If a MIL starts to meddle too much, should a husband stand up to his mother if it is upsetting his wife?

+7I think a husband should stand up for his wife as long as she isn't just stirring the pot or causing the problem. I think the husband would know how to handle his mother better and it would keep from putting his wife in an uncomfortable situation. On the other hand my husband hasn't had to do that, my mother-in -law and I were friends before I married my husband. I was lucky.
The two of them do need to work it out. But your first loyalty need to be to your wife.
He chose his wife to be with him for better or worse so he should be there to defend her even against his mother.
Mommy only lived with him for a short time, but the wife is til death do they part (or divorce whichever.)
his mother did not raise him right-
When a mother in law is creating stress on a new mom she is need to be set straight by her son and told she is out of line.
If it were me, I would have also changed the locks on all of the exterior doors and made sure nobody outside of the immediate household got a copy of the key.
Mothers have no business meddling in marriages and need to be shown their place.
I happen to like my solution and I'm welcome to it. Your answer does not trump my own because you deem yours the correct one. It's an opinion based website where we are asked our opinion. There are no wrong answers, only more opinionated individuals who think they have all the answers. Maybe file that one away.
