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. :(

guess you have no respect for the sanctity of marriage. divorcing your husband because you hate his mother is a piss poor excuse he's probably better off without you

respect for the sanctity of marriage? that goes both ways and making important decisions without even consulting your spouse is complete disrespect.

How is torturing your wife respecting the sanctity of marriage? I'm the last person on earth to say "get a divorce" and I wouldn't say it here because we don't his reaction to the discussion they obviously had. However, you do have to draw a line somewhere and if your life is such that you don't have any happiness then a divorce is in order. I love my MIL luckily, but if I was in OPs shoes, I'd tell him if she moves in, I move out. Marriage is about compromise and there was obviously no compromise here. He's not respecting the sanctity of marriage either.

no one knows the full story. He could do this all the time. he could not. WE DON'T KNOW. Plus i get the impression OP was saying she hates her mother in law more than divorcing her husband, rather than she is getting a divorce over this one thing.

I have to completely agree with this writer!! I truly would divorce my husband if he did this to me! (He never would because he hates her as much as I do!) Every one of you that is saying she I jumping the gun has no idea what this woman did to her! I know mine cost us our home 3 times + kids!!

I would talk to him first.. if he is still going to bring her in then that's when you would be right to leave him.... so sorry this is happening to you. I have a feeling this will being happening to me at some point too. hope not..
