I am sorry she is adding so much stress to your life. It isn't right. I can only suggest that you sit down with her and tell her how you feel. Get everything in the open. Your partner needs to support you in this endeavour. To be there and to state that he stands beside you in this matter. You aren't asking him to choose between his mother and you. You are making it clear what you need. She doesn't have the right to try to impose her rights upon you. It is your business along with your partner's. That being said, you may have to severely limit contact with her. Make that clear to her also when you have that discussion. Good luck with your new business. It will be a success with the two of you each doing your parts. You sound a lot more mature than your future mother-in-law is. Good luck, girl.
@Clairessa09 Remember it is your life, girl. If you marry him, you are not married to her. Stand up for your rights. As long as you are happy and your partner is too, than no one has the right to interfere. She will continue to be a source of stress in your life so you will have to learn to deal with her. This might likely involve eliminating her from your life. Your partner will have to deal with whatever you decide. I hope it all works out. You sound like a fine young lady.

doesn't she have a life to attend to and he needs to grow a spine too otherwise your problems with her will only get worse if she sees she has permission to intrude in your marriage.

I don't know where you live, so I don't know how your culture regards family issues like this one, however, I might suggest that you speak to your husband. Explain how horrible his mother's words and attitude make you feel, and ask him if he can arrange a meeting with a mental health counselor for the three of you together. Severe social anxiety is something a mental health counselor will understand, and he or she might be able to explain to your mother-in-law, (although she does sound like she is very stupid indeed) so that she is able to understand, and the counselor can also act as a mediator or referee so that the three of you can have an honest discussion.

@4meAndyou the last thing i want is to be labelled wid a mental illness and be taken more for a ride. I jus ignore her. Shes a pain even he knows that. He tells me to pay no attention to her at all and jus do wat im doin.
