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
crazycatlady1890 tells us more.
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.

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

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.

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.
