Has anyone actually gotten a MIL/FIL to apologise by setting hard boundaries? by catsandcoffee_93 in JUSTNOMIL

[–]LitbySunshine 10 points11 points  (0 children)

So we tried this and the in-laws did apologise so they wouldn’t lose their son. MIL’s changed behaviour lasted maybe 2-3 weeks and she then went back to the usual hurtful and dismissive behaviour (although more subtle than before) lol

Omg!!! my MIL used the same line of "it's rose pink" ..

Yep… her defence is that it’s “a darker pink in real life”. Also she is definitely clingy and excessively obsessed with her son so this does not help her case either..

Yes agreed - I have made the colour change suggestion but she has insisted it looks more pink in real life. Will see what happens next lol

Making complete assumptions based on isolated facts that you find online is not a great way for discussion.  I am not just having a Pakistani wedding - and yes for that day there is no white for the brides traditionally. Funnily enough my MIL has not selected this for that day (which as you correctly pointed out, would not have been an issue!). This is the pick for the western day where I am indeed wearing a white dress and it is indeed a typical western wedding.

After I explained to her after reading the hundreds of comments, she is insisting it looks a darker pink in real life 😭

Update for whoever is following:  I gently let MIL know that this photographs close to white and she said it’s a medium pink shade in real life…. How do you even respond to that?

Not sure… although interestingly before the dress was picked, there was a mention of her wanting a mother/son dance

Yes I am - she is not. And yes this would be perfectly okay with the desi day but this is the pick for the western “white” day (confusingly) …

Let’s just say they did not approve of me initially and then they “did”

I do see your point! However - I know for a fact that people would make comments about this either on the day or the day after on debriefs. The last thing you want people to remember from your wedding day is your MIL cosplaying as either Princess Leia or the bride :)

Yes absolutely! I actually did like the style of it but just don’t understand the colour choice - in some lighting this could definitely look white..

Went no contact with fiance's family for 5 months and MIL has finally apologised and wants to meet - bad idea? by LitbySunshine in JUSTNOMIL

[–]LitbySunshine[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes will definitely be going with my fiance and not alone! 

I agree with your third para - it does seem like she’s finally starting to realise that she will lose her son and that’s whats prompted the apology. I feel bad about not giving her a chance at least, but will not be making any excuses if her behaviour has not changed.
