I have been married for a year and for the whole year that we have spent together, there isn`t a day when we have not quarreled or argued with each other. My hubby is in the Army and his mother came and stayed with us since the day I moved to his house. My hubby is very attached to his mother to an extent that we never go out without my MIL. She is the second wife for my FIL, who treated her badly and so my husband thinks that she is the Goddess and things like that. He keeps spending the little time that he gets with his mother & by this I feel very neglected. She is going to stay with us throughout her life, as they don`t have a house of their own, even if we buy one, my husband insists that she be with us only for safety reasons. He has gone to the extent that he gives his salary to her only to maintain the house. I`m earning very little, and he doesn`t even ask me if I have any requirements. His mother and the only sis(married)have created loans which he is paying off. All these are making my life real tough. Any suggestions?fficeffice" />

Ask your husband to buy two flats side by side, that way both of you can be together and as well as provide each other teh required privacy.

 Start serving her with lots of desi ghee,mithais,samosas ,pakoras,kachories,full cream milk,rabri,ghee saturated paranthas&subjees and all that doctor's advice to avoid. Don't allow her to do any physical exertion. Soon both mother and son will become benevolent towards you.On the other hand the Mother Nature will take care of her and your husband shall ever remain indebted to you for treating your mil so royally.But please take care to shun this facility for yourself ,husband and kids.

 Oh no eskayji, it is very unfair to give ideas like this...

Well Sadhana, These type guys --we cannot change in overnight, but never give up. Do your work properly and whenever get a chance, spealk to your husband.. By don;t nag, it will spoil the full thing. 

Speak to your Dh, as if your friend is going thru the situation like this and ask him how to handle it. It will make him think and it will make him realise his mistake and it will make him to open the eyes and see the truth. It will take time, but sure positive result in your favur..

Never attack anyone on their mistakes, make them think and you need a lot of patience.

A real difficult situation indeed! You are not alone, there are so many of us women out here to give you company!
Your MIL is gonna stay with you forever... You do not seem to have any other misunderstndings or problems with your husband apart from your MIL and the money he gives her. So do not let this spoil your life.
The older generation need to respect their sons/ daughters privacy and personal life. India has always had the tradition of the older generation giving up material interests and responsibilities after their younger generation takes over. Right from kings to common man, the older generation used to value their childrens right to lead an independent life. They were used to giving over their responsibilities to their children when they come of age. But the current modern day mothers and fathers have so much of insecurity that they want a life long hold on their sons and daughters, to the extent that they disturb their children's married life and privacy.

But if you keep thinking about this, you will loose your life and your health. The younger generation of today is quite sensible. The best way to face this situtation would be to focus on other activities in your life. If you have hobbies like cooking, or painting or stitching or embroidery, etc.. take it up seriously. Keep yourself occupied with your hobbies. Try to earn money out of your hobbies. Stop talking about your MIL as every time you count your problems, they appear to be bigger and bigger. Instead stop thinking about it and focus on improving yourself and your activities. 

Time will have an asnwer for all problems... Let your problems solve on their own. Hatred or Worry will only spoil it for you. A sensible woman will be able to shift her focus to creative thoughts instead. Good luck and wish you a peaceful happy life.
