What are your thoughts on living with in-laws, i.e. mother in law because it makes your husband happy?

Would never live with my in laws. I need my own space. Don’t know how people do it lol x

Never

I couldn’t do it unless I was rich enough to live in a house with separate wings, two kitchens and two living rooms as well as numerous bedrooms to escape to 🤣. Jokes aside though, my husband wouldn’t be happy with me being unhappy and I know that me and ILs are too different to be able to be comfortable living together x

I have done previously when it was needed due to works but it was awkward at times and when things got tough it affected my relationship with my partner as well as with the in laws. I would avoid it if possible.

don’t do it 😫

We did while saving for a house straight out of university, but my condition was that it wouldn't be more than 1 year. I wouldn't do it with children, and I wouldn't do it indefinitely.
It also helped with us that my in laws live entirely downstairs, so we had the upstairs to ourselves x

Absolutely not! I don't care how much my partner would want or mil wants it, I need my own space and I don't want to be walking on eggshells at home because I've said or done something that hurt her precious feelings ( I refused to give her my newborn because she ignored our no kissing rule and was also rubbing her nose on his face!)

NEVER. I’ve been proposed this and said no so quick 😂 I’ve watched enough movies to know better. Do you even feel fully at home? Can you call it your home??

If a man is only happy when living with his mother, he is not even close to ready to be a husband.

I lived with my MIL for over a year. It’s not for the faint of heart

I have my in laws stay 3 nights a week to help with childcare. I love them but my god they do my head in!!!

If the idea makes you unhappy it shouldn’t happen, as mean as it might sound “making him happy” isn’t a good enough reason to do it

MIL lives w us. She works every day and I don’t see her much. She’s a single mama all her life, and he’s her only living child. So she’s with us but we don’t clash at all. And she looks after the toddler when we have our date nights, and will be also for a kid-free wedding in 2w. But if YOU are not happy have a talk to him and tell him why you’re not happy and see if you can work around that

It's in our culture to live with in laws after marriage. I lived with them for two years and then I bought a house with my husband and moved them in with me so they could save for a deposit as they were renting before. Lived together for two more years and now they've bought their own house.

I've always wanted to live with my husband's family for at least two years so they could get to know me and vice versa.

If I were uncomfortable with moving in with them then I would have voiced it. No point if it makes your husband happy and you unhappy! Have you told him how you feel?

Nope. Never.

Nope unless absolutely had to. I love them and I wanna stay loving them so hard no.

No way 🙅‍♀️

I think husband can live with MIL but wife? I dont think thats a good idea. No two queens in one castle as they say. Still, it depends on both parties

to save up to be able to buy our first home, my partner and i stayed with his mum and dad in his family home. it definitely motivated us to save as quick as possible😅. but no way could we live with them again after knowing what our own space feels like!!
