Sometimes, it might be necessary to limit contact for a while. If the situation is really bad and all attempts at communication and setting boundaries have failed, taking some time apart can give everyone a chance to cool down. But this should be a last resort and done in a way that doesn't completely sever the relationship. You can still be civil when you do see them again in the future.
Involve your partner. They should be on your side and help mediate any issues. If your monster in law is causing problems, your partner needs to step up and talk to their mother. They can explain that you are now a family too and certain behaviors need to change.
Communication is key. Try to have an open and honest conversation with the mother - in - law before the birth. Explain how you are feeling and what your expectations are. During the birth, if she still causes trouble, have a support person, like the father or a close friend, step in and handle the situation. For instance, they can gently escort her out of the delivery area if she is being too disruptive. Also, the mother should focus on her own well - being and the baby's, and not let the mother - in - law's actions overly stress her.
One way is to set clear boundaries. Let the monster in law know what is acceptable and what is not. For example, if she is being too critical or interfering in the medical decisions, firmly tell her that it's not her place.
If you're in a situation with a possessive boyfriend, it's important to have your own support system. Talk to your friends and family about what's going on. They can give you advice and be there for you. Also, consider seeking professional help like couple's therapy if you think the relationship is worth saving. But if it's too toxic, don't be afraid to end the relationship. You deserve to be in a healthy and respectful relationship.
One can start by trying to create new memories with friends. Plan outings or activities together.
The first step is to laugh it off. Most of the time, if both parties can see the humor in an awkward sex situation, it can diffuse the tension quickly. For example, if something goes wrong like knocking over a lamp, just chuckle about it and move on.
If it's a family situation that is like a'monster' but not the current focus, you could simply set boundaries. Don't let the potential chaos or trouble from that situation spill over into your daily life too much.
Well, first of all, this is a very difficult situation, but if it's already happening, communication is key. All parties need to sit down and have an open and honest conversation about their feelings, expectations, and boundaries. However, it's important to note that this is still not a morally or socially acceptable situation in most cases.
If it's an awkward social situation like an inappropriate comment about your bra, firmly but politely tell the person that it's inappropriate and change the subject. Don't let them make you feel bad. You can also confide in a good friend who can support you and make you feel better.
The first step is to set clear boundaries. Let the yandere person know firmly what is acceptable and what is not. For example, if they are being overly possessive, say 'I need my own space and you need to respect that'.
