hi there, thank you for reading my post, i really would love some advice or constructive critasimn.Im a 24 year old newly wed and iv been wondering if i have made the biggest mistake of my life. i love my husband so very much, we have been together for 4 years lived together for 2 years and married now for 7 months. but i think everything is not quite how i thought it would be. we got married because we both lost our jobs and had to move in to his pairents cottage in their back yard ( his mother is a minister and insisted we marry if we wanted to live together). we where planning on getting married any way so it wasnt a big deal. the thing is i dont feel like our relationship is our own, i know people say you dont just marry a man you marry his whole family but surely there is a point or a line that is crossed? the only time we are alone is when we sleep and even that gets interupted. his sister wants him to go everywhere with her and he does because if she doesnt get her way she complains to their pairents and they threten us,and his dad always wants help with his computer or something that is even nessesary e.g he wants more than one anti virus installed doesnt like it then wants it reinstalled changes his mind a few hours later and thats how it goes. to add to the situation iv taken up a part time job as his moms secretary and she is a night mare boss i only get paid to work until 1pm but most days only finish work at 7 pm. she brings me work on weekends and late at night on, friday she asked me to make 200 flyers for her easter sunday service, i showed her one to check and aprove, she said she was happy so i printed and folded them after which she said she doesnt like them and i must redo it. they invite themselves over and eat all our food and complain about the " quality" but we can only buy what we can afford. they push our rent up every month, i got a lease agreement but they refuse to sign it and when ever we ask for privacy they say that we must move. iv told my husband that i am unhappy here and miss him but it only makes him feel bad as there is nothing he can do because of the constant threat of being kicked out. i know i am complaining alot but the consant critasimn and belittling his family does is really horid, they treat us like children and punish us if we say no to them or do what they say. this is really a horible situation and i know i should be grateful to have a place to live but i keep wondering if i should leave him, i know i can go stay with my brother but i dont want to loose my husband, has anyone else ever had an issue like this/ what did you do? please im so very unhappy here. ps sorry english is not my strong point.
