@Trevy Your wife is the best link between you and your MIL. I have my own set of issues regarding the R/ship between my mum and wife, however, I managed to resolve it and hope for the best moving on. I agree with @adhd.dad to soften with your wife, spend time with her and build on both of...

I am a husband too and I agree with @bunnyloverz to talk with your husband. If your husband loves you, he has to make effort to ease your insecurities. I know it is kinda spoil market cause my wife has full access to my mobile. However, that makes it hard to arrange surprises for her. haha :p

Thanks again @adhd.dad. You are of great help

I guess it is a common issue between MIL & DIL regardless which culture we are in, I have done some reading up online for advice to deal with mine. The interesting thing is the only link is the husband/son. One think husband have be learn is to make his wife his priority, but don’t leave his...

Thank you so much. you all gave me the support i need. I was a little unsure but managed to take the first step out after pouring my heart here and with all of your encourgement

It is really sad to hear that divorce is one of the options in your mind. However, it is true that kids will be the suffering end. I pray that your hubby will wake up his idea and be supportive to create a happier family. People may say that i follow and listen to my wife as though i do not have...

Just to update all kind souls that gave me great advice and support. I managed to have a chat with my mum yesterday and all went well. We are able to sort out our misunderstanding. Hopefully this will continue and moving on, my wife and I have to see how we can improve the relationship further...

Saw this online, what you all think? Make your new wife your priority, but don’t leave your mother out. Talk with her, and tell her that you love your wife, and you need her support helping her feel welcome. When your wife has concerns, listen to her. Don’t become defensive, but rather try to...

@Saddness I feel for you. It is sad that some in laws still have the traditional mindset of boy are more superior. I always reassure my wife that regardless son or daughters, they are equally precious to me. However, she is the one most precious to me ;) No matter how bad the relationship...

@adhd.dad I understand where you coming from. I have to agree our parents went through a lot to bring us up. It is this thought that my wife and I have that made us stay with her till our house arrive. There's no dummy guides for parents and every parent went though the learning curve. My wife...

@lynx_sea Yes I will have a good chat with her and we will see. I am prepared to face the worse though. Just hope she will see that what matters most is not the 'face' but the people around her. She is too affected by how others see her and wanna portray a false image to others and ignoring all...

@lynx_sea I am not close with my sis, she has her own attitude and self-center-ness like my mum. As i have mentioned she tried to be a mediator for my mum by saying the wedding is not for couples but to inform everyone we are married. So basically, it is not about how the couples want the...

@adhd.dad Old school as in?

@adhd.dad Haha ya, when young, I see my mum is a strong independent woman. As i grow up, i see more flaws in her - not meaning what she said, blame others for things go wrong, 3-mins attitude in the things she wanna do, weird logic just to get her way. Once, i was planning to go pasir ris NTUC...

@adhd.dad That is what i thought initially. Time to time we try to give both my parents attention like initiating places to bring them go eat. However, was turned down most of the time with her giving reason like tired or no wanna wait for dad to end work. There was once when we offered to...
