Has anyone gotten a divorce because of their mother in law?

Definitely. My ex never "cut the cord" and is so far up his mother's butt that I don't see how he can breathe. I tell you what, your best option is to leave him, get a good attorney and file first. You don't want to be with a guy who is willing to throw away his marriage because mommy told him to. He obviously doesn't love you and I know that's harsh and it hurts but look at the situation....that's outrageous! He is not man enough to stick with your relationship for the long haul. You should definitely get away and file now because trust me, once she convinces him to leave it is going to get nasty with his mom egging things on. I feel for ya, good luck!

In all honestly if your husband divorces you because his mother says you arent to her likeing then. You may be better off

When you two got married it was to each other, no one else. When you two got married, you both took a vow for each other only. A vow that ment only YOUR opinon should matter to him. And only HIS should matter to you.

You both forsook anyone else's idea's and belief's to be united and become one person, because you where in love.

If he is really considering a divorce you should really ask him, is it somthing he came up with and reiterated to his mother. Ask him what about the marrige that is makeing him unhappy and see if changes can be made to make the situation better.

Or is he letting someone who supposedly loves and cares about him Dictate his life and actions?

The real question to ask him is he a man or a mouse? Allowing your mom to order you around when suppose to be a mature grown man, is not the actions of a mature grown man. Its the actions of an unsure boy, who needs his mother to aprove every step he takes. In which case mom didnt do her job in the first place.

Remind him of that, if he chooses his mom over you that will be fine. He can move back in with her and let her take care of him like that child he is. And he will live with her the rest of his life because NO woman can respect and honnor a man who gives up a woman HE made his wife over the whim of his mother

I hope I help

Those pesky in-laws! Tell him not to be a momma's boy for crying out loud. My wife is from Iran and her parents come and stay with us every year for 9 months. Tough to take even though they are nice people. I could see where a divorce could happen if the family has a lot of influence on him. Doesn't sound like he is very independent. Tell him to go right ahead and listen to mommy cos you don't want a baby for a husband...as long as you don't have kids.

Ugh. What a controlling b*tch! That's bad. She has no doubt given him an ultimatum--you or her. That kind of manipulative behavior on her part is reason enough for him to minimize his contact with her. But given that he's considering divorcing you because his mommy doesn't like you, it looks like he is not a man of strong character. You might have to consider the option that you'd be better off without him, in such a case. Oh, and in case you want to look on the lighter side a bit: you might want to watch the TV series Sex and the City. There's a character, Charlotte, whose mother-in-law ruins her marriage.

The BIIAATCH is no longer in control! We are going through counseling right now. Right off the back, our therapist told him that it would be detrimental if he did not set boundaries with his mother. She can talk to him about the weather, what she ate for dinner, and ask him how he is doing, but she cannot talk about our family. She is a racist anyway, i dont care. The way I see it...no one will be good enough for her son. HA! This bomb diggity married him, so she can piss the F-OFF! Anyway, It was that, or straight up, he was going to lose me. HE talked about how unhealthy it is to speak to her about any marital affairs we have.

She doesnt even call my house. She calls his work.

Tell her to cut the damn umbilical cord already!!!!

I've never considered divorcing my husband because of his mother, even though I've imagined myself moving away and never contacting her EVER!

And he's never considered divorcing me either, even though his father believes that I forced him to marry me after 2 years of dating, and that I am not good enough for his son (he's told me to my face ofc)

I'm sorry that you are going through this. You need to sit your husband down and have a good heart to heart conversation about this. Get any doubt out of each others minds, because if you don't, his mother is going to hold this over your head until you either divorce your husband, or she dies.

I'm sorry to hear this is happening to you. But there are a lot of people out there with Mommy issues and it can really mess up a marriage. I would discuss things with hubby and tell him he needs to decide how important this marriage is to him because even though you respect the fact that she is his mother and she plays and important part in his life she doesn't make important descisions in your marriage and lives together and you shouldn't have to worry about her being part of your marriage in that way. Communications is very important part of married life however tred lightly the Mommy button is a very loaded button.

sounds like someone needs to cut the umbilical cord! I could never be with such a mommas boy. Sounds like they deserve to enjoy a long lonely life with each other. If your husband is seriously considering divorce over this, get out now while your dignity is still intact.

when your husband do it coz your mother in law told him that there is nothing that u can do but to move on coz u married a loser. dont keep this kind of a husband coz u will never have a happy lilfe with your husband. he is not worthy enough for you to keep...leave him .....go and move on...find your happiness...

You might want to start counting yur blessing now.

If he choses mama over you now, heaven forbid what the future hold for you. Do you know why, besides she a meddling old fool and he's a mama's boy? Take a step back and re-evaluate this situation. til death us do part is a long time. Being happy is what most people want.
