? I can understand expecting him to stick up for you when they’re rude, but in normal situations why do women get mad when their husband is close to his mom and sister.

Just because they do. A wife should be the main woman in any man's life.  If you are a mature adult male you should not need mommy to tie your shoes, do it your damn self!  A mother always wants to feel needed. I'll tell you what I am learning NOT to do with my boys' wives when they get married. Put your wife's concerns at the top of the list and you will keep yourself out of the DOG HOUSE guaranteed!!!

Hopefully your husband wants your help and isn't putting out signals to attract this type of attention.  That's another whole problem altogether.\n\nBut what I would do if this is just some ordinary floozy putting the moves on your guy--and I've seen this done very well--is to go up to them and join the conversation with the attitude conveying complete confidence that you are welcome in the conversation.  HE will welcome you, right, even if she won't?  Maybe put your arm around your husband.  If he becomes standoffish, again, that's a problem; he needs to welcome you into the conversation.\n\nThen be sweet as pie to her.  Ask her about herself.  Take an interest.  Never betray that you are anything but completely assured of your wonderful relationship with your husband.  Ideally, bore her with prattle until she leaves on her own (getting her to excuse herself from you two is the best way, it's a much stronger position than walking away).  It doesn't matter if she's interested in you, believe me, in fact, use the fact that she isn't!  Then stay nearby your husband in case she comes back.  If you can't bore her to death, you and hubby will have to excuse yourself from her company and move on.  \n\nIf she gets too pushy or nasty to you personally, say something very pointed in a very nice tone (like "peddle your wares to someone who's interested, honey").  But never, NEVER get bitchy.  It's beneath you.

its hard because women get upset when a man says I am tired then she gets even more upset and starts thinking there is something wrong with her also if your man is suffering from a lot of stress he may not be able to get into the mood as well there are a lot of reasons why men cant express them selves either could be there upbringing maybe dad didn't show mom a lot of affection and it just rubbed of on him

Some jitters and questioning are normal and I do not think you are over the top on that. There are things you may want to change about yourself by not nagging as much. All men are moody and only you know if you will be happier with him. The mother in law issue could bring real unhappiness and she is way over the top. I have to ask myself why he would tolerate her screaming at you. You are marrying a family as well as your husband.

I do have a good relationship with my husbands sister. At times we get on each others nerves but I think that's mostly because we do talk ALOT and see each other ALOT! Maybe too much at times. She's younger than I am and never had a sister. I've never had a sister so it's kinda nice at times. Sometimes she's alittle overwhelming but over all she's a sweet girl. \n\nMy brothers wife, We don't talk much at all. It's not that we don't get along.. it's mostly that we don't have much in common. She can be very sweet but she can also be very judgemental. She annoys me when she becomes judgemental about my family or something like that but over all when we see each other we're nice to each other.  I wouldn't say we're close at all though.

yeah...myhusband nags more than i do, and im the woman!  he gets mad about EVERYTHING.  helping me with the garbage, with dishes, cleaning, always looking over my shoulder and asking my why im doing what im doing and getting mad because i tell hi to leave me the hell alone or dont answer.   whats up with it?!

First off, yes Oh my gosh I get so pissed at my husband for the smallest things.  I think it is because we become so comfortable with them, and they are constantly in the same living space as we are, that you can't bottle every little irritation up you have to let it out otherwise you might explode one day and not be married anymore.

FYI once you have that baby that waiting on him hand and foot thing is gonna stop real quick. I have heard that men get jealous of the attention that the pregnant mother/new baby gets. Question did he act like this before? If so why on earth are you even this deep in this relationship in the 1st place!

I'm not sure I understand...\nIs it the fact that he uses you as a sounding board about his sister that bugs you, or is it the fact that she can get away with things that you cant and he'll still love her?\nRealize that for a lot of people are trained as kids to put family first, and the fact that he cares so much about his sister (regardless of her behavior) says a lot about his character. He sounds like a good guy, and he's probably confused about why you are so upset.\nIf you want to not hear about her anymore, then ask him not to talk about her when you are together, or change the subject when he brings her up. \nYou may also want to figure out why you hate her so much...she doesnt seem to have done anything directly to you, has she?

I have been with my husband for 6 years all of which we have got along. She does not raise her voice in anger(maybe to grandkids). But I have never seen her argue with my husband.She is probably what everyone would want in a mother in law, she minds her own business and if her son is in the wrong she takes my side and tells him what he is doing wrong. SHe is not judgemental on how clean my house is or how is raise my kids. THe only advice I get is to do with the kids health when they are sick. \n\nMy mom takes my husbands side, so therefore it's like my mom  in law is more of a mom than my own.

I am sorry girl but it was disrespectful.  I dont blame him for getting mad...you made him look like an ass infront of his whole family.  Now they think that you are a bad person and if you love him you will have to prove yourself to him.  If not find another man.

Everyone goes through mood swings.  Guys aren't the only ones who are rude and mean - women do it too.  The key is communication between eachother so you know how eachother is feeling.  If your husband is just mean and grumpy for no good reason he might be dealing with some things inside of him that he isn't willing to share with you.  Either way, if it bothers you and you can't talk it out - there is nothing wrong with getting into marriage counseling.

I would have to say that it is quite common to have a mother-in-law that gets on your nerves.  It is best to stay on her good side though and keep biting your tongue.  Be the better person.  It's hard but it's for the best.  Good Luck.

Inlaws are bullies against their daughter inlaws usually because their sons don't stand up for their wives.  Any man worth his salt should stand up for the committment he made to be joined with his wife.  That means he has to let go of being tethered to his parents apron strings.  Good luck.

not all women are like that. we get upset at things that are bothersome or hurt our feelings. if we know youre trying to get us upset then we dont really care.

Why waste your time confronting her when it is him that your really mad at.  She didn't force your husband to cheat with her, she just happened to be the one he cheated with.  After all, who knows what story your husband told her.

Mothers don't stop being mothers just because their daughters grow up and get married. They just aren't wired that way. It might help to talk with your mom about how you and your husband feel when she shows annoyance. Do this when things are calm, not in the heat of the moment. It might also help for you and your husband to talk about how you can enjoy each other and your relationship more privately so that your mom is not exposed to your husband's playfulness.\n\nYou might also just have to learn to live with it and not let it get to you. You can probably figure out a response to your mom that doesn't escalate the stress level. Let her know that you're glad she cares about how you are treated, but that you are comfortable with the way your relationship with your husband works.
