Today, my husband told me that he's letting his mother move in with us. He told her it was alright without even consulting me first. I hate my mother-in-law so much that I'm contemplating divorce rather than living with her. FML

Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, my hate for my mother-in-law now outweighs my love for my husband. FML
Today, I can no longer tolerate my mother-in-law. She's not a bad person, but anytime she opens her mouth it is only to criticize, chastise, scold, or blame me. My husband is too terrified of her to ask her to leave our home. FML
Today, my mother-in-law asked if she could move in with us. FML
Today, my mother-in-law yelled from across the house for me to come quickly. She sounded frantic, so I rushed and asked what was wrong. She said, "Nothing." and that she just wanted to remind me that she hates my guts. She'll be living here with me and my wife for the next two months. FML
Today, my husband refused to let my mother move in with us. He said he’d rather buy her another house than let her move in, then he actually threatened divorce before he’d let her move in. He’s never been this stubborn before about anything. I don’t get it. FML
Today, I found out that my unemployed and very needy mother-in-law will be moving in with us soon. And during my conversation on the phone with her, she expects us to buy a house and my wife and I can "live with her." My wife agrees with all of this. FML
Today, my mother-in-maw informed us that she sold her house and is moving in with us so we'll "take care" of her in old age. She's in perfect health. We've only been married for 4 months. My wife can't stand her for more than 2 weeks at a time, let alone living with us. FML
Today, my boyfriend's mother told me she had fantasies about throwing him out a window when he was a baby because she was so depressed and couldn't handle the stress. The worst part is he wants to get married. She'd be my mother-in-law. 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, my husband wants a divorce and will be moving out as soon as possible because he can’t stand my mother anymore. He's tired of pushing me to stand up to her, even once, so he's done and is leaving. I’m upset he’s leaving, but I’m equally as upset he’s leaving me alone with my mother. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Her husband is the one making important decisions without even discussing them with her, which shows just how committed he is.

I hope you hate her for a good reason, otherwise you're just being irrational. FYL anyway mothers-in-law are such a pain most of the times. :(

60, I don't think the mother in law could be too bad, it's probably just the fact that wives don't like their husbands mothers in general. Im not saying this is the case for everyone, but a lot do.

I have a couple things for the OP: first, you don't have to divorce your husband to move out. You can move out while staying married. Get a little studio apartment or something. Second, you might want to divorce him anyways, if he does crap like this without consulting you regularly. That's very disrespectful.

Grow a pair and tell him NO. Not just no, HELL NO.

OP you need to sit down with your husband without shouting and discuss this. You need to tell him it is unacceptable to not even ask you first and ask him how you are both going to solve these problems. Firstly the problem of him not consulting things with you first. It sounds like if he continues to behave like this you don't want your future with him, so you need to tell him how you feel. Secondly the problem of your mother-in-law moving in. Maybe you can come to some agreement, that you will give it a trial time and if you are still not happy he has to accept that she can't live there. Or come to some mid ground like his mother in law will live close by or that she only lives in the house 3 days a week. If there is such an issue you need to calmly explain to him that you will be moving out if this goes ahead (you can move out without having to divorce your husband). Just communicate.
