Its easy to kick out someone elses family member. But if the tables where turned id doubt most of ya would be have the gall to do it.

One thing to remember, and its not to be conformist, but once you marry you take on your wife family. It just be like that.

Take equity for a 2nd mortgage on a granny flat/tiny home in the back yard and make her go out there. Should run 15K for a decent looking tinyhome/granny flat behind the house, or next to the house.

I was about to say, might need to look for a spot with a mother-in-law suite. :skip:

Mother in law is not the issue - she's just a symptom of the issue.

The real issue here is his inability or unwillingness to make his WIFE understand and fix the problem.

Whenever people throw the "I'm an introvert" line into the mix, it's usually some half hearted attempt to explain away why they don't speak up or why they're so conflict avoidant. I mean I can somewhat understand it if you're just dating someone...but there should be ZERO issues with telling whatever is in your mind/heart to your wife/husband. How the fuk you gonna MARRY someone (meaning you're basically legally/socially etc joined as one) and still not feel comfortable enough to tell your spouse how you really feel.

Sounds like he's maybe made small comments here and there, but never in a way to impress upon the wife the severity of the issue. That's why her response is hot/cold. He needs to tell her asap that she needs to talk to her mother and set boundaries. You didn't mention what kind of health issues she has, but if cleaning etc is a problem then they need to check if her insurance will cover one of those home health aides that can come in a couple times a week, or for a couple hours every day etc.

If breh doesn't step up he's in for a lifetime of shyt like this.
Man listen it’s not fair to talk down to dude. Unless he’s had experience of people freeloading off him or has been taken advantage of in the past he couldn’t have foreseen where things were heading. I’m sure when the idea was brought to him to let her move in it was worded in such a way it didn’t seem like a big deal.

some people just don’t have the experience of having to think many steps ahead.

“If I get with this girl, who benefits the most from our relationship?” - how many times did ur mind actually formulate a question like this? Probably never. But the answer to that question is paramount to everything.

I've dealt with a similar situation like this early in my marriage. Nobody is going to want to hear this, but its the only way you'll get results.

Your cousin will have to turn into a fukking cold blooded a$$hole, even if it threatens the marriage. Meaning the mother in law will decide to leave on her own or she'll straighten up immediately. If the wife values her marriage she'll ride it out and put her foot down with you, but you gotta start soon and you can't waver.

The mother in law is fully aware of what she is doing and lowkey trying to punk that nikka. Its passive aggressive shyt and lots of people fall for it because of people being nice about it.

1. Stop watching tv and play loud rap music whenever you vibing and chilling by yourself. shyt gotta be loud enough to where its bothersome. (3 6 Mafia type shyt works best)
2. Ignore her, don't even say good morning or acknowledge her existence.
3. Don't eat with her or fix her food, let her fend for self. That means you don't buy shyt she likes either.
4. Keep the AC cold as fukk
5. Have friends come over and just hang out all the time and they all ignore her too.

What's gonna end up happening is your wife or in law is gonna ask why all the changes and you basically say some shyt like, the mother in law obviously doesn't respect me being the man of the house so if she's not willing to compromise then why should he. You gotta make your wife choose between her marriage or her mom being a c*nt. This will make her check all the lil slick shyt she doing so you can go back to being normal.

and yes I did the above shyt and even went a step further and cursed the bytch out too.

My happiness and mental health is more important than some old fukk that has already lived their life and is trying to make mine miserable. You only have one life to live. Don't spend it at a dive bar or in your car afraid to go home. fukk that.

good luck.
