Hi, This is a common problem in marriages. This usually occurs because your Mother in law may feel insecure. Similarly you will feel insecure as well. Your husband wants to live with you but you must realise that it is hard for him to take a stand against his mother. I think you should speak to him and tell him the things that make you really upset. You will have to compromise on a number of things but you must know where to draw the line. Your husband will not forget the good you do to keep the family together. I suggest you meet your husband and discuss the issue. There is no point in running away. If you think things are very bad and you don't have a chance then it is better to legally separate and get on with your lives. But it appears from your statement that you and your husband want to be together, so make the most of it. Remember you have only one chance to make this work so make the most of it. All the best
