Is it a good idea to move far away just to get away from meddling in laws?

Based on personal experience, it can be the best thing you will ever do for your marriage! In-laws can create problems where there were none. Try discussing the problems with them first, unless you both agree that you want to relocate. Because miles can help, but if they're really bad, they'll still find a way to stick their noses in your business. Good luck and don't let them destroy a marriage that you are happy in!

I've done it and no it didn't work they follow lol..Seriously in laws can be such a thorn is our rear ends but the fact is they are our husbands or wives family. I don't like everything my mother in law has done and it has caused alot of problems but I have stood up to her and no matter what he has to. If you have kids you need to teach them how to deal with people who do not have the best behavior, set the better example..

~Angel~ I feel for ya !!!!!!!!!

I doubt it would hurt and you might find some happiness. I lived 2000 miles away from my MIL and it was great. I didn't have to see her for a whole year. There is the possibility that they will come to visit and expect to stay with you. This could cause serioujs problems in your marriage. good luck.

Well, my boyfriend's daughter-in-law would speak to her mother every day for two hours by phone, from the NorthWest to the South of the USA...

And she and her husband had to comment on everything going on in the young couples' life together.

I think she's gaining independence nowadays.

So, if either one of you is encouraging the meddling, I'd say, um, NO.

You always take your problems with you in life.

Good luck!!!!!

I would they can make a good relationship into a bad thing. Because you are caught in the middle or put up rules and don't let them come over, unless they can stay out of your business.

I wouldn't move faraway, but a little distance I think is healthy for the marriage...I don't think I could handle meddling in-laws like that!! GOOD LUCK!!

Probably. If you want to save your marriage. I have a friend whose parents say that they need to move away for at least 5 years so that they could form a strong bond first. It was the best advice that they could have given them.

No they'll still find a way to bother you. There is always the phone. The best thing to do is sit down with your husband and tell him how you feel. Hopefully he'll man up and talk with his parents. If not you'll have to be the b!tch and let them know how you feel.

I live 1/2 mile from my in laws however, I do not go and see them often. My husband and I also do not tell them our personal business. It makes no difference how far you live from them if you have boundaries then you will not have a problem.

That depends on what else you'll be leaving behind. Also you don't want them to know that's the reason you're moving, because that could really cause an even bigger divide than the distance.
