While it’s known that mother-son relationships can be toxic, one Redditor’s mother-in-law shocked the internet when she barred her from having sex with her husband.
The Redditor took to the social media site to share her story, which has since been reposted. The shocking situation unfolded after her father-in-law tragically died suddenly.
The original post said: “My husband and I got married a year ago. He and I didn’t live together before, in fact, we hardly saw each other because we both worked and studied at the same time, so our time was quite limited.
“We got married and went to live together in his apartment. Unfortunately, two months after our wedding his father died in an accident. My mother-in-law and my husband (who is an only child) were devastated as it was quite sudden.”
The Redditor’s mother-in-law suggested that they move in with her to keep her company, but she lived in a different state. Due to their jobs, they couldn’t move and, instead, the husband’s mother came to stay in their two-bedroom apartment.
She continued: “As a couple who are still in the honeymoon stage we had sex very frequently. Every day, even up to twice a day. This changed when my mother-in-law arrived, since the apartment is small so I didn’t feel comfortable doing it with her living there.”
She added: “The thing is that when I did have sex with my husband, my mother-in-law magically interrupted us. It didn’t matter what time it was, even if it was 3am she casually got up and knocked on our door asking ‘What are we doing?’ Or telling my husband that she felt bad because her head hurt or things like that.”
