HI there,

I left a post a while back,under the same name,but I think I may of deleted it or something.
It was about my wife and I and that we have been married for 4 years and she wanted to leave the UK for Russia,her native country.
I just wanted to say a big thank you for all the help and good advice I got from this website.
We have started talking and working things out,I am not such an idiot and now pay my wife lots of attention.
All I need to do now is sort out the mother in law,that will be much harder I think.

They send a confirmation email — if you reply to it then the account remains open. Which is a useful thing if this site is at all helpful to you.

Thanbks…
Well she aint too happy that I married her daughter,she also likes to rule the roost,in everything.My wife sees this but mil told her that she will live her life the way the mil wants or mil will cut off her daughter.
My wife has a brother who is also married and guess what,mil dont get on with his wife either,Could be a pattern here.
This is the e-mail I got off my wife when she went home last year.
> dear scouser147,I miss you here.And problems with my mum drive me crazy. I think I wont survive.it’s too hard for me.She can’t accept my decision.And keeps on telling me the same things. I don;t know what to do. No idea. I shall feel awful if I leave you and the same way if I ;ll do it with my mum. I hate it. she gave me a choice. Her or you .But if I choose you it will kill her. It was the same story today,yesterday and two days ago..You should give me an advice cause I’m lost,I ‘m confused. And very painful I think is that it;s my mum and yours problem but I am tormenting. I won;t be able to settle this problem alone but both of you don;t want it.Today she has said again that i had no home no mother any more.She blackmails me repeating she will die without me.And you know her attitude to you.So I can;t see and make any sollution. Because if I leave her like this I will never forgive myself.
> > I can/t stop thinking about this. All the time .every minite. I need help………………….
I sent this letter to the wrong adress. Please don’t offend that i don’t text very often. I have no mobile and my father always works that’s why I can’t use his phone often.
I miss you very much.i miss you hugs ,kisses, your smile your jokes. I need you. But all my parents tell me that i can;t leave my mother. She is ill she loves me too much . I have only one idea: you move to Russia or she lives with us . But you will never agree with this one . I feel so awful now, so depressed. If you have any ideas what to do please tell me.
i ;ll check the internet tomorrow.
If you want you can write a letter t her. It may help. But i don;t know.
I’ll wait for yur e-mail
> > I love you
> > wife

wow, that’s rough. Well I don’t know what to tell you….maybe write to her mother and tell her how much you love her daughter and want to make her happy and support her in any ways she needs it and that you want to get along with her especially for the sake of her daughter.

Very rough.
Was thinking of poison,then bury her under the patio.
I will write her a letter,I have done so once before.
I just think of her as a bully who wants her own way in everything.
She she been spending 6 months of the year with us,all he does is stay in her room,never comes out.
I will be talking to my wife again and trying to get it cut down from 6 months,as I think it is way tooo long.As we only have a two bedroom flat and it stops friends or family comming to stay with us.

I’m sorry. That sucks. There has to be some form of compromise between the 3 of you or you will all go crazy. I think your wife needs to realize that she can’t let her mother run her life. She’s an adult. it’s ridiculous!

Hi Scouser. I’m glad to hear things are better with your wife. Maybe between the two of you, you can come up with a solution to the MIL. As I told you a few years back, that 2 week holiday could turn into something sinister…seems it did.

Can you talk to your brother in law’s wife and see what she thinks? She may just toe the line, but she may also have a solution to the stress of dealing with MIL.

What about talking to your father in law, asking him to intervene on your behalf?
Traditional Russian marriage has the man ruling the roost.
Mind you, if she’s as bad as you say, maybe it’s a blessing in disguise for FIL that she’s staying with you? hehe

You could always send an anonymous letter to MI5, suggesting there’s a spy in your town….
