Feeling emotional

Makati, Philippines
October 1, 2016 10:44pm CST
I really want to separate, I really want to move house together with my husband and children. Because, I don't want to hear any bad and negative words from my mother against to my husband. They always say that my husband is a real man (lazy). But, they don't seem that my husband is a very hard worker he was just sleeping for only 3 hours a day just to earn money. I want to cry over what I heard those words.

Hello there. I think you and your husband need a place of your own as soon as you can get it. In the meantime tell your mum to keep her negative thoughts to herself. Do you and your husband support your mother? Does your mother have a job? A young couple like you and your husband need your own space.

We are! But sometimes I, can't leave my mother because I really love her. But, I know I have already a family and we need to separate.

@ode2012 I suppose it differs depending on the culture. But I, as a mother, will let my children spread their wings and fly when the time comes. And it is part of my love as a mother. We can visit when we want. Today I had a lovely day with my grandchildren as I wrote in a post.

@ode2012 I’m sorry you’re going through a rough time. Gossip like that can surely cause a lot of tension and stress. Family or not, people should not be interfering or getting into business that isn’t even theirs.

@VivaLaDani13 Yeah why parents/relatives/friends have to butt in when not invited ? This makes things worse rather than help

It is hard when your mother meddles in your family life. Didn't she know that your husband works hard for his family? You should tell this to your mother.

I can understand how you'd want to be on your own under such circumstances... Is there any way you can talk to your mother to make her understand how her negative words are effecting you?

I know how you feel. My husband and I fight all the time and I'm very close to packing our son and my stuff and leaving

why don't you live separately from your family? what is the job of your husband? your family should not say anything ill to your husband because you are already a married woman and have a family of your own

Just calm down and then decide what us good for you and your family......decisions taken in a spurt of anger are often regrettable in future.... As far as feeling bad is concerned u can understand what you are going through... Stay composed... All this is a part of life
