Dear LIB readers: How can I make my wife and mother- in-law stop?

. From a male LIB reader
I am 5 months old into marital life and it has been a smooth
journey so far but there can never be a perfect relationship
as we all know. What has been baffling me in this marriage
so far is that whenever there is a misunderstanding between
me and my wife, the next thing is to call her mum who then
talks to me on the issue. Though she has never been biased in
settling issues between us whenever there is an issue she is
been involved with by her daughter.
The bottom line is that it is a situation I never liked and I
have tried several times to put a halt into this but she never
yielded to my concerns on involving her mum in our marital
issues whenever there is a case to settle. Continue...
For an example, if I decide not to attend a church service on a
Sunday maybe because I am tired for that matter, the next
thing is for her to call her mum to report me that I've refused
to attend a Sunday service. And before I know it, her mum is
calling to ask why I have decided not to go church. Though she
never authorized me forcefully to go to church on such
occasion but do persuade me or even plead atimes.
If she has been calling my mum the way she calls her mum into
our issues, maybe it would have been a different case entirely.
There is nothing that happens in our marriage that her mum
doesn't know about. And if there is an argument, she also
threatens to call her mum immediately and it would be done
unrepentantly.
I am sick and tired of these occurrences and I believe the way
things are going, it could lead to a situation that might cause
the unexpected. I love and care about my marriage but not with
my mother in law involvement irrespective of her motherly role.
I never involved my parents in our marital issues so I believe
she should not involve hers too. What do you think I can do
because I am loosing it already.
