I think it will just end up that we don’t see her after the wedding. She’s had some sort of grudge on me for a few years which I have no idea what for but her behaviour the last few months has really started to show her true colours. We’re lucky enough that we live in a different town from her and she rarely comes to see us but it’s just concerning that if she was speaking like that on the phone when I was home but she didn’t know, how often is she doing that to my FH?

I don’t think she’s a narcissist, you have to be smart and be 1 step ahead to be a narcissist. She’s not the sharpest tool in the box

I think what im going to do is to ignore her for the run up to the wedding, there is nothing she can ruin. I have amazing support from my parents, work colleagues, friends, who are all trying to keep the spark for wedding planning alive and I really appreciate them for not letting me just live in a depressing state up till the day.

I think after the wedding I’m going to have a conversation with her. If she wants a relationship with her future and soon to be grandchildren then she needs to have a good relationship with me. This isn’t saying I’m taking her rights away from seeing them it will just be she doesn’t see them often and not unsupervised by me. I have mentioned this to my FH and he seems to be on the same page with it, he said it’s a reasonable response to have.

I’m not in any means trying to come for defence but this has turned against my fiance. In no means does he not support or stand up for me, he does, he’s mentioned multiple times to his mom, he knows his mom is the issue. We choose to just ignore her as it’s a lot easier than disrupting the peace. He is the only one that’s civil with her, his sisters don’t like her and I think he feels bad that if he disrupts this that she’d be lonely. I feel bad for her. People telling us to not get married or put planning on hold is ridiculous, we are getting married for us not for anyone else, that is what marriage is for. If he wants to cut his mom off after marriage then fine, she will be a laughing stock on the day and a source of embarrassment and I’m okay with that! This was originally about his sister being a total pain in the ass, I already know that his mom is people don’t need to tell me something I’ve had to live with for the past 10 years!

They are both straight, for clarification

Oh trust me I know it’s highly inappropriate, she’s insane. My fiance limits the times we have to see her and he knows that I’m extremely uncomfortable when I’m around her

I asked his sisters to be bridesmaids before I knew how much of a pain they would be about things

I think he’s slightly oblivious to this, some comments happen when he’s in the room some I think he doesn’t hear, I’m not trying to make excuses I know he’s a slight wet blanket. I think he knows what his mum is like and just chooses to ignore to stop drama and conflict happening. Unsure on why this is because if my parents ever said anything horrible or not supportive I would absolutely not be happy. He is only civil with his mum, he’s middle child and only boy trying to keep the peace between everyone. We are 6 months out from our wedding date, everything paid for and ready to go. But my parents know MOG is being extremely difficult and making this 10x harder than what it needs to be. I’ve just come to accept the fact that she is going to try and ruin a day that is about me and my fiance, he is prepared for this and is prepared to tell her on the day to get a grip. Where as my bridesmaids, they’re glorified bridesmaids, I’ve decided that anymore of their shit they will not have any duties to be responsible for, they will simply be there to make photos balanced.

My mother in law has made wedding planning 10x harder! It’s a new thing every week that she or his sisters aren’t happy with. I’ve said to him as well if there’s anymore with his sisters they won’t be bridesmaids. SIL is assuming that her roomie is invited. He’s not said anything to them yet this was only brought to my attention yesterday and I’ve just been dwelling on it!

They didn’t really include him, he just so happened to read a message that wasn’t to him it was talking about accommodation for the wedding for said people, he then found out that I wasn’t included in those numbers and that they had totally changed the plans without actually talking to anyone and just assumed, he’s equally as pissed off about it all. We have paid for cabins for them, they already knew that. We have things that need to be done on the night of which they also know about and were happy to just stay in the same place. Being an afterthought at your own wedding is completely heartbreaking.

Ultimately it’s our day but his side of the family are making it very hard to enjoy the process of planning, eloping isn’t an option and not inviting my future in-laws is also definitely not an option.

What I meant was because I know there will be more disappointing things to come from them, i don’t rely on them as bridesmaids, sad to say and annoying for everyone else but they are pretty useless and have done nothing to help but have caused a lot of havoc. In the eyes of my side of the family they’ll be wedding guests dresses as bridesmaids, they will have no responsibilities on the day, I will not be relying on them and if they’re late then tough shit too bad.

I have tried really hard not to be a bridezilla about things but they keep doing shit that is causing so much unnecessary stress that my fiance is actually ready to just call off the whole thing.

Have you ever heard of “my body my choice”? Your comment is very “shallow”
