I am 28F and married to my husband 27M for 2 years now, My MIL is an absolute nightmare.
She is religious orthodox, 50 year old single divorcee who totally relies on my husband for her survival.
She does not work, She lives in a nearby apartment which my husband pays for, Utilities, Medical supplies etc everything paid by my husband. Even though he earns good but totally supporting another house is not at all ok.
Because of that, Me and husband are not able to spare for travel trips, some nice luxury things which others with similar income are easily affording, But because of my dear MIL its not happening for us!
On top of all, my husband has tried many times to convince her to work but she makes random health reasons and even said that she is cheap to maintain, My husband can afford her, Its his responsibility to take care of her ‘old’ mom. To which my husband feels helpless. MIL says she wont be able to survive on her own, If husband stops supporting her then according to her she is ‘gone’.
I am just done with her now, I have asked my husband to totally stop supporting his mom and give her ultimatum, No matter the after effects, She will become a homeless women, She might just better be ‘gone’. AITA for asking husband to do this?
PS- When I married my husband, She used to work at a massage parlour and my husband used to only support her in little things like medical bills, But not rent/everything. Soon after she left the parlour saying she is done with it and simply started to ask money from husband. Being a good son he supported her but now its getting too much for us.
