Today, my fiancé suggested we bring his elderly mother with us on our honeymoon. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my fiancé told me he wants to buy an engagement ring for his mother, so that she doesn't feel left out. FML
Today, my fiancée decided to go on a "vacation." Our wedding is tomorrow. FML
Today, a week after my fiancé and I got engaged, his mother is already complaining that she isn't involved enough in the wedding arrangements. We haven't even set a date yet. FML
Today, my mother told me that I could take a friend on vacation with us. Then she added that because I have no friends, my brother can bring his girlfriend instead. 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
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
Today, while planning for our trip next spring, my friend told me that she's decided that her mom is coming with us. It’s non-negotiable. FML
Today, I asked my fiancee to drive me to the airport for a business trip in a few days. She ranted angrily that she already had plans, so I asked my mom to take me instead. Now she's pissed and saying, "Why don't you just go marry your mommy, since she does everything for you?" FML
Today, my fiancé expressed concern for her mother's health and a desire to be with her in Texas. I called her mother, who is 69 years young and will outlive us all, and it came up that her brother's BFF, who my fiancé has been crushing on since she was a tween, just got divorced and moved back to Texas. FML
Today, I was asking my husband to help me finalize plans for our upcoming vacation. He, however, would rather pout and sulk because I don’t want him to bring his mom along. She’s been with us on our last few trips and it’s hard to get any alone time. I’m considering just going alone at this point. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

You've always known he's a Mama's Boy, but you accepted his marriage proposal anyway. His suggestion is just one more example of his inability to cut the apron strings. Think twice before taking your wedding vows to make sure you can handle having his Mom so involved in your relationship.

If it were me, I would probably go apeshit. For him to even suggest it, seems disturbing and ignorant. Hasn't he considered the fact that the whole point of a honeymoon is for the newlyweds to enjoy eachother as husband and wife... With the exclusion of all others? NO MOTHER IN-LAWS!

What an interesting fella. Maybe he wants her to check under the bed for monsters.

what!? you didn't want his mother to come on your honeymoon?? BECAUSE SHE WAS ELDERLY!?!? This is age discrimination at large and you probably would owe her an apology if she read this FML and got hurt feelings!

what's more romantic than that? this guy's an old school romantic. nothing beats the "bring ma to the honeymoon" play. it's a personal favorite in my romance play book.

leave him now while you can still do it cheaply and without as much work involved. that's just wrong.
