Need to vent MOH/Aunt - long

Went to family function today and for the 3rd time my cousin/MOH said she was going to come and spend time with me. Well, she stood me up again today - I was really looking forward to seeing her. She told me Friday she'd see me Sunday and today she is a no show. Lately this is becoming an ongoing theme with her ever since her jerk boyfriend moved home from Florida (don't even get me started on him...lets just say he is WIERD and showed up at a family wedding drunk out of his mind....enough said).

Then, I was sitting around talking to my great aunts and my cousins mom comes over and interupts me updating the aunts on the wedding plans and announces that my cousin and her man have been talking marriage. First off they have been 'dating' almost 2 years but he's been in Florida for the 2 years and just moved home like 3 months ago. (Not to mention my cousin was dating other guys and didn't tell him). Ok, fine - do what you want but why is it that everything with her and my aunt has to turn into a competition? If I talked about my plans or the house we just bought she'd interupt me or walk away.

Then I asked where my cousin was and how she told me she was coming and she was like oh, her boyfriend took her to Montauk.

I'm sorry if I sound all over the place but I'm so aggravated - she is the only reason I went today. Not to mention that everything I do with the wedding or the house turns into a competition with her mother. Its been going on my whole life but today for some reason put me over the edge - guess I'm just tired of it.....we're adults now.

Am I wrong in my feelings - if I'm being stupid please tell me.

Thanks for listening ladies

You aren't wrong, but there are always people like that. As much as you try to keep them away, they get worse as they get older. Don't worry about it too much, I truly believe it is a round world and everyone gets theirs in the end.

Unfortunately there are always jealous people in this world, there isn't much you can do about it. One of my BM is similar to your MOH in competition, but you know what? I don't care. Announce your engagement at my shower, I don't care. These things don't bother me.
FSIL is the same way. Always trying to one up us. But it's a game only they play, bc FH and I are not in competition with anyone. So they are the ones who looks like fools, no one else.

she should get together with mikes aunt and cousin who are doing the same thing.. except we dont get along well with them and dont have them in the BP

there always seems to be at least one person who has to be jealous or competitive

The less you tell this woman, the better off you will be - - she'll have nothing to compete with. As for your MOH, I would call her and make sure she can handle the responsibility of MOH. If her mom's that way, she might be too, and can ditch you last minute just to cause you grief. Have a back-up plan, just for your own peace of mind. Good luck.
