| 0:00.0 | My crazy entitled mother-in-law demands that she wear a white dress at my wedding while also requesting I wear anything else, claiming that because she didn't get to experience a wedding, she deserves the right to walk down the aisle and feel what it's like. But after I found out that my fiance is somehow okay with this plan, I put my foot down and I told him that is absolutely not going to happen. And now at this point, I'm thinking I might need to call off the wedding because I seriously do not know what to do. Here's what happened. So have you ever seen I love a mama's boy? Well, that's my life, basically. I'm a 27-year-old female, and I've been with my fiancé who we will call John ever since high school. We dated and broke up because his mother, |
| 0:38.3 | who we will call Debbie, convinced him that we were too young to be in love. So we broke up and went to |
| 0:43.4 | college. During my sophomore year, we started talking on socials again. He apologized and said that he |
| 0:48.8 | missed me, and eventually we got back together. Well, cue the waterworks. Debbie literally cried the |
| 0:54.0 | first time she saw that we were back together and told John cue the waterworks. Debbie literally cried the first time she saw |
| 0:55.0 | that we were back together and told John that I have done witchcraft on him. I've always respected |
| 0:59.6 | Debbie out of respect for my mother and upbringing. And I was not raised to go back and forth |
| 1:04.2 | with my elders, but she definitely messes with that. Since John and I decided to get back together, |
| 1:09.4 | she has tried to hook him up with women from her church, as well as her job, and even asked her friends for their daughters to give it a shot. John denies all of them, and Debbie says that I'm controlling. John has also told her to stop, but not in a way that I feel gets the point across. Anyways, three months ago, John proposed, and of course, Debbie didn't come to the engagement party. And it's like, cool, whatever. She also didn't come to the family dinner so we could have both sides meet each other. But fortunately, John's dad did come, and he apologized for his ex's behavior. And yes, he left her when John graduated high school. But when John's dad did that, I told him, don't worry about it. Now, the problems really began when John decided to confront his mother about how she's behaving towards our whole engagement. This turned on the light bulb in his brain, as he's always tried to ignore it and tell me to ignore her. She gave him some kind of sob story about how she got pregnant with him before marriage, and she never really got to have a wedding, and that this is so triggering for her. And for reference, she basically had a forced wedding |
| 2:05.2 | at the courthouse. He then asked her what she needed to feel comfortable, and she responded |
| 2:09.4 | that if she wore a white dress at my wedding, and if I wore some kind of pink or lavender dress, |
| 2:14.4 | only then would she feel comfortable. Now, my fiance for some reason thought |
| 2:18.5 | that this was a fair compromise. He also said, and not asked me, by the way, that his mom could |
| 2:23.7 | walk me down the aisle so that she can get her moment in her dress. But I told him absolutely |
| 2:29.0 | not. We then got into an argument about it. I told him that it is absolutely insane that he |
| 2:33.9 | would argue |
| 2:34.4 | with me to defend his mom's honor, but wouldn't do the same the other way around. He accused |
| 2:39.3 | me of being petty and selfish. I mean, this was really bad. We both agreed to cool off, |
| 2:44.1 | but by how heated it got, I could tell we both almost agreed to call it off. Well, right now we're |
| 2:49.2 | in a weird space, and I love John, but I now see how much he lets her impact our life. I just imagine her sitting at home with this evil grin, knowing that she's ruining my relationship with John, and he's just putty in her hands. At this point, I think I should just call off the wedding, because right now I really don't know what to do. Dear God, your fiancee is absolutely delusional. This is not a compromise. His mom is literally trying to be some kind of like pretend bride at your wedding. Like this is some crazy level of narcissism. It's not even funny. And the fact that she's trying to be like, oh, this is how I can feel better. If your wife wears something besides white at her own wedding, I'll feel good about it. It's like, what are we talking about? If she wants to have some kind of moment of walking down the aisle in a dress, she can do that on her time and her dime. So the fact that your fiance is like, oh, come on, this is just to help her out. Like, that is crazy to me and that is absolutely unacceptable. Like, seriously, who in their right mind would be okay with this? Their stupid mom is being like, oh man, I should wear white at your wedding, not your bride to be. But it's like, do you hear yourself right now? Why on earth is John agreeing to this? So truly, I hope this all works out for you. And I really hope John sees the light of day, because his mom sounds like an absolute psychopath. If you like Am I the Jerk, |
