have patience n ur advantage is that ur husband is supportive ma sha ALLAH.the way ur father in law states it seems to me u shift to other country if u want to stay seperate as he might be hurt or else tell ur husband to explain them politely that u want to shift somewhere near n u ppl will always be around call eveyday atleast see them twice a week an all.
There's no special barakah or blessing in living with relatives, unless one is living with his parents in order to take care of them in their old age. But in general, as a wife, you have a right to expect a residence of your own, for you and your family.
If the problem is that your husband cannot afford a flat of his own, then let him know that you are willing to accept someplace very small and modest, just as long as it's separate. Don't frame it in terms of disliking your in-laws, but in terms of wanting to enjoy privacy with your husband.
Let your husband know that this is important to you; and be patient until he can make it happen Insha'Allah.
I think continuing your studies is a good idea as well, especially since you have no children yet.
As a last note, have you noticed that your post has been up for a while but has received very few replies? People will not take the time to read a post that is written with very poor spelling like this. I personally found it difficult to understand. You are an engineer and you say you want to continue your studies, so I'm sure that you are capable of writing in proper English. Writing in proper English is better in every way. You come across as being intelligent and professional, and people can better understand your meaning.
