Today, my mother-in-lawyer threatened to sue me unless I took my professional wedding photographs off Facebook, as she didn't like that they made her look fat. She is over 300 pounds. FML

Today, my future mother-in-law started shit-talking me on Facebook, and we got into a heated argument. She called me later in the day, saying I'll be lucky if I ever marry her son and that, "You'll suffer to your last breath." I'm now terrified to set foot outside. FML

Today, my future mother-in-law tried to blackmail me out of the wedding with photographs of me with another man. Her son and I met on a swingers website and we both have multiple sexual partners, so we had to tell her the truth. Awkward doesn’t begin to describe it. FML

Today, a 300 lb woman caused a huge scene at the public pool where I work. She accused me of fatshaming and swore to sue me for discrimination. I asked her to cover up, as her 3x too small string bikini went against the pool’s dress code. I don’t make the rules, I just have to enforce them. FML

Today, I was subpoenaed on behalf of my mother-in-law. My husband said if I didn't defend her and consequently lie under oath, our marriage is over. She said, "I can get rid of two problems in one day!" FML

Today, I spent thirty minutes on the phone with my best friend's mom, because her daughter was too afraid to tell me that I'm no longer a bridesmaid at her wedding because I'm too fat. FML

Today, on Facebook, my sister posted a ton of photos of herself wearing a skimpy bikini, commenting that she looked hideous and fat. I can't stand attention-seeking fuckballs, so I called her on it. My mother then condemned me for "mocking" my sister, and grounded me for an entire month. FML

You can use a feature on Facebook that blocks a certain person from viewing a specific picture. Try that maybe?

Do what I did when my aunt complained about the photos I posted on Facebook of our Christmas family gathering... simply cut her out from those who can see the photos and make it a verbal agreement to all those who can see it to not tell her. Works like magic!

I would understand being upset if they were candid shots. I had some really awful pictures taken of me at a birthday party once. But I just asked the girl to remove them and she did. But posing for wedding pictures and then asking for them to be removed is stupid. If you stood there for the hour or so it took to get all the shots, then you have no reason to complain

Tell her it's not the pictures that make her look fat, it's her fat that makes her look fat.

crop her fat ass out of the pictures then. but I don't think she can sue just bc she thinks she looks fat in the pictures. she's just threatening.

If you paid for the photos, then they are your property and therefore you are free to disperse them in the manner you choose. Have your new husband/wife talk to their mom about what is and is not appropriate behavior. It's best to start off boundaries with the in-laws early on. If your mother-in-law is trying to bully you now, it will only get worse. Stand up to her (via your spouse) and nip this in the bud.
