Dear Thelma: My marriage is ruined by my mum-in-law's interference


By THELMA

My husband is a mama’s boy and always spends time with her. He never spends time with me nor talks with me. Most of the time, I've felt lonely. Moreover, whatever I communicate to him, goes directly to his mother’s ear.

Once, my family confronted him about why he should tell his mum about our conversation and he said that his mum always asks him what I spoke to him. So much so, I felt lonely and went into depression.
