Pipe down, Brenda

By Anonymous - 20/05/2016 19:38 - United States - San Antonio

Today, my soon-to-be mother-in-law decided that she is going to be in charge of planning my wedding. All decisions must be approved by her, and anything she doesn't like will be thrown out. She also wants to go on our honeymoon with us to make sure I don't "defile" her son. FML

So I created an account just so I could comment on your FML feel special. But seriously this is a HUGE sign of what your marriage will look like, I am assuming your fiancé is a momma's boy or he would have put his foot down in the beginning. 2nd this is YOUR wedding if you are serious about this then there won't be any do overs this is your chance to have the wedding of your dreams. 3rd if you don't stop this now your mother in law with constantly be on your back telling you what to do and it will only get worse once y'all have children. Really think this over maybe talk to some friends to get advice. Btw congratulations!

Just say 'no'. It's not that hard.

Obviously OP shouldn't let this happen, but sometimes simply saying "no" really isn't enough.

Uh, yeah, it is. N-O. Two letters. One syllable. Two-year-olds use it all the time. If it doesn't get through her thick skull the first time, just keep saying it until it sinks in. Don't invite her to "help" with any planning or labor. If she's this toxic, then she's only going to sabotage it in any way she can. "But it's the grooms mother! Sure she should be involve–" Again, NO. If it drives her away from the both of them, then more power to the new couple. Shitheads like her need to be cut out of your life, regardless of blood ties.

If your fiancé isn't taking your side in this, then I'd suggest walking away. This is setting the tone for your entire married life.

I thought the whole point of the honeymoon was for you to defile her son. I guess she doesn't want grandkids. Now's the time to put your foot down and stand up for yourself, or this is how the rest of your life will be...

Try to convince her that you are going on a destination honeymoon to someplace expensive like Hawaii, and that she should "go first" to inspect the hotel room.

It's time for you to learn the power of the word "no".

Stop this right on its tracks. You don't want her to ruin your marriage before it starts because she thinks she has the right to make decisions about your relationship with her son. And coming to the honeymoon so you don't "defile" her son? Is she thinking you 2 aren't going to be having sex? Because after marriage even religion gives the thumbs up.

Well, OP, it sounds like you're engaged to a mama's boy. If he doesn't wake up and see what's going on very soon, you should definitely reconsider who you're about to spend your life with.
