"My Mother-in-Law Lives with Me While Secretly Tearing My Marriage Apart"
My name is Sally, and I’m from East Legon, Ghana. I’ve been married for two years and known my husband for five.
Shortly after our wedding, my husband shared his plans to travel abroad to secure a better lifestyle for our family. While he was away, I was diagnosed with fibroids and had to undergo surgery. Concerned about my well-being, he asked his mother to move in with me for support.
Although I live in a big house and initially appreciated her presence, my heart broke the day I overheard her telling my husband that he should marry another woman abroad since I might not be able to bear children after my surgery.
Since then, I’ve been struggling to keep my composure, avoiding confrontation with her and even refraining from telling my husband that I know what she said. I deeply love my husband, but this situation is weighing heavily on me. It's affecting my peace of mind, and I’m beginning to feel like distancing myself from our home and my mother-in-law just to protect my mental health.
I need advice—what should I do?
