“My husband defends his mother’s rude attitude towards me”

Query: My husband is a sweet man but he has sudden bouts of ‘mommy love’ and they can be very humiliating at times. His mother has always been very mean to me but sometimes she crosses her limits. She goes through my wardrobes and this time has kept my gold jewellery on the pretense of wanting to wear it. Last week she even threw my food because I did not cut fruit for her son in the evening.My husband does not care about these petty things but when she did this in front of my husband, all he did was pick up the broken plate and food from the floor. He said nothing to her. He never says anything to her and defends her saying she has aged. Why do I have to be careful and sensitive towards her age but she can treat me any way she likes?
Expert advice by Vishal Bhardwaj, Founder and Relationship Coach at Predictions For Success:
It is saddening to see you suffer like this. But we also applaud your courage to take a stand for your self-respect. Here are a few things you should keep in mind. Your husband’s reluctance to confront his mother regarding her nonsensical behaviour is immoral and unjust. But this is the predominant downside of our value system: we do not feel like taking a stand against our parents, no matter how unethical they become! Your husband is not an exception. He also feels the same, so he keeps undermining your suffering. We suggest you talk to your mother-in-law and make her understand that you did not enter this house to get humiliated by them. In between, you can make your husband understand how things are affecting your psyche and mental health. Only he can refrain his mother from all these wicked activities.
