I don’t understand why people on here call your girlfriend controlling. Living in a separate household from your parents doesn’t make one controlling. You two just want two different ways of life.

He has mentioned that her dad has passed away, but would he have wanted to live with her parents after getting married? I think living with in-laws will be harder than it sounds (def harder than living with your own parents). I personally wouldn't want to live with my S.O.'s parents, no matter how much I liked being around them. But I am not a traditional person...
The only way this relationship will improve is if they spent more time together. I think them avoiding each other will make things worse over time because the gap will widen between them and it'll get more awkward, as both your gf and your mom will feel uncomfortable to "make the first move." What do your parents like to do? Do something physical - like mini golf, play lawn games like cornhole or washers, or pool - so they won't be forced to make small talk.
