My Fiance Says His Mom Must Live With Us After the Wedding or else He Will Break Up Anonymous Lady Shares

When I said yes to my fiance some months ago, I thought I had finally found peace. We have been through a lot together, long-distance, job struggles, even family disagreements but we always found our way back to love.

Recently, while discussing our plans for marriage, he dropped a bombshell, he said his mother must live with us after the wedding.

At first, I thought he was joking. I laughed and asked, You mean for a while, right? He said, No. Permanently. She is my mother, and I can’t leave her alone.

I was quiet for a few seconds. It wasn’t the request itself that broke me, it was the ultimatum that followed. He said If i can’t live with her, then maybe we shouldn’t get married.

It felt like someone pressed pause on my heartbeat.

I respect his mother. She’s kind, prayerful, and loves her son deeply. But living with her under the same roof, in our first years of marriage, feels like trouble waiting to happen. I have seen too many marriages collapse under that kind of pressure. There won’t be boundaries and before long, love becomes a battlefield.

I tried to explain that to him. I told him I wanted a home where we could grow as a couple, learn each other’s habits, and make mistakes privately without feeling watched or judged. But he wouldn’t listen. He said any woman who truly loves him must also love his mother enough to live with her.

Now, I am torn. Do I walk away from someone I thought was my forever, or do I agree to something I know might choke the peace in my marriage?
