Dear Jasmine,
I have lived with my partner and her family for more than 2 years.
Her mother is a controlling. She would do anything to please her or at least get things her way and she will not listen to anyone in the house.Sometimes, I even have a feeling that she wouldn’t care how other people feel, as long as she is please! I hope I am wrong! I don’t know what she comes up with and complaint about me with my partner behind my back and we end up fighting every time she does.
We don’t have any privacy; she would come to our bedroom to look for things, making noises every morning and wake us up without thinking that we are going to be at work later on!
What can I do now? My girlfriend already made decision. If I still want to live together then I have to find a way to please her mother. If not, feel free to move out!

Dear Rex,
I think the answer is quite clear: move out. If you are living there, paying rent and being treated like this, you should move on out. Your girlfriend has not respect for you, so I am not sure why you are in this relationship. There needs to be some reasoning behind pleasing her mom because it is nice to please your mom but not when it is not reasonable to do so. Sounds like your girlfriend doesn’t think there is anything wrong with it and if you do, then perhaps you need to move out and rethink this relationship and whether or not you should be together at all.
Always here,
Jasmine
