Is Your Mother-in-Law Ruining Your Relationship?

This viewer wants her mom-in-law to shut it. Can you relate?

[HKDHCR]

Anyone else notice how uncomfortably close the mom is to her son

[jaydefreeman]

Sometimes these mothers hate the fact that their sons no longer need them and that they are no longer number one. They are jealous as hell and its so wrong. I have seen this done personally. It can cause alot of stress for the daughter in law especially if the mother is evil enough to lie to other and ruin the way that his family sees her and again i seen this and she was insanely attacked because of these lies and now she has worse depression panic disorder and it lasted for years

I love the way he stood up for his woman.

I would put up with that mother for about 0.02 secondes. The man should be setting boundaries for his mother, he should control his mother. I can't deal with over controlling people, if you nag about every single thing someone does, you might as well go ahead and marry your son.

[reneehilscher]

Both his wife and mother are controlling, and this guy is a spineless doormat.

And mother-in-law KNOWS she is putting her son in a difficult position, knows he won't take sides. She tries to weaken the woman. And acts innocent. It's manipulative.

These kind of mother's think they OWN their sons. He's an ADULT, who equal to you and every other human being on the planet...he's not your little puppy. Show him don't respect. I can't believe that she is jealous that he grew up and doesn't need his mom anymore.

Between two ladies, Ultimately it is the man fault !

[mahtazdin]

I thinking the mother in law. love them both. but jealous deep down. that he is not her anymore.

[nybsbfan]

they need to go to counseling so they can fight fair, and he needs to tell his mom to back off! i hope they don't all live together!?!

[vliciouss]

My grandparents did not like my mother for years. My father told his parents that he put my mom first & didn't care to stop talking to them. It all depends I guess. My grandma loves my mother very much & dropped that act 4 years into my parents being together.

The lesson learned from this: Keep the boundaries and bottom lines of your relationship set deep in stone. Most important lesson; Keep your mother out of relationship and your business by any means necessary. No exceptions or excuses. TD Jakes famously said about marriage: “You cannot cleave, if you do not leave.

[freakinusername]

I’m sorry, if I was him I would move across the world as far as possible from the mom

[Evilkitty]

Of all the people they could have gotten, couldn't they have gotten an ACTUAL married couple. The younger woman should get out of this before she ties the knot. The guy seems to feel the need to explain what his mother means when she's just being aggravating. What a joke! She can do way better than this.

[maamedansowaa]

How in the hell is Betheny giving marriage advice when she wasn't able to keep her own marriage together 🙄🙄

[faithlovehope]

Tell the mom every tree that doesn't produce good fruit is cast down into the fire.

[lisagreen]

Who died and made Bethenny Dr. Jenn? IMO she should bring a PROFESSIONAL on her show and allow him/her to facilitate the conversation....she is not equipped, just saying!!

[karenlacey]

Why are we surprised when a guy/girl who grows up with a parent's runs out and marries a controlling spouse? They feel at home with them but then it turns into a fight between controlling spouse/parent/s while the passive person just lays down and plays dead, to avoid conflict.

[larrybien]

WHEN MARRIED THE WIFE LEAVES THE PARENTS, AND THE MARRIED COUPLE LEAVES THE PARENTS, THE PARENTS NEED TO STICK THEIR NOSES OUT OF IT ALL.THE PARENTS SHOULD LET THE NEW COUPLE GROW TOGETHER, BUT I FIND THE WOMAN, USUALLY RUNS BACK TO THOSE WHOM SPOILED HER WHOLE LIFE, THE HUSBAND WILL BE THE FAULT LINE WHEN IN FACT ITS HER PARENTS, THAT SPOILED HER

[blitzkrieg]

This relationship will not work out. Mother in law is very jealous, possessive and controlling. Son is a weak man who is obviously dominated by his mother. Mother is lonely and needs to get her own man or become VERY busy with life and things that she enjoys, so she can BACK I don't see how this can ever work out. I would run for the hills if someone showed that much dislike for me. This is sad. This man allowed his mother to control him for years before it got to this extreme point. Not sure if it could ever be reversed. Boundaries are not going to work now at this point. This mother hates her son's future bride and adamantly shows it. If he wants his marriage to work out, he will have to move far away and sever ties with his mother.
