Get the **** out
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 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

Today, my husband and my mother's hatred of each other has got so bad, I wasn’t aware of why until now. She was his headmistress in high school, then they had an affair while he was at university, shortly before he met me at a Starbucks and dumped her without knowing I was her daughter. FML

Today, my mother in law likes to baby my partner. Gets him drinks, kisses him on the forehead, talks to him like he's 8, does everything for him. And she gives me death stares, especially when she hugs him when I'm around. FML

Today, everything that was beautiful and pure in my life turned into a terrible, warped version of what it once was. Today, I lost all hope and no longer believe that life, although sometimes shitty, is sweet and worth living. Today, I met my mother-in-law. FML

Today, I'd always suspected my mother-in-law hated me. My suspicions were confirmed when I went to pick up my son from her house after work. She smiled smugly and let me know that he’d been asleep since noon. It’s after 5. He’s never going to get back to sleep now. FML

All over the place
Today, I visited my in-laws, whom I thought I was on great terms with. I soon learned that wasn't the case when my mother-in-law yelled at me about how I've been abusing her for years. Ten minutes later, she hugged me and asked me for grandkids. FML

There's only one sensible solution to this problem. Go over to her house and shit in her mailbox.

There's a subreddit called "justnoMIL" which might be of interest to you if you aren't already acquainted. I hope you'll be okay.

This is an extreme case but so often do I read woman vs woman conflict. Why can't people just get along? If you make her son happy, what more could she want? Bitch.

Wouldn't you have known about how much of a cow she was before you got married? YDI. Try to work on it.

You obviously have no idea how often people that are abuser's manage to pretend to be decent human beings. It's a big part of the "courting" and "desensitization" process they put their victims through. Even if OP's MIL isn't an abuser, she very easily could have hidden her uglier side by pretending that she was different. It's also possible that things have fundamentally changed in the relationship like the MIL having a career change, them living closer to each other as the result of something, or OP's husband could have stopped redirecting his mother's attention from OP. If the MIL is the antagonist here, she's at fault, not OP, unless OP did something intentionally harmful to the MIL or OP's husband.

If you're willing to leave your marriage over your mother-in-law, your husband is the problem not her.
