His Mother Showed Up To His Wedding With His Late Wife’s Parents, So He Kicked Her Out
Six years ago, this man tragically lost his wife. They dated for four years before being married for just one year. Then, she sadly passed away, and the loss was felt by both him and his family.
“My mom loved her as a daughter since I am her only child, and I guess she never truly recovered,” he explained.
However, he met another woman named Helena after his wife died, and the pair truly fell in love. So now, he is certain that his late wife was not the love of his life– even though he cared for her in a special way.
Despite that, though, his mother has apparently never liked Helena or their relationship. In fact, his mother believes that he moved on “too quickly” and refuses to acknowledge that he could possibly love Helena more than his late wife.
And his mother apparently made Helena know about her disapproval since they began dating. But Helena was just trying to get accepted into the family and asked him not to make a big deal about his mother’s actions. So, he refrained.
Well, that was until the pair got engaged this year and started planning their wedding, and his mother would not stop comparing the two ceremonies.
For example, when he and his late wife got married, they were young and could not afford a huge event. Now, though, he is very financially stable and can afford to host a big and beautiful wedding.
But, the real cherry on top was when his mother asked him several times to invite his late wife’s parents.
She claimed that the invite would be an “act of love,” but he found his mother’s request to be totally bizarre.

After all, he has not spoken to his late wife’s parents in years and has absolutely no reason to keep them in his life.
Still, his mother would not stop insisting. And at that point, even Helena was on board since she wanted to avoid any familial conflict.
Regardless, though, he just did not want his mother to have any more control or say in his marriage.
“I felt like my mom had held onto my previous marriage too hard– refusing to let go and inviting me to do the same,” he said.
“And as bad as it sounds, I was done. I want to be with Helena without the burden of always having my ex-in-laws there– watching the life their daughter and I did not have.”
So, he finally turned his mother’s request down one last time and did not even think about the issue any further.
But then, literally on his wedding day, his mother pulled a fast one and actually showed up with his late wife’s parents.
Obviously, he was completely blindsided and asked his ex-in-laws what they were doing there. They apparently looked pretty ashamed and revealed that his mother had invited them and told them it was okay with him.
His mother supposedly even said they were “his family” and that he was obligated to include them in the event.
So, in an effort to avoid conflict in the middle of his wedding, he basically told his ex-in-laws that they could stay. Still, he clarified that his mother had lied about the invite.
Then, he turned to deal with his mother and told her she was no longer welcome at the wedding. And she totally freaked out.
“She cried and begged, but I asked her again to leave. And in the end, the three of them left together,” he vented.
Unfortunately, though, the drama did not end there– because afterward, his father ended up calling him a total jerk for kicking his mother out.
In turn, he has been left really upset by his mother’s deliberate defiance on his wedding day. At the same time, though, he is not sure if making her leave was the right way to handle the situation.
If your mother showed up to your wedding with people you explicitly told her not to invite, would you be pissed, too? Do you think he had a right to kick her out? What would you have done in his shoes?
