My mother-in-law does not allow me sleep with my husband, she knocks our room door every night

The lady has expressed her frustration on social media regarding her mother-in-law’s intrusive behavior, specifically how her mother-in-law has restricted her from sleeping with her husband.

In a post shared on Reddit, she detailed her struggles with her mother-in-law, who moved in with her and her husband.

She lamented the lack of privacy and the interference in her daily life, which has made it difficult for her to Enjoy her matrimonial home peacefully. 

She wrote: “My husband and I got married a year ago. He and I didn’t live together before, in fact we hardly saw each other because we both worked and studied at the same time, so our time was quite limited. We got married and went to live together in his apartment.

Unfortunately two months after our wedding his father died in an accident. My mother-in-law and my husband (who is an only child) were devastated as it was quite sudden.

My mother-in-law, left alone, began to suggest to my husband that we move with her to her house to keep her company, but because she is from another state we couldn’t due to our jobs and college.

Then she came to us, our apartment is 2 rooms, so my mother-in-law occupied one and my husband and I occupied another.

I mean my mother-in-law never liked me. She is one of the mothers who think “that no woman is good enough for her son.”

As a couple who are still “in the honeymoon stage” we had sex very frequently. Every day, even up to twice a day. This changed when my mother-in-law arrived, since the apartment is small so I didn’t feel comfortable doing it with her living there.

The thing is that when we did have sex with my husband, my mother-in-law magically “interrupted us.” It didn’t matter what time it was, even if it was 3 AM she casually got up and knocked on our door asking “What are we doing?” Or telling my husband that she feels bad because her head hurts or things like that.

This has been going on since my mother-in-law moved in with us, it’s been a stressful 7 months. Besides, I have no privacy of any kind, she criticizes everything I do, especially my food.

My husband tries to give me my place, saying things like: “it’s not true mom, the food tastes good.”

What really annoyed me was the fact that she started saying that several things of value and money were lost in her room casually the day I stayed at home. (I had the day off from work and study in the afternoons)

I really got fed up, I told my husband that this really wasn’t what I expected. I agreed to let her move in with us because my father-in-law passed away and I was really trying to be empathetic to her and her pain, but I’m not going to let her call me a thief.

Now I’m at my parents’ house, my husband keeps calling me and sending me messages to come back, but I don’t know what to do anymore. This is really stressful.”
