I just want to know if I'm overreacting over this or no. Before I start my fmil is a very sweet lady. She has accepted me since my fh first introduced me. She doesnt have any daughters so shes been excited to finally have one. The thing is she likes to control everything. I've seen her go to parties and take over.
I noticed when we got engaged, she sat us down and asked about what kinda wedding we want. May I add my fh and I are paying for everything. I let her know i wanted a small dinner at a restaurant. She instantly got a pen and paper and started writing down everything I said. Later on she tells me she called a bunch of places and the prices. Also whenever her and I were alone, she would start asking me questions about the wedding. I had to invite her to help me pick my wedding dress cause she kept bugging my fh. Little things like this. I told my fh what she was doing and he told her to back off, which she did. Now buying a home, she overheard my fh and I talking about a house. She was on her phone looking for this house. She even told me she has called places and the price. I brought it up to my fh and he said shes just being helpful. I would prefer me asking for help. Out of him and my family, his mom has been trying to "help." I've been very respectful to her and never told her anything. I do let my fh know and he does bring it up to her. But I'm worried it will be like this for our entire marriage.
I brought it up to a friend and she said I shouldn't think this way cause at least she the one interested in this whole wedding. I havent told her everything and I dont want my fmil to seems like a bad person but just wanted an opinion on this. Know that I'm just overreacting. Thank you.
