My MIL from hell!
Average Rating: 3.5I am a 26 year old Male. I've been married to my wonderful wife for 8 months now. I absolutely love her to the end. We dated for 7 years before deciding to get married. We realllly took our time. I really believe I have the most wonderful wife I could ask for. She puts up with me for one!
Anyway, I was a home owner before my wife and I were married. I lived in a very nice neighborhood in north central San Antonio, TX. After we got back from our honeymoon, we moved her from the apartment she was living in, into my home. Now, in all fairness, I don't believe it's fair for her to move in with me. I mean, I already lived there so it wasn't really "our" home. It was always "my" home, even though I tried very hard to make it "ours". So we decided the long hunt for finding a home we both loved. Now, my wife, as much as I love her, is very meticulous, and quite a bit picky. Small things matter to her a great deal. So we spent a great deal of time and energy looking for the perfect house. We finally found it after looking at over 2 dozen houses. I was perfect, all stucco and stone, granite counter tops, travertine floors, wrap around shower, you name it. It was perfect! But it was a bit out of our price range. Since I've worked for about 8 years in IT as a single man, I had some money stowed away. So I took about a $100k of my own money, (money I earned before getting married), and used it to purchase our dream home!!! So we finally get moved in, and we are sorting things about and buying new things for our home. It's bigger than my old house, so we have some rooms to fill with new furniture. I spent about ten thousand. We decide we'll invite my wife’s parents over to see the house. BIG MISTAKE! They loved it...the floors, counters, colors, everything!! Was wonderful to see them enjoy something we also enjoyed. BUT. the only problem was, the house next door. It was for sale.
why I did'nt consider this when buying the home in the first place, I'll never understand...I guess I wasn't expecting them to actually BUY IT! :( So a month or two go by, and they look at it a number of times. When finally I hear through the grape vine, that they have bid on it. So I pray...please don't let them win the auction for the house next door.
My prayers were not answered.
They won and within a month they were there. less than 100 feet from us at any given day. Breathing the same air, looking at the same beautiful view, feeling the same sun rays. Almost the same exact sunrays. Now, I'm treated as a child in my own home by my inlaws... I don't want to blow up at them. but don't know what to do..
WHO THE HECK BUYS A HOUSE NEXT TO YOUR DAUGHTER, WHO HASN'T EVEN BEEN MARRIED FOR A YEAR YET!?!???.
Apparently these people do. They are highly disfunctional.
What do I DO??? Please help???!!! MOVE? Why should I, we purchased the home first...it just isn't fair.
