Today, I was reading through a local wedding mag's advice page. A mother-in-law to be was writing about how to handle wanting her son to break off his engagement. I thought, "Wow. That must suck. I'm glad I like my mother-in-law to be." And then I saw her name. FML

Today, I met my future mother-in-law. All went well; she complimented my dress, and I complimented her haircut. Then she and her son had a screaming match over how our children will be fat because of their mother. FML

Felicia doesn't approve

Today, my fiancé and I met his mother for lunch to discuss wedding plans. When we got there, I went to the bathroom to wash my hands. I heard a woman talking on her cell phone in the stall about her son's "disgusting, slutty girlfriend." The toilet flushed and my future mother-in-law walked out. FML

The matchmaker

Today, my mom has been aggressively trying to get me to marry one of her coworkers, who is around my age. Apparently she loves her like the daughter she always wanted, and since it would be silly to adopt her; she is determined she will be her daughter-in-law instead, whether I like it or not. FML

Today, I called my mom to make sure she could attend on the wedding day my fiancé and I had discussed. She started off with criticizing the venue we considered, then went on to criticize my fiancé, and then stated she would under no circumstances help out, but demanded to pick my wedding dress. FML

That sucks. I don't even know what I would do in that situation. My boyfriend's mom hates me. . wont even look at me when I walk in a room (for no reason at all). At least now you know she's two faced.

Its one of those mothers that will always be an issue. Don't let it get in the way of what matters to you and your fiance. She's too stupid to realize that she's done mothering and needs to let him go.

Just remember, you're marrying the guy you love...not his mother. She can **** it.

so what did she say when you punched her? just kidding. you are a lot better than her for not being a person who is twofaced. don't worry about her, there are far more important people in your life. you don't need her approval to be the good person you are and marry her son! (: good luck!

It could be a coincedence?? Is there a location? Usually it takes a while for those to get published.Have u talked to her? Maybe show her and ask her about it? Leave your fiancé out of it. Be as poised as possible, listen to her concerns. But be sure to leave her feeling (if it's possible) that you should be getting married. That you'll both be happy. Maybe there is a findamental issue that she sees and is real. Maybe she just isn't ready to let go. I'd be heart broken if my future mother- in-law wrote that about me! I'm sorry!

I'm pretty cynical, but I'm just wondering why nobody has proposed that it may just be your betrothed trying to weasel his way out of marrying you... Maybe he submitted the request for advice under his mom's name in the hopes that you would see it.

But whatever u do don't ignore it! If she or u never say anything you'll always know she felt that way! Holidays, visits, you have to confront it so you can both get over it.
