Today, I was making wedding plans with my fiancé. His mother kept complaining about everything, and insisted it was pointless to plan because it's just our "first marriage." She then tried to convince him to dump me and move back in with her because "she's all he'll ever need." FML

Op here to give a year later update: After my husband confronted her about the comments she tried to backtrack and do that whole "you misunderstood what I was saying" thing, although she said it pretty damn directly, like word for word. Wedding happened without anymore major problems from her, hubby's sister on the other hand is a different story. Mother in law has tried to convince us to move in with her a few times since, but we've kindly declined each time, but she'll bring it up every so often. She has the idea we're only together because I'm pregnant (which I'm not, but with her logic this is year 5 of my pregnancy) and my husband has called her out on that too, so for all of those wondering, he does defend and stand up for me, even if it takes a little push from my end:)I picked a good one. Hope that answers any questions people had:)

What kind of mother doesn't want her own son to pursue and anchieve all of his dreams and goals in life?

Looks to me like she's a couple decades late cutting the umbilical cord.

How does your fiance feel about her comments? If he isn't calling her on it and shutting her down, postpone the wedding and get counseling or get out now while it is easy. If he is, probably you should still get counseling to work out those things that come up later that she'll try to muck up, for example, kids. Look for a counselor who isn't a happy family at all costs kind and one who doesn't have personal issues similar to yours (i.e. she hates her daughter in law and her daughter in law cut her off). One more thing, you don't have to have a relationship with her. Your fiance can see her without you from now til the end of whenever he's done with the old bat. Your children don't have to know her at all. If it were me, I'd have nothing to do with her (including not inviting her to the wedding) until she apologized specifically for what she did and not, "I'm sorry you feel that way," or "I'm sorry you misinterpreted my mean comments."

My dad's mom was always a mega bitch to my mom. The creepiest thing she ever said was that my dad and my aunt should have gotten married. It's even creepier because my aunt looks like my dad in female form. I wanted to puke.

Wow. And you're marrying into her family. She sounds like a nightmare.

If he does that then things never should have been.

This is how bridezillas are made. It's funny how many people think they have a say in your wedding planning. I'm paying for my own wedding and I've got family trying to invite work friends (aka people I don't know) and people "inviting" themselves. Weddings make people go crazy.

She needs to cut the cord and let him grow up.
