lena1 is verified as being by the original poster of the question thank you for your answer.
i wanted to move out because of other problems i posted it before,but he said no because before we get married i chosed to stay with his mom,and he told me i cant change my mind every time i want.
and that s what i told him this morning,i told him to stop telling me what she should eat or not ,she doesnt listen and if something happen to her i am not gonna be servant all my life,but he did not like.
i think he is expecting me to take care of her if something bad happen to her .
if she was care full and she watch what to eat i will not have problem taking care of her if something bad happen to her,but now every time we talk about her health she doesnt care,so why should I.
i know that bothered him because she is his mom,but she desnt listen at all.
and i want to move out now but he did not want too because he wants to take care of her.
what i dont understand before we get married he was offering that and i said no,but when time comes and i wanted to do it, he told me she cant live alone.
if he does not want her to live alone why he was offering before?because he knows i am stupid and i have good heart and i was feeling sorry for her and i was going to refuse the offer.
that what bothering the most.
she is not bad women just too knowsy which i dont like.
I love my husband but i am tired of living this way,i dont know what to do.

 Your MIL ( mother in law) is having WAY too much fun butting in your and your husbands lives.
I assume you live with her? If so maybe it's time for you two to get out on your own.
Yes, I agree with you that she is old enough to make her own choices as for food and stuff, but he is only trying to take care of his mom. However he is enabling her. She is acting like a kid in the candy store and she SHOULD know better, but I think she actually likes all the attetion from her sonv over it.
Personally I would not get into any of the issues with food and drink. Let it go and focus on yourself. Don't try and mother your husband, but don't try and let him help his mom.
