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
CaitiieBuggs tells us more.
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:)

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

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 well do you really, really know your fiancé? If she truly thinks she can take care of ALL of his needs, either (ee) she is woefully ignorant of adult male sexuality (not likely), or there are some "family secrets" that ought to make you run for the hills!

What's the (ee) after either mean?

#43, I noticed that sometimes I pronounce the word ee-ther and sometimes I say eye-ther. I wanted to see if I used one more than the other, so I started keeping track by writing (ee) or (eye) to indicate which one I would have said had I read it aloud. As it turns out, I use (ee) much more.

She's afraid to be alone. That's what you call selfish. She isn't thinking about her sons happiness but rather her own.

Mommy issues? She needs some counseling, and if OP's fiancee ends this relationship, then he needs assistance even more.

In the movie IT, the nerdy kid with asthma had a mom that was just as bad. She forbid him to play with kids and told her reason that "The only friend you need in life is your dear old Mom. OP...if you have kids, imagine how much worse she will become! O.O

Never too late to stand up for yourself! Insist on moving. That really sucks. Marriage is supposed to make life wonderful not make you miserable!!!

#42, can you move? If not, would your husband be supportive of you just not having anything to do with her?
