Today, my future mother-in-law sent a nasty email to my mother, an angry phone call to my fiancé, and threatened to boycott his graduation and the wedding. Why? I didn't respond immediately to her emails about card boxes for the wedding. Card boxes. FML

OP here... thanks for the comments! My fiancé did essentially tell her to shove it. She did apologize (after missing his masters graduation), and he still hasn’t quite forgiven her. As for what this means for the future... luckily, my fiancé is NOT a mamas boy in the least, and is happy seeing her once or twice a year. He, my mother, and I have a bet going on what sets her off next. Personally, my money is on the day she realizes we aren’t giving her grandkids.

Just remind her it’s YOUR wedding and if need be she doesn’t need to attend. Someone tried to dictate a colour scheme of the bridesmaid dresses at my wedding. My wife and I said said no, she gave an ultimatum. We told her not to come. You do not have to please anyone else but you and your partner. Sure it’s nice for people to enjoy the day, but not at your expense.

what an overreaction! Now had it been polystyrene boxes, that would have been a different matter entirely!

You need to give him his balls back so he can tell mommy to STFU.

Don’t worry about her you not marrying her family only be concerned about your wife nobody else is important stay focused and be happy with your future wife

I’ve told my boyfriend that we need to just have a courthouse wedding and tell everyone once we’re safely off on our honeymoon. His mother is a malignant narcissist and a control freak.

Hahaha whenever someone says there not having kids they will have two at least, I've seen it many times including me, it's like it's Karma saying you wish for no kids I'll give you some,now looking back I wouldn't change a thing kids will make you feel like a whole person, laugh harder then you ever have, smile till it hurts 🤔😊
