Worried I'm overreacting to MIL's behavior

MIL texted husband 11 times during 2-week honeymoon, then reached out to me after we returned home

What I wish I knew
"How to handle MIL's overbearing behavior without hurting her feelings"
If I could tell you one thing
"Set clear boundaries with family members to maintain a healthy relationship"
