Olarhhh: I and my husband live in a mini flat (a room and parlor self contain) and since the very day we got the place early last year, his younger brother has been living with us because he fought with their father and my husband told him to come over to his place (we weren't married then but live together) so he continued living with us till he went to school last year November, and we were both happy that we can finally have our own privacy.
Meanwhile my husband has a very nosy family, different family member keep coming to visit Everytime and spending up to 2 weeks until I change attitude to them and make them leave.
Fast forward to December, a month after his brother left, the parents called to let his sister move with us, hubby declined but his family won't budge so he accepted.
Now hubby has travelled abroad and the sister wouldn't leave, I don't know what to do, she doesn't do anything here and she's rude. I want her to leave, I've tried stopping all the comfort she enjoys when her brother was around.
Please help Swallow the patient pill and ginger your husband to hasten relocating you to where he is. That his sister is the spy planted to monitor you so that you won't go after another man. |

ibechris: People may u see u as a bad wife but your husband is the cause of this problem.
Every newly married and even old time married couple deserve their privacy. No matter how one sees it. Your in laws should have known this before hand.
This is a clear case of asunder and i see no reason why such a person should continue to stay when her brother is not around.
Talk to your husband that he needs to iron this matter squarely and let everyone be. Since it wasn't job that took her down to your house, what is she their for if not to cause problem.
Terrible in laws!
They are not married, they are just co- habiting, if the Oga that travelled abroad refused to marry her or changes from good to bad, who will she report him to ![](/faces/huh.png) They are not your in-laws yet because you're not married to their son, yes you need privacy but Diplomacy is KEY...if you don't gerrit, forget abourrit |

Please help Move to another apartment if you can afford it and it's convenient. The family feels entitled. Your husband can assist his sister with basic needs e.g. bed and a small gas cooker. She'll have time to review her situation before the rent is due. That way, she'll determine if she can sustain the lifestyle on her own or go back home. |

There is nothing like privacy from your husband's family once you marry in African culture. Your husband's people become your people. If you don't want that you should have married a white man. In Africa, you are married into your husband's family. That is why you bear his name. You need to tolerate and develop your emotional maturity. |

She just want to have absolute freedom now that the husband has traveled. This will give power to do whatever without any family eyes seeing her. |

Woman! I have a question for you. Why would you marry from a rude and nosy family? If we have to start selecting families we should marry from, we might miss out on the special one. Sometimes we meet a great man whose family we later find out are troublesome. If we are lucky, the man will be someone who can protect us from his family's troubles. If not, that's where trouble begins. 1 Like |

Please help This is an issue to address with your husband not your in laws, lest you become the evil Wife. Couples, especially young couples need to have their privacy without the external pressure from family and in-laws. For now, until She eventually leaves your house, you need to find a way to not let it affect you mentally. |

I know that some humans can be annoying to live with, especially when they don't help in doing domestic works It's better to stay on your own instead of have someone that will drive a wedge between you and your husband live with you. A very close friend and "sister" had her mum inlaw stay with her for about a month. Can you imagine that the woman would go to her son and tell him not to let his wife has access to his phone. Then she would go to her daughter inlaw and ask her why her husband passwords his phone and not allow her access. When they found out, they were disappointed.

Please help I think this one key area after money that intending couples should always discuss. Just some days back, I was discussing with colleagues on this same issue of family members beit mine or my wife's coming to stay immediately after marriage. I told them we would agreed between me and my wife that family be whoever will not exceed 2 weeks in our house after getting married till say after 3 years of marriage except for omugo which will be at most 2 months. Parents should learn to understand that after marriage, the couples should be let alone to forge their path and be bonded very well before any interference. The advice I've for is for you and your husband to discuss this, also if you both finally agree that if anybody should come and stay, it shouldn't be for a long period of time and you should also be willing to adhere to it. Any family member that does have any place to stay should stay away from your personal house. Your husband or you should rent a seperate apartment for your relatives and must be responsible for them since you consented to their coming. |

It’s easy to want crowd when you have the financial power to cater for them. But in her case, she is struggling to feed herself, baby, as well as offset debts left behind by her husband. She is broke and not getting any support because her husband has not found his footing where he is.
Do you know how depressing it is to worry about basic things like food, light bills, school fees and baby expenses? The said in-law offers nothing! Nothing! Nobody gets excited feeding extra mouth when they cannot fully feed themselves yet.
