Hi! Me 25F and my boyfriend 28M moved out of the country a few years back. We had a good life together. Since my boyfriend’s mom had some financial issues we suggested she moves to the country we live in since she would earn a lot better. We promised she can live with us at the beggining before she finds a job and her own place. It’s been 3 months now since she’s been living with us and it’s been hellish. That fucking women never shuts up. She constantly makes everyone pay attention to her, listens in on every conversation we have and even cries if you tell her that you don’t like something she does. She literally cried bc my bf wouldn’t let her do the dishes (she never washes them properly). She started working 2 weeks ago and omg, if I hear her complaining one more time I’m gonna tell her something really mean. I’m trying to make living with her more doable, but I’m so stressed bc of her. What should I do? She can’t afford to rent her own place for now.
My MIL if making our live impossible. What should I do?

Talk to bf. He needs to have your back and deal with her. Y’all need to have a plan for her exit. There needs to be a timeline. She’s never going to leave at this rate. She’s taken over your home and she knows it.
Don’t listen to her.
Is there a local group that she can meet up with? There are faith groups, book clubs, walking groups. She might be an anxious person, but it sounds like you are her only social connection. Maybe suggest that she join a bird watching group, a wetland restoration group, and or an organic farming volunteer group.
If I was your bf I’d lie and tell her that I can’t perform in bed and/or maintain an erection knowing she might just be a wall away and that it’s causing tension between you two ..
I hate dealing with drama, especially the relationship kind and I am more than happy to lie to avoid it.
