Meddling Future Mothers-in-law

Quote From: emquiltin

I dont know if any one can beat the step mother in law I have. she lied to the entire family instigates fights and tape records conversations 

 Im getting married to a wonderful guy in a few months but what is supposed to be an exiciting time with all the planning and preparation, is spoiled by my MIL and SIL.  They have both spent years voicing their opinions and saying exactly what they think whether the other person likes it or not, well I had gotten to the point where enough was enough and I decided to voice my opinion and how they were making me feel.  Needless to say the MIL and SIL are now playing the victim and creating merry hell and how they are not coming to the wedding etc etc.  My partner has been extremely supportive towards me but I hate seeing him upset by it all but I refuse to apologise because I didnt say anything that was not true.  I did however stress the point that there are only two people in a marriage not three and that unless we want advise dont give it as more often than not it becomes destructive and not constructive, I did finish off by saying I have to set boundaries for both sets of families and hope we can move forward from here, but my MIL said it felt like someone had stepped on her neck, is it more like I stepped on her toes??, has she met someone that will not take their bullying and put up with their interference maybe?  what do you think I would be interested in your comments

My mother in law is constantly in our business telling us how marriages are supposed to be and im doing this wrong and doing that wrong. Shes gone as far as to start fights between my husband and I telling me one thing that he supposibly said vise versa cause a HUGE fight between us. It got to the point where I was about to divorce my husband cause I couldnt take the stress anymore. Our marriage wasnt a marriage with her around we never had alone time cause she was always over. Always picking at me saying I need to clean more, and i keep a clean house. Now I was grown up to respect my elders but this woman I have given my mind to more times than I like to admit. Imagine being told u dont like ur nieces and nephews ALL because u just had a healthy little baby in dead winter and their all sick and I "hate" them all because I didnt want sick kids coming to see my baby right after we got home from delivering her! Needless to say we had to move because I honestly wouldnt still be married to my husband if we had stayed in the same town as her!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
