Feeling sick to my stomach - MORE UPDATES w/ Mom's email to the BP!
Original post by RisiLeigh
So I know I've posted about what a nightmare my shower was due to drama between my MOH and my FSIL (BM). Essentially, FSIL took over and did everything. My MOH and other BM did nothing except hand over $200... well let me rephrase... my MOH handed over the money. FSIL is still waiting on most of the money from my BM.
Because I didn't want to know anything that was going on, everyone has all these pent up feelings and emotions. Well, last night, FH pretty much exploded on me. He told me that it's not right what my MOH and BM are doing. That if FSIL had let them plan the shower it would've been a misery and I wouldn't have been happy at all. He kept saying, 'What goes around, comes around,' which means what?? When it's their turn, he's going to limit what I do for them and how much I spend??? I could not even speak... I sat there at the table shaking like a leaf - I couldn't even look at him. He knew how upset I was and he's like, 'Now I'm getting annoyed so I'm going out for a cig.' Well good for you! What about how I feel now that you let it all out into my lap????? So he called FSIL and told her he told me. She is SO angry with him and she kept trying to tell me 'what really happened' but I also know 'what really happened' from my MOH and BM. So what am I sposed to do now???
I am PETRIFIED that this drama will come out at the RD and then the wedding day (the next time they are all together) even though they're all swearing to me that it won't. Yes well, they swore that about my shower too, and it happened.
I feel absolutely sick to my stomach! I haven't eaten since lunch yesterday. I took a Xanax but it's not doing a whole lot. I'm not really mad at FH for telling me, but what DOES bother me is how he feels about my 2 best friends b/c of all this. They are such a big part of my life, whether he and his family hate them or not! I just feel sick and I don't even know what to do anymore. And, I am alone all weekend b/c my parents are away and FH has some other things going on. So that isn't exactly keeping my mind occupied! Thank goodness I am going to my therapist Monday night. I think I am going to ask her if I can extend my session for like 5 hours!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry, ladies. I know this is long but I just really needed to get it out.

I AM SOOO SORRY! you poor thing. First.. i live on xanax too right now.. and i know how terrible it can feel to rely on meds just to feel ok..and even that doesn't work sometimes!! your friends and fsil need to suck it up and get over it for your sake.. this is supposed to be a truly happy time for you and these are not things you should have to worry about!!! I feel terrible that you are dealing with this.. and if you ever need to talk.. about anything.. just to keep your mind off of the craziness..you can always FM me!!!
p.s...your mom rocks!!!! go her for reminding everyone what's important and what's just silly right now!!!!! HUGS to you

That stinks that you are in this situation! My FSIL too is trying to push issues with my shower and thankfully my MOH is anti-every idea she has. (FSIL is into crafts and wanted it to be a crafting shower ... so not me!) It's good to have someone take charge of things that you can rely on them if you need them. That is why you picked them as friends and which is why you picked them to be part of your bridal party. Good luck sorry for the extra unnecessary stress you have to deal with!

Thank you SO much everyone!!!
I really did wake up today feeling a little better and stronger knowing that that email has gone out.
Denise (Espo), you are right in that my FSIL was wrong to take over everything. My MOH had promised me NO drama though, so after awhile, she just sat back and let her do what she wanted since she clearly wasn't listening to anyone else, anyway. My MOH and 1 other BM have major financial issues, so if they had been the ones doing the majority of the planning, in all honesty, my shower would prob not have been as nice as it was. I can see things from both sides but at this point I just want everything to end and everyone to behave themselves!

same thing with my shower 1 of my moh did everything while the other 1 didn't do much when i walked into my shower I was able to tell who did what and the same thing with bridesmaids alot of them didn't do anything one of my moh's actually sat around talking while the other girls were talking with one of the bridesmaid. I had a MOH who didn't really care about my wedding was very laid back with everything she wasn't aggressive or even tried I am so hurt and I am so sad that I chose her. It is so sad that people don't realize what they do to others will come back to them 10 times worse. I am so sorry that your shower wasn't what you wanted mine wasn't either I hope you are able to move on I am trying to let go. It got to the point that my mom had to call one of my moh's and one of my bridesmaids because they didn't want to do anything I am so disappointed in this girls I don't even want to see or have anything to do with them. But the best part out of it all I had the best wedding in the world it was everything I ever imagined and more and thats one thing no one can ever take from me.

Your mom sounds like an intelligent and level headed woman. Glad you are feeling better !! Your FSIl should have backed off to begin with but all that matters is your day !!

ok i just read all 3 pages of this thread, and it ***** that you have to go through this, but i just have to say you, your FH, your mom, and your FSIL are all wrong. If the budget was set at $200 for the bp to contribute, and your FSIL desides she wants to add extra's, then it is her responsibilty to pay the extra $$. She should never have come up to anyone the day of the shower and requested an additional $40, that is just crazy!!! she seems like she is a drama queen.
it seems like u have a lot of mending to do with your bff. i dont blame her for not wanting to come to the RD to put up with the drama that is sure to come, i mean it is but so much a person can take. You have known your bff longer than FSIL, and that would be the relationship i would try to repair as quickly as possible. While your bff should attend the RH dinner, if your FSIL starts anything your bff has every right to snap at her. Your FH needs to tell his sister to be on her best behavior at the RD.
