Her Fiancé’s Mom Told Her That She Always Thought Her Son Would End Up With A Woman Who Looked More Like A Princess, Which Made Her Cry
Mothers-in-law can be brutal. Many women get married to men whose moms are fabulous and welcoming. However, there’s also that population of mothers-in-law that makes you feel super alienated.
One woman shunned her future mother-in-law after she said she always thought her son would end up with someone who looked more like a princess.
She’s 29, and her 27-year-old fiancé is very close with his mom. He’s an only child, and his parents only live about six houses down from them, so she visits often.
Two weeks ago, his fiancé was visiting his mom, and she said something that shocked him. First, her future mother-in-law asked her fiancé if she had lost weight. She’s a five foot-five curvy woman, so hearing her fiancé’s mom ask about her body like that was uncomfortable.
Her fiancé said he didn’t know if she had lost weight and hadn’t asked her. When he asked his mother-in-law to elaborate, his mom said, “I always pictured you with a princess or mermaid. You know someone taller and thinner. I just feel bad I didn’t say something sooner and intervened in the relationship before it got this far.”
Shocked by his mom’s words, her fiancé could hardly say anything at the moment. After making those comments, his mom left, and her fiancé told her everything once she came home.
“I obviously was devastated,” she recalled.
“His mother and I had an amazing relationship before this and were extremely close.”
She tried so hard to be a good future daughter-in-law. For instance, her fiancé’s family isn’t from the U.S., so she did her best to learn their native language to make it easier for them to communicate and would always invite them out to gatherings.

Her future mother-in-law seemed to always appreciate her efforts and often told her she loved her. Now, she feels like it was all fake and that her fiancé’s mom was just being phony and hiding behind how she truly felt.
The following day, they called her fiancé’s mom over to their house to explain what was happening in her mind. Instead of apologizing for what she said, she repeated herself, then said she was so relieved to say how she felt out loud and hoped it wouldn’t ruin their relationship.
“I cried, and my fiancé told her to leave,” she remembered.
“I have not directly spoken to her since.”
While her fiancé initially supported her, now he thinks she should move on and accept his mom back into her life, especially because she eventually apologized. However, she’s having a hard time accepting her apology.
Should she forgive her future mother-in-law, or were her words too hurtful?
