Wedding....blues..... Petty fmil Issues!!

Vivian, on October 10, 2019 at 11:49 PM Posted in Family and Relationships 0 8

Hey ppls.... first and foremost HAPPY PLANNING AND CONGRATS TO EVERY SINGLE PERSON READING THIS DISCUSSION N THANKS FOR READING MY RANT!!

OK .... now down to the issue.... I can not STAND MY FUTURE MOTHER IN LAW AT ALL..... me n her were once what i considered "Close" which i thought we had an AWESOME relationship but since June of 2019 all of what i felt and what i thought we had went out the WINDOW!!

OK so here is my thing I have no issues with being a protective mom because I have one (his mom n my mom are both virgos) but she HAS talked crap about her son to me thru messenger not even knowing me and him not only got back together but we were living together and if you are a iPad/iphone user thanukno your messages go across the screen.

Then she has lied on me to him saying she doesnt talk about him to when in fact he has seen it... she has attempted to play both side and pretends she knows things about us n our relationship when she doesnt.... I have watched her LIE on him to family just seeking attention wit the family just for his family to run to her aid n make him look like the bad guy and have him bend to her will...... even furthermore I watch as he needed medical attention (he still on her insurance) bcuz his job insurance had not kicked in but instead of providing the info so he could go to urgent care etc she drove an hour after she got off work to take him...... any way possible to wheel him in and keep him under her thump she will do it....

BUT with outsiders she puts on a whole front like she isnt in his business nor that she treats him petty..... she has gone so far as to go thru our messages and screen shot him and talk about it with her mother and friends....

I have literally sat up n watched her tell 1 friends business to another friend etc etc etc. It goes on people I personally BLOCKED her June 2019 because I am not about all that mess especially with keep up wit my grown son....

oh n the icing on the cake she has done ALL this n more while planning her own wedding!! She just got married September 1st to her 2nd husband on top of the several ailments she is battling. The husband lives in Chicago while she lives here in Arizona.... I am frustrated yall and I feel bad because between us ...

I am thinking about NOT marrying my FH bcuz of his mother and because she is too much and I deal wit things differently than he does... I am not mad about him caving to his mom here n there because we all have mom's but this is a bit much. And because we both have controlling overbearing moms BOTH of them have no idea we are engaged!! Just our wedding party.... just ugh I bought food last night for my FH lil brother and mind you I have spoken a word to this lady since JUNE because she read how I really felt about her meddling (I didn't use any disrespectful words) in the messages to my FH and she finds me on Instagram and send me the following dm message posted (mind you I bought food for EVERYBODY).... PLEASE TELL ME I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE DEALING WITH THE MOTHER IN LAW BLUES

    🏃‍♀️far and fast.

    Either that, or FH will have to distance himself from his Mom.

    She will not change.

    I’m so sorry that you have to deal with this. Getting/being a married is hard enough. You should NOT have to be subjected to this type of foolishness.

    🍀‼️

    My mom is something else but the lengths she goes my mother has NEVER done those things nor felt the need too. She eavesdrops on our convos etc just extremely nosey to the point I am thinking about not marrying him. I dont wanna sign up for life wit that and I feel bad because we cant control our mother's.... and it's a shame all of it and I kno she not going to change he thinks she will but I know better.

    Hey there, Vivian.

    I am really sorry to hear you have to deal with this situation. Sending you a big e-hug Smiley heart

    If this situation with your FMIL is making you doubt marrying your SO, it may be time to consider seeking couples counselling. He/she may be able to help you both work through this issue and forge your own path.

    Sending you lots of well wishes Smiley heart

    Repeat the serenity prayer in your mind. Repeat it again.

    If your relationship with your fiance is something to where you need to hide it from your parents, that's daunting. However, if you truly want to marry him, tell the parents, and he needs to step up for you (to her).

    Alyssa our parents know we are dating but they dont know we are engaged and planning a wedding. Our issue is if they knew the engagement part then all the negative would flow out of them and into our relationship. My mother knows we are together and for the most part she is cool with that portion. My parents (mom &stepdad) have been married since 1994 lol that's 25yrs his parents (mom&stepdad) were married for 10yrs they divorced May 2017. His mother remarried another person this past September. My point is dont rain on somebody else parade because of what you think you see in their partner. My mom got married at 33yrs old and his mom 1st marriage I think she got married at 25 or 26. They didn't allow anything or anyone to keep them from walking down with those men and when his mother choose to remarry I support her and went dress shopping with her threw ideas back and forth about colors and I even bought her a ticket to a wedding expo so she could enjoy the experience once again as a new bride. Now mind you at that time last year I was not even thinking about getting married nor did he ask me. Come what may I want to enjoy my moment and I want him to enjoy his moment without the negativity our mother's bring.

    Perhaps when you show him how strongly you feel about visiting someone, and that it will be together as a couple, he may be more likely to agree.
