    I endured 13 miserable years with a Sicilian mother-in-law. We only met with his parents once a month. After marriage, it was every Sunday. Everything we did was to please his mother. Finally, he said, “If you ask me to choose between you and my mother, I choose her.” What a relief! That was one of the happiest days of my life. I chose my own sanity.

      Actually mama's boys ruin their mariages, because it doesn't matter how crazy the mother in law is, if the son is on the side of his wife and set boundaries between his mother and his closest family (wife & children), this kind of thing wouldn't happen.
      This happens because the son allows it to happen. He has the responsibility to deal with his crazy mother, not the daughter in law.

    If a woman has a son and a daughter, but only ever shows love to her son and wants to sleep in the same room as him after he is married and always tries to make her daughter in law feel like a third wheel, then I don't think her feeling lonely has anything to do with it, but rather there's an incestuous component to the whole situation that I could NEVER be ok with.

      Especially with the decline in kids right now. It's not even happening only there I mean like the mother-in-law thing I've only ever heard coming from South Korea that is something maybe uniquely there but I know Japan is having an issue with a decline in children and actually Tokyo just put out that in a decade it'll be too late they'll cross the threshold of hitting a no going back zone to the decline of the amount of people not having kids. And then even in the United States it's becoming an issue where people are just not having enough kids. They're either choosing their pets are plants to be children instead. But there's like so many reasons why this is happening. There's economical, physical, etc.

      I think these conversations are really important. But you should also date longer than a year, about 3 years, for the mask to fall and to meet and be with the people in his life. And have your eyes open. He will not become better at anything after marriage, you get what you see. If he is weird around his parents, that's just what he will be and it warrants a conversation about boundaries with your own future kids too and your marriage after the kids grow up, because people often slip into becoming their parents, and he might assume you will act like his mom as a mom and wife.

    Thank god my (Korean) husband has made clear to me that he rather his own mom hate him than me. It sounds extreme but he puts it that way because my MIL sees anything negative as a personal attack (I suspect narcissism / cluster b personality disorder and apparently even the mention of her mental health throws her into a fit of rage). She has no concept of boundaries or even a filter so even then it’s a struggle, but I wouldn’t have lasted a year if my husband wasn’t on my side 😮‍💨 The MILs of these stories are unhinged but the husbands really need to wake up and step up…

    • @apl-h3q
      @apl-h3q 3 месяца назад +3

      Might not even be narcissism. My mom viewed constructive criticism as negative or not even just like constructive feedback and conversation as an attack on her character. Ppl arent taught as children these conversational, constructive feedback is a need for relationships. and then as grown adults refuse it because they were never taught that and for them, it was never a thing needed in their culture with their family. When it probably was needed just didn’t know what that was And their parents either. So generational trauma is what I’m explaining. Not normalizing and teaching constructive criticism/feedback doesn’t up their confidence as a person. You can do things that aren’t good or harmful to others without being a bad person. No criticism teaches ppl that when they are given these feedbacks it’s bad. And don’t know how to healthily respond to the feedback. So just a food for thought.

    As a viewer who viewed your content 7-8 years ago before i moved to Korea because I was planning to move to Korea, and is currently still in Korea now, I really like seeing this as sort of a "before and after" viewer. I really love that you're addressing Korea in its raw form and actual experiences because I don't see much out there focusing on what REAL life in Korea is like nowadays. I always describe it as the most advanced, yet backwards thinking society that if you try to make it make sense, then it's like putting a square peg into a round hole. That being said, I do love living here and have completely integrated into society. You must do that, but also stand up for your own culture and boundaries. It's alright to demand people meet you halfway. Super support you and am loving these conversations.

    Being Zimbabwean, or rather African we have many of the same hierarchies when it comes to age and gender which presents many of the same issues in our cultures when couples get married. I understand that these are crazy stories but I certainly can't pretend I've never heard of such things. I blame societies built on putting a son/male on a pedestal, which is how many daughters and wives quickly lose value to everyone around them. From a young age you're expected to cater to everyone, including your male siblings, and to look at marriage as a huge achievement, to the point where girls are constantly being reprimanded by being told, 'if you act like this, no one will marry you' or 'You are going to embarrass us when you get married' etc and therefore in adulthood you're basically used to servitude and suffering silently in those traditions and ways of thinking. Women end up feeling like they have to do everything to preserve their marriages and it may not matter how awful that marriage is. The cultures are so similarly intense and sadly, changing that here may not come so soon since it benefits men so much. I really enjoyed this and would love to see more !

    I love this content!!! I am not Korean but have a Korean M.I.L. I can relate so much to this! I went through the first half of my marriage feeling inadequate and insecure about my role in the home. My husband is half Korean and it took him a while to get over the guilt of sticking up for me against his mom. Things are much better now. But it was very painful to get to where we are now. Thank you for this content! Please continue with more. It sheds light and understanding on so many things.

    These are obvious examples of emotional incest, a psychologist would have a field day with these people you talked about. Is the father-in-law so mentally checked the mother-in-law raised her son to be her emotional husband and therefore these sorts of behaviours have been normalised?

    The crazy part is that the wives will be the ones usually taking care of their elderly husband’s parents. Wouldn’t as a mother in law want to treat your daughter in law with so much care and love as she will most likely be the one to care for you in your old frail age? If you are horrible to your daughter in law l, expect to be treated the same in your old age. This was too good Megan, I need more of these!

So creepy.. I’ll share beds with my adult boys but it’s usually so to lack of beds.. or my son and daughter in law insisted I sleep with them.. I still felt weird at first.. but in the end it’s family we can share.. but no the rest is so creepy

      Who would want to take the risk knowing what a major crapshoot it can be?
      At least in the wWest, it would be properly shamed and seen as weird enough for others to take the husband to task over and there's not much of a culture saying that the DIL just needs to eat shit to "keep the peace".
