Hi everyone,
I'm new to this site and I need some christian advice on something...
Here's a little background....
I've only been married for a few months and my husband and I had to move in with his mom temporarily. (If your wondering why we had to move back in with his mom, It was either her home or living on the streets. We literally had no choice.) So anyways, Her home is very cute but small so we're very very close to each other.Both my husband and his mom work during the day and pretty much come home at the same time, So we really don't have much alone time together. I want to be respectful so I no longer kiss,hug or even hold hands with my husband. This is so new for us because before this My husband and I were living on our own for a while so we naturally did those things all of the time. My husband and I have talked and he says it's okay for us to cuddle while she's home, However I don't want to make her uncomfortable. I'm still getting to know his mom and I just want her to like me.
So on one hand....
I want to respect his mom and want her to like me. I also don't want to make her uncomfortable.
On the second hand...
I barely see my husband anymore because he works so often. (He works early and comes home late so we literally have like 5 hours to talk before he's back to sleep and up again for work.) So when I see him at the end of the day I just want to kiss and hug him.
With all this being said...What should I do?? Am I being a good wife? Am I being a good daughter in law? Is this going to change my marriage? (My husband already thinks I don't want to cuddle or be affectionate towards him which is not true.) I feel so conflicted and I just want to make them both happy.
P.S. ~ We tried cuddling once when she was home because my husband insisted on it and I missed him so badly, So we tried that and she seemed uncomfortable because every time I'd lay on his chest she would ask him to do something. So, I sensed she was trying to politely tell us that this made her uncomfortable.
Thank you all for your replies, I'm definitely going to seek The Lord about this.
