Mother-in-law gets married, husband forces me to give my mom's dowry house to her, the next morning I woke up delighted

Marriage is a fortress that can give you a sense of security, but at the same time it is also a hurdle, full of changes and developments you might never have imagined in advance. What it ultimately turns into requires analyzing specific problems case by case, and also depends on the partner you chose and his family. In short, marriage is a very concrete and contradictory existence, definitely not limited to one or a few models.

My husband's father passed away when he was still very young, so he grew up in a single-parent family. Since his mother never remarried afterward, he and his mother-in-law have a very good relationship, and he is very filial and obedient. At first, my mom always felt that although my husband was doing fairly well in his career, and although his family's financial situation could not compare with ours, his future was still relatively bright, so she never objected to those things. But the only issue was that he was too obedient to his mother-in-law. They were afraid that because of this I would suffer after marrying him, so they opposed our relationship. But I did not take it seriously, thinking that in the end we would still be living as just the two of us, with little to do with my mother-in-law.

What I never expected was that not long after we got married, my mother-in-law, who had previously delayed her own lifelong marriage because she had to raise my husband, surprisingly launched a twilight romance at lightning speed and soon remarried. Seeing this situation, I was also very happy, because this way my mother-in-law would have her own family and life, and would not live with us anymore. Those things my mom had worried about would never happen again. Anyone in this situation would feel happy, right? But my husband worried that his mother had no security, so he asked me to give up the new house my family bought for us and give it to his mother.

Naturally I refused such an excessive request, and said that if he wanted to be generous, he should go earn money himself and give his own mother a house, and not set his sights on my family. He was very angry, and we had a big fight. He even threatened me with divorce, saying the house was a marital home, that he had a share too, and that if I did not agree he would file for divorce, and this way he could also get half the right to use it. I was very sad and felt he was terrifying, a completely different person from before marriage. From then on I began to suspect his motives for wanting to marry me in the first place. I called my family and cried, just wanting to vent my emotions at the time. Unexpectedly, when I woke up the next day I heard arguing at home. It turned out my parents had rushed over. They loudly reprimanded my husband, and also said that back then they had been cautious, and the property deed had their names as a couple written on it, so this house was lent by them for us young couple to live in, and had nothing at all to do with him and his mother. If he was tired of living here and could not stand it here, he could just get out and roll away himself.

My husband's arrogance vanished all at once, and he was bowing and scraping in front of my parents. Watching my husband's meek and submissive appearance, I felt very satisfied, and at the time I was delighted. I think that no matter what happens to our marriage in the future, my parents will always be my support. As long as they are around, others had better not think they can bully me as they please. Everyone, am I right?
