She’s Threatening To Leave Her Husband If They Don’t Move Out Of His Parent’s House Since They Treat Her Like A Live-In Servant And Constantly Criticize Her
This 34-year-old woman and her husband, who’s 36, have been together for five years, and last year, they encountered some financial problems. This forced them to move in with her in-laws as a temporary solution.
“And at first, I was honestly grateful. But now, it’s been almost a year, and I feel like I’m suffocating,” she admitted.
According to her, her husband’s parents are super stressful to live with. They criticize her about everything, from how she dresses and cooks to how she cares for her 8-year-old son, who has autism. She feels like, no matter what she does, it’s never enough for her in-laws.
On top of that, they take advantage of her as if she’s a live-in servant. She isn’t able to sit down for five short minutes without her in-laws asking, or rather expecting, her to do something.
“They want coffee? Guess who’s getting it. Do they need something from the store? I’m the one running the errand,” she explained.
“I’m tired and feel like I’m walking on eggshells constantly.”
She has tried speaking to her husband about how uncomfortable she is, too, yet he always brushes off her concerns. He believes his parents are “old school” and that they should just be thankful they got to stay at his parent’s house when they needed help.
She clarified that she was grateful for their assistance. However, as of now, she and her husband are fine with money and have the ability to start a new chapter.
“Financially, we could afford to get our own place. When I mention moving out, though, he just says we should wait a little longer. But for how long? I feel like I’m reaching my breaking point,” she detailed.

A few more remarks her in-laws made the other day were her last straw as well. First, her mother-in-law stated that she didn’t do enough around the house, which she found “laughable.” Then, her father-in-law had the nerve to state that she “lucked out” by marrying their son.
She was furious but kept her cool in the moment. She waited to talk to her husband until later that night when she gave him an ultimatum.
More specifically, she claimed that if they didn’t move out of his parent’s home by the end of the month, she would pack up and leave with or without him.
Her husband was shocked and accused her of being dramatic and unappreciative. He’s also upset that she’d force him to make such a choice.
“I love him, and I don’t want to end our marriage, but I just can’t live like this anymore,” she vented.
Still, she can’t help but wonder if threatening to leave her husband if they don’t get their own place was really so unreasonable or not.
Could you survive living with in-laws like that? What advice would you give her?
