“To be honest I was and it was embarrassing because I felt she could sense it. I said the proposal doesn’t matter and she said she feels like that is just something society wants women to believe so they have low standards.”
“The last straw was when she told my proposal story to her stepdaughter who made a face, and then MIL said maybe I don’t mind boring because I am an accountant.”
Well, that was all she could take. She snarled back at her mother-in-law that if she made any more comments, she would no longer be invited to their wedding.
Her mother-in-law was surprisingly not taken aback by this; in fact, she said she’s planning on traveling out of the country anyway.
“MILs husband (enabler from hell) said she is just acting like this because she is mad that I got engaged the day before her birthday and showed up to her huge (think luxury wedding size) party wearing my ring,” she continued.
“I didn’t even think of it but that makes sense because MIL’s best friend “accidentally” ruined my outfit and I had to leave.”
Her mother-in-law’s husband did say that she needs to go and apologize to her mother-in-law, but she doesn’t want to do that at all.
Now that some of her fiancé’s other family members also are of the opinion her mother-in-law is just trying to even the score with her, she is wondering if she should let this go and move on.
