We have been married for about 2 months and my wife and mother do not get along at all. I feel stuck between them... How would you behave in such a situation?
It's difficult to say what I would do without more information. Did they hate each other before the marriage? Did one do or say something to the other to start the riff? Is there any justification for the distaste the women in your life have for each other?

Be the man dawg and they'll them to chill the fuck out. You didn't ask permission from your mother to marry your wife. And tell your wife you didn't marry her to fall in love with the family. Tell her you married her not to dislike your mother, or to put up with your brother who's a thief, or your cousin who's a lesbian and a drunk. Tell her you asked her to marry you so you guys can start a family of your own. Fuck everybody else.
Pull your Mom aside and have a talk with her as to why she isn’t getting along with your wife , do not side with your Mom unless you want your marriage to end , Make your wife your number 1 priority , so talk to your Mom and get down to the bottom of why they aren’t getting along , if your Mom isn’t willing to make amends with your wife then keep your wife away from your Mom period
You have to speak to both of them together and be their mediator. Clearly tell them they’re both very important to you in your life and you need them to get along as you guys are one family now. And be very firm and serious about them and tell them them not getting along is not only hurting you but breaking you guys up. And if both they love you, they’d understand and try to compromise.

Your role is to on your wife's side. At least you are going to have peace in your home. This is something that can ruin a relationship. Your mum is always your mum, let your dad be with her, comfort her. Who is right is not important, but saving your relationship is.
If you can't be in your wife's side, you can't be with her. Your mum is older, she was once a daughter in law, she will know to defend herself.
Keep those two separate. When one of them starts trying to talk shit about the other one, put their ass in check.
Just be good with both. And pretend you are not interested to listen any complaints from anyone either it be your mom or wife. And somehow make them also feel both are equally important for you without hurting anyone
I wouldn't have married someone that didn't like my mother.. so I don't know what to suggest... Only I am allowed to hate my family lol
who do you think would have your back more if you ever hit rock bottom?
Stick with your wife or you won't have a wife to worry about
Some moms never let go of thinking that no woman is good enough for their sons. Have a chat with your mom. As others have pointed out, if you side with mom your wife will leave.
Your mother comes first, mothers are there for you no matter what, wifes come and go.
Hand them both a pistol tell them to walk 20 paces turn and fire
I suggest earplugs!
Take turns living with each of them part time.
