Well there are some things not clear. Were you living with these people? If so, living away is much better for your marriage. And why should you leave your husband over this? He is not taking this as seriously as you...so maybe you need to stand up to them more too.
I have been married a long time. I know when you are young and first get married, you often have to learn how to handle things. So think about how you are a married woman...an independent person, able to stand up for yourself....you don't need your husband to do it.
But you also need to let your husband know you are not going to tolerate them if they are being rude and ill mannered to you. You let him know you expect him to stand up to them too.
These people are family and you have to learn to deal with them....and also to let them know what you will put up with...they will respect you more if you are not willing to be their "victim" because I agree with you it is unkind behavior.
Decide, the next time you have to confront them...how you will act. And be ready for them.
Most husbands want to please their wives so they don't end up sleeping on the porch! Guess you could say..."how they treat me, is how I'm going to treat you!"
And also let these people know you will have a child when you are ready, and not before!
There is hope because when I got married, I was pretty much a "mouse". But I learned to stand up
....so can you!
