lived here, and got hysterical when we told her she doesn’t. I had to pick her up and place her outside while she punched me in the head repeatedly. FML
Today, my mother-in-law told my fiancé that I had to leave and wasn’t allowed to live there anymore. I own the house. She’s mad because I locked the door so she couldn't walk in anytime she wanted. FML
Today, I was talking to my mom about how my fiancé has been ignoring me and that I didn't know why. Turns out, my mother told him that I was too much of a handful, was mentally disturbed and also cheating on him. Just so I wouldn't move out and would keep cleaning her house for free. FML
Today, my husband has been out partying all night. While my in-laws didn't ask him a single question, earlier I received more than six calls from them about when I'll be home to cook and clean. Where was I? In the office for the first time after working from home for past 3 years. FML
Today, my husband caught me sneaking out of his parents' house to get food. I love my in-laws, they’re the type of people others dream of having, but the food is so horrible. I don’t understand how in such a large family of amazing people not one of them has figured out how to make a decent meal. FML
Today, and ever since we announced our pregnancy, my mother-in-law has invaded our home, taken over my hobby room, and tries to run our lives. I tried to go to the pub for a pint, one solitary pint, and she came and dragged me out by my ear, because "drinking is a sin", and I hadn’t done the dishes yet. FML
Today, my in-laws invited themselves to stay at my house for a few days. They live out of state and have been self-quarantining for months. The reason for visiting? So they can throw a party for extended family at our house. Guess who'll end up doing all the work and clean up? FML
Today, I came home after a long day at work to find the furniture in my living room had been rearranged by my mother-in-law. When asked how she got in, she told us she stole my husband's key and made herself a copy. She can now come here whenever she wants, unless I change the locks. FML

Google 'Coercive control' then call an abuse helpline to professionally confirm that your 'husband' is an absolutely massive, dripping arsehole. You need to get the hell away from this bunny boiler and his family. There's no talking to or reasoning with this kind of crazy so don't bother. Just Document everything for the divorce and get yourself out safely.

one of THE biggest parts of marriage is trust. you're serving a jail sentence. if you're recently married, run now cuz he'll only get worse. if you've been married for a while then go to marriage counseling to find out why this has started happening. the fact that his parents are in on it is not a good sign. I suggest you seriously get a plan together to get out. seek out advice from a layer, document everything and if you have to, contact local law enforcement for a safe escape. good luck!

Hahahah, holy shit, what a massive controlling douche. No, YOU tell HIM that either he cuts that shit out and gets a grip on his massive insecurities and need for control, via therapy if he has to, or you're out. I generally don't like ultimatums, but damn, does this situation warrant one. If you let him have his way you will never, ever be allowed to be you again.
that dude you know 4
hmmmm… something smells fishy here… never cheated, or haven’t been caught yet? there’s a reason he’s not trusting you and I see everyone’s failing to mention that….

Or he's projecting. He's cheating and, since he does it, everyone does, but only he is "allowed" to do it. Or he's just a total piece of shit.

Seems like @that dude you know is projecting too.

Buddy that’s some Olympics gold mental gymnastics. Controlling people don’t need a reason or even common sense to fly off the handle.
