I\u2019ve been married to Richard for three years, and our life together is mostly happy \u2014 except for one constant issue: his mother, Monica.<\/p>\n

To my face, she\u2019s all hugs and sweet nicknames. But behind my back, she constantly criticizes me. At a family BBQ, she even brought a \u201cbackup pie\u201d because she wasn\u2019t sure guests would like my cooking. During our housewarming, I overheard her suggesting to Richard that he\u2019d rushed into marrying me and should\u2019ve considered another woman from church instead.<\/p>\n

As annoying as that was, what really bothered me was her obsession with getting into our bedroom.<\/p>\n

Three months ago, during a dinner party, Monica ignored the guest bathroom and went upstairs to use the one in our master bedroom. When I followed her, I found her nowhere near the bathroom \u2014 just standing by our dresser. She claimed she was \u201cconfused,\u201d but I knew better.<\/p>\n

After it happened again, I told Richard I was installing a lock. He agreed \u2014 but kept the key. So I suggested putting glitter on the doorknob as a test.<\/p>\n

Later that night, we found Monica standing outside our locked bedroom door \u2014 covered head to toe in gold glitter.<\/p>\n

Instead of admitting what she\u2019d been doing, she accused me of humiliating her. Richard was upset too, saying I\u2019d embarrassed his family.<\/p>\n

But all I did was protect our privacy \u2014 and finally catch her snooping.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
