I dont like living with my mother in law?

So my boyfriend had some health issues and he said he wanted to move to California where his mom lives, I wasnt happy with the idea but I love him and I found a job so I moved but I really miss my old life I feel that I was free now Im not, she (mother in law) gets too involved in my things and I feel I cant even eat what I want she makes unhealthy food and I eat it just because I dont want to be rude I also feel I cant use the kitchen because she is all on top of me trying to tell me what to do...idk I dont feel happy about this situation, but I hope is not for too long in the meantime what can I do to make it better?

    95% of our emotions arise automatically from our own subconscoius patterns .. patterns that we have created by what we tell ourselves.

    The more you look at how much you "hate this" and "hate that", the more unhappy you will be.

    Conversely, the more you understand that you made a choice based on your desires, the more you can accept things as they are.

    After all, you could have stayed in your old life but that would mean saying goodbye to your boyfriend.  So you decided to give up your old life as a trade for keeping your boyfriend.

    If you think that was a mistake, then leave him and go back to your old life.

    If you think you made the right choice, then stop dwelling on the things you don't like.

    ALL of life is trading one thing for another. And no matter what we do, there is always some sort of "price-tag/cost" attached.  A career means the cost of preparation, both in effort and in education $.  A child means giving up some of your freedom and most of your spontaneity. Etc.

    An adult is someone who knows what their priorities are, and accepts the cost associated with their first priority.

    And if they have energy and resources left after attending to their first priority, then they can consider trying to also meet their second priority

    So make your choice, and then accept the cost it carries.  If you remain unhappy in your present situation, you WILL end up losing your bf anyway.

    And since the only person we ever have ANY chance of changing is ourselves, don't think you can change your bf or his mother.  That also wrecks relationships.

    Get a place of your own, I know things are expensive there, but I'm sure you could find a small apartment just to have your own space.

    Hello concerned one a wise person sees possible red flags and protects themselves even from those they love you took a big leap moving your life with your boyfriend family which is always tricky because you ever know what you’re walking into unfortunately. Either have your boyfriend talk to his mother if he wants you to stay and love respect you that much or you have to decide more important your peace of freedom to be grown keeping a calm heart or live in misery . Pray over the matter ask for strength courage guidance. Hope it works out for you.

    Since he is your BF, move back to your old life. Tell bf you are not happy living there, and you are going home.

    🥴 Youre lucky.

    I would be able to be daughter in law of the year by tomorrow with your hubbys mama. 

    I have to deal with another lonely pervert uncle and taming my impulses in stabbing him in his throat.

    The easiest way to cope with a monster in law is to give her whatever she asks for with the notion in mind that you will never be good enough for her son. 

    🥴 That means you accept her bxtch fits with a smile and keep being respectfully independent. 

    Youre only there until you get your own place.

    🥴 Now... do you have any advice about how to endure roommates from hell you cant kill?

    No one is holding you against your will. Leave if you're so unhappy, because you can't make anyone behave as you would like them to.
