While every relationship is a little different, it's likely that if we did a Family Feud-style survey of the biggest problems in a marriage, the number one answer would involve interference from the in-laws.
Because while there are some instances where this kind of outside attention can actually benefit people in a toxic relationship, it seems much more common for in-laws to meddle in affairs that simply aren't up to them.
In such cases, problem in-laws will often conflate what makes sense to them with what actually works in their children's relationships.
But as one engaged woman tells it, one situation that her potential mother-in-law started seemed to reveal just as much about the man she's about to marry.
