Today, my fiancé told me he wants to buy an engagement ring for his mother, so that she doesn't feel left out. FML

Tell him maybe he should marry his mom. If he aggrees, that gives you the perfect chance to find someone that's not so much of a "momma's boy"

Tell Oedipus there that he doesn't have to buy his mom an engagement ring because you're giving yours back to him. I'm really hoping that he's just really stupid and not actually desperate to have his mom involved in every part of his life.

Just wait, she will want a matching wedding dress too. Put your foot down on this now op, or you will regret!

I don't understand this. Maybe OPs mom was an unmarried mother who never went through the whole marriage experience and wants to make up for it now?? What's next? He'll take her on the honeymoon? Have sex with her on the honeymoon, so she wont feel left out? Honey, if she doesn't want to be left out, she needs to be kicked right out.

Get out while you can I'm serious. I had pretty much the same problem with my son's father's mom. My son is turning one on the 26th if this month and I tried to plan his party but his mom just decided we were going to have his party at her house on Thanksgiving. If I even try to say anything she acts like I'm ungrateful. LEAVE.

UnIt's your child tell her to **** off and either show up at the party you throw or don't show up, up to her... Don't let her control anything once you start it will never stop

if I do that then he wont have anyone at his party because I don't have a lot of family where I live and most of my friends don't have children. she's done this since the day he was born.

I had to respond to this one too... If there's nobody at his party, that is fine. Girl, get out and make some friends, put him in a daycare class and spend the day there with him meeting other parents as they drop off and pick up. Arrange play dates, and bring them to the party. Better yet, have the party there at a local daycare as a way to let your little one meet all these new friends, and let him go a few times here and there to keep those friends. You have nobody to blame but yourself if you let this grandma that you have NO OBLIGATION TOWARDS ruin this for you. Much better to have just the two of you enjoying time together than to let him feel that grandma is his real mother. And believe me that is her goal.

As long as the diamond on your ring is bigger an he isn't with his mom on your wedding night, I sure everything is going to work out

Run as fast as you can. This is only the beginning!
