Dear Thelma: My marriage is ruined by my mum-in-law's interference


By THELMA

My husband is a mama’s boy and always spends time with her. He never spends time with me nor talks with me. Most of the time, I've felt lonely. Moreover, whatever I communicate to him, goes directly to his mother’s ear.
