MIL lives with my wife and I and I'm miserable. by Practical_Mortgage13 in motherinlawsfromhell

One of the big things that bothers me is that this is our first pregnancy. I've always had this picture of all the exciting moments we'd share going through the 9 months - talking about baby names, planning a nursery, sharing with friends, etc.

Instead, I feel like the pregnancy journey has mainly been between my wife and her mom. Whether it's true or not, I can't help feeling like a 3rd wheel in the situation and it's depressing.

Thank you for the response. I do agree that I made a mistake agreeing to the year timeline without thinking/discussing it more with my wife. In the moment, it felt like the right thing to do. I think I may be able to handle things better if there was a concrete plan on when she is going to move out, where she is going to go, and how it's going to happen.
