This Woman's Post Against Mother-In-Law Has Internet's Attention

A woman recently shared her struggles on Reddit, seeking advice and support concerning her challenging relationship with her future mother-in-law. In her post, she described dealing with false rumours apparently circulated by her mother-in-law. According to the post, the bride-to-be detailed her mother-in-law’s persistent efforts to undermine her, including exclusion from conversations and condescending remarks.

Taking to the lengthy post, the bride-to-be wrote, “MIL (Mother-in-law) has never tried to have a positive relationship with me. She makes sure I’m not included in conversations, belittles my achievements & talks down to me.”

Take a look:

The situation escalated when she was planning her fiance’s 30th birthday and the mother-in-law opposed every detail of the celebration and accused the bride-to-be of not understanding her fiance. She wrote, “MIL fought me on every detail and accused me of not knowing my fiance at all. (I planned a golf weekend away for him and his family) he loves golf.”

“Fiance confronted MIL and asked why she doesn’t like me. MIL admitted she didn’t like me. I don’t like my partner driving me to his family events, didn’t like it took me a month to find employment when I moved to a different town to be with my fiance. Fiance receives calls and texts from MIL daily. If he doesn’t respond, she blames me. Fiance told her if she doesn’t stop this behaviour toward me he will no longer speak with her,” the woman added.

Talking about what happened at her fiance’s brother’s wedding, the woman shared, “Wedding day arrives and we were to be at the venue at 4 pm. Five minutes to 2 pm fiance; receives a call from MIL saying the family photo shoot is in 5 minutes. We hadn’t been told of a family photo shoot. MIL demands we arrive at 2 pm for it. We frantically got ready and arrived at the house where the wedding was. There was never a photo shoot planned. MIL comes out in her pajamas and tries to hand me suit shirts to iron. I refused. MIL snaps at me asking where my son is. He was never coming. He’s at the hotel. MIL continues stating everyone thought he would be there. I responded he was never coming and we RSVP just us. She has been told multiple times he wasn’t coming.”

After the ceremony, guests started asking where her son was. She responded that he was at the hotel. However, she noticed people giving her disapproving looks, and her new friends stopped talking to her.

Sharing on Reddit, the woman, who chose to stay anonymous, said her mother-in-law didn’t let the guests know her son’s age. “Now fiance wants to cancel the wedding and elope because of MIL. Fiance is demanding I speak with MIL one last time for him to cut her off,” she concluded her post.

The post garnered significant attention on the platform, amassing over three thousand upvotes and multiple comments from Redditors condemning the mother-in-law’s behaviour. Many users advised the bride-to-be to consider eloping and uninviting the mother-in-law from the wedding. The online community rallied around the woman, guiding handling the situation and expressing support for her decision.
