Ok heres the situation.. I have a cousin brother.. he's stuck.. he lives with his parents and his wife and kids.... so he's in a tough situation... his mother dont like his wife.. when he takes his wife to meet her parents... his mother gets angry and says that he doesnt take them anywhere.... and the other side.. he doesnt want to tell his wife anything because if she's off she would want to go meet her parents.... so nothing wrong with that.. Do you guys ever have a situation like that?? What would u do?

The fact that the mother does not like the wife makes this situation tougher. I would think that the wife would have the same feeling as well. The guy should have an open dialog with both his wife and mother. He should ask the mother what it is that she does not like about the wife so they could all work out their relationship with one another. The problem does not stem from the guy taking the wife out its the dislike of the mother towards the wife is the root of it all. Even if the guy takes the mother out regularly, the mother would always find something to complain about because there are no real relationship between her and the wife.

The problem is that the mother doesnt' like the wife's parents and thats why when she goes to her mom's place.... the mother in law gets upset...

This is a tough situation that happens to many people. Well, you could sort out both of their differences. Let them spend the day together or something, so they can get to know each other better. I hope everything works out okay!

not me but few in my relation. it is a tough situation but i think in this case mother should understand that his son is married and have his own life its their time to roam as his mother must have roamed very much in their time. but his son should also take his parents out at least once a month. relations are only successful with mutual understanding.
