9.Your in-laws are trying to turn you and your spouse against each other.
Is one thing having to deal with unfriendly or unsupportive in-laws, but when they’re trying to turn you and your spouse against each other, things get a whole lot more serious. While it can be hard to understand that this type of person really exists, some in-laws are actually trying to destroy their son’s/daughter’s marriage.
Even more, some of them ask their children to pick a side between them and their spouse, making the situation even more challenging and unfair. These in-laws will also speak badly of their daughter-in-law in front of others. The only thing you can do in this situation is not giving them satisfaction by taking the bait.
After all, you probably know your spouse better than this, so there’s nothing they can say to change your mind. If your mother-in-law is trying to manipulate you by sharing with you something about your spouse’s ex-partner, you need to listen to your instinct and not believe everything she says.
