I am married to a man who had a hard time setting boundaries with his kids. And I mean adult children of 20 plus years. Now they are in their 40s and still on occasion push the envelope but it’s getting better. However it was a long and difficult journey.

It's unfortunate that it can affect you so much. The anxiety it can lead to is horrible. However, I learnt that it's so so important to have your partner on the same page as you. Glad it's much better for you now Valerie :)

I’m so fortunate that my parents never interfered or intervened in my married life. Neither do friends thankfully. Ethnicity can and does play a role in this. I dated an Italian man whose mother talked incessantly about children, where to live ect.. although good intentions, it felt intrusive. Be yourself , say little but do subtly let your intentions be known. Life’s a challenge, let this be a small one. God bless
