My husband never takes a stand when my in-laws say something about me or my family. Earlier, he wouldn’t speak up on his own, and now, after his mother’s instruction, he has been told not to say anything to his father because it might cause him stress. Also, My husband often brings up incidents from the past in our marriage and uses them to criticize my family. Has anyone faced something like this in their married life? If yes, how did you handle it?

It’s tough but ignore his presence don’t expect anything like he will take stand for you. Don’t even discuss that something has happened. Just be happy in ur world. They can’t handle when wife ignores a man!! If u get hurt they will definitely feel happy don’t give them that chance

I too had similar issue. He always brings past issue and fight with me even though there is no use of discussing that topic he brings that issue whenever he feels it was like a leverage for him on me. One day I decided that I won’t share any info about my family, my work, my friends… it was difficult for me to do that in the beginning but after few months I was getting used to it. I stopped expecting any comfortable words from him, I understood that I’m not going to get any comfortable from this person. Now I don’t feel burdened, I’m not giving any advice to him about his family. I just say do what you want( in a nice tone).

From past a yr he did not get any chance to bring any fight.

Also I just said 1 thing before all the fight, “we are going start a fight and you are going to bring all my issue from past, I understood what I did wrong now I ll fix it let’s end this conversation now and move from here”

In the beginning he used to get annoyed hearing this from me. But I did not drop I was calm and persistent saying this same thing before each scenario where it may become fight now he understand that I m just trying to de escalate the situation.

Hope this helps

Keep less expectations and communicate with words.
Men don’t understand feelings or read the room like us. So just say it out loud.

Exactly

Every married girl has faced this at some point in their lives and the truth is in every marriage a point comes when it feels it’s the end and nothing will work out after this but then things become normal when you start living for yourself and focus on your own priorities .
I am recently coming out of a similar situation our marriage was falling apart because of these people but then I decided not to discuss them . For me they just don’t exist and I learned the more free you leave a guy with his opinions decisions and choices the more considerate he will be towards you it’s like flying the kite higher you need to leave the thread loose leave him on to himself when it comes to dealing with them and live your life. fulfill your responsibilities towards him realisation happens and will also Happen in your case. Wish you good luck . Live for you your parents your kids and your husband.
Rest is just a noise.
These people will never change as this is their full time job to intrude into our private space and bang us with their opinions but then who cares ? Do we ?

My sister faced the same, we thought she is not understanding them and we tried to talk to their family after that we didnt utter a word and decided not to continue the relationship, never ever seen such a family in the surroundings as well.

Such an educational family with no values and no manners at all.

Stay calm think about it and decide for yourself and never look back and regret your decision.

Usually such people never change their behaviour and most of the girls are facing these things if staying with in-laws. Better to take your stand and shift separately. Your husband may not agree initially but if he would like to keep the marriage, he'll have to.

I am saying this from my experience. My in laws also started creating issues after 2-3 months of our marriage and I also said that better to shift separately but he didn't agree to it. Handled that drama and torture for more than 2 years then I left him. We stayed separately for 2-3 months after which he agreed to shift separately.

Everyone is facing the same kind of situation husband never take wife' stand in front of their parents.
So its just not u along every girl is on same ship.

If u r right then try to understand ur husband with clear points that bcoz of this and that reason i am right.

And in many cases boys knows that its fault of their parents but as some parents are of regid nature and they knows parents will not understand thats why they ask wife to adjust with their parents.

Try to live seperately with parents and then see if things works out or not

U had love or arranged marriage?

It was a love-cum-arranged marriage. We dated for a year before getting married.

With my experience,our silence also dont work and they keep forcing their family,their parents on us and staying calm and silent in such situation is not possible,if you will try to focus on yourself then also their family will create issue by saying bad things about you to him which will create fights.its not about you,its about him..if you will control yourself but he wont change a bit then your efforts wont help much and you feel start feeling suffocated ,life will start feeling a burden..
