Relationships
Dear Bodex: My in-laws control my husband too much
Dear Bodex,
Please, I really need your advice. My hubby & I have been married for 3 years & blessed with a baby. we courted for 4 years, but d problem here is that i’m just getting 2 know him. I’m living with a total stranger. He lost his job 3 months after our wedding. I’m presently sustaining the home with the support of his parents but then his parents are the problem we have right now. My hubby is their only son, they told him to rent an apartment very close 2 their house so that they can watch ova him & told him that they want to protect him so that he doesn’t make any mistakes. They tell him how to handle the affairs of the home. My hubby does not have a mind of his own, his parents makes d decisions, they call him anytime they want him to run errands 4 them. I never saw all these wen we were courting, he made me believe that he was his own man but what i’m seeing is a weakling who is not ready 4 marriage. His mum went as far as telling me 2 obey everything they say. She wants me to always come over to their house, wash their clothes, cook & clean without complaining or else they’ll stop rendering their support. I’ve been advising my hubby to stand up & be a man & then the day he finally made his own decision, his mum insulted me & said that i’m a bad influence on her son. She said that he no longer listens to her the way he used to & that I should stop coming close to her. I stopped going to their house because she no longer answers my greetings. They shout at me, insult me in the presence of my hubby & he does nothing about it. The job my hubby lost was secured by his parents & now he is depending on them 4 another job. I am just so tired of all these. I feel like leaving him. Please advice…
Grace
