Today, my mother-in-law grounded me because I went to the store in the "dangerous" rain. My husband says that if I don't obey then we won't work out. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

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 parents grounded me because I refused to do my little sister's homework for her. FML

Today, my mom lost an argument and tried to ground me. I’m 43 years-old and own my own house, so yes, she actually tried to tell me to stay grounded in my own house. FML

Well said, except she should cheat on him first, nothing quite as exciting as good 'ole adultry sex. Besides then she can tell momma her boy don't know how to take care of a lady any how.

You're an adult, you're married, and you're letting your mother-in-law boss you around---- nonetheless GROUND you? I can't see how this is anything but a YDI. You LET yourself be bossed around. If you don't want to take her orders, don't. You're an adult, and she's not your parent. Also, surely you must have met her before you got married, so you had some idea what she was like. I'm assuming that you and your husband are living with his mother. Give him an ultimatum: Either you guys move out of his mother's house and find a new place to stay (maybe at a friend's house for a month or two if you can't afford your own place), or you divorce him.
