Sort of Wedding Related... I'm devastated *Long Updated*

I just want to thank all of you ladies who took the time to offer your advice and support. I'd love to answer each of you indivdiually, and i probobly will after calming down a bit. BUT i figured before i can do that i should at least let you know what's going on right now.

We are not calling off the wedding.
This man is my world, I love him more than anything. I know he feels the same way about me.
His mother is crazy. I've known this for years. BUT this time it's gone too far.
Talking to her and leaving the lines of communication open is not really an option at this point. She is not that kind of person. She has stated that she wants nothing to do with us. If we want our stuff we have to call before going over b/c she doesnt want us in the house unannounced.

I have an anxiety disorder... so on top of the stress from the wedding, and my mother having cancer, i really don't know how much more i can take.

We will be moving foward with our plans. His family already sees him and his immediate family as the 'black sheep' so i'm not sure there is much to be salvaged.

I can handle them all hating me, i don't care what they think of me. I just can't stand to see FH in soo much pain over this.

Thanks again for your support through this. If it werent for this board, i honestly dont know what i'd do right now.




____________________________________

my FMIL is making our lives a living hell.
she has been back and fourth about not even coming to the wedding just so she can be the center of attention by NOT being there.
we just moved out on our own ... my fh is 23 years old. she stood on her front lawn the other day SCREAMING that we abandoned her and that we should F*** Off and rot in HelloOperator.

That was the last straw for me, I just stopped trying. I hadnt written her off or anything but i have anxiety and i just can't handle stress like that.

She sent fh an email calling him a sissy and other things that he wont repeat. i'm sure she spoke of me as well since he wont tell me anything about it. she said we have untill the 14th to get all of our stuff out of her house (which FH is a co owner of) or else she's tossing it all out the windows. and she will.

this is not the first situation where she's made us crazy. trust me when i say the woman is certifiable. i dont mean in that in an angry or mean way. i'm genuinly worried about her... but there's nothing i can do.

and now she's making it so that FH's whole family hates him so that no one will come to the wedding.

she refuses to come, says she wants NOTHING to do with it, doesnt want to hear about it, nothing.

My fiance is sooo upset, he's a momma's boy at heart. He won't let it show though.

I don't know what to do. This wedding has become such a hassle b/c of her. She's ruining everything. She never even congratulated us on the engagement or gave me a hug or anything ... and we were both living with her!

I'm starting to wonder if i should just call the whole thing off. I never meant to cause problems for my FH with his family.

Re: Sort of Wedding Related... I'm devastated (long sorry)

oh my god!!!!!!!!! I am so sorry to hear that!!!! I can not believe she is doing this to you guys! I know exactly how you feel i have a FMIL like yours! I would say to give it a few days and see if you guys could talk to her after she maybe cools down a little if that doesnt work you guys need to really talk about it. I don't think you should call off the wedding! My FHs brother married a woman that his mom really doesnt like and she just leaves it be now. ( they also live in AZ so its a little easier. I hope this blows over and works out. feel better! ill check back later and see if anything has changed. Maybe ill have better advice when i am more awake lol!! try to have a good day and feel better!

I am sorry that you have to be put in this situation. I think the best thing to do is get your stuff, be polite and positive. Keep the lines of communication open. You dont want the FH's family to see YOU as the problem.
Good luck

Re: Sort of Wedding Related... I'm devastated (long sorry)

I totally know how you feel because my fmil is just as crazy. The only thing you can really do is keep lines of communication open and support your fh. Your fmil may try to make all of his family hate you but if you guys keep calling them and forge a relationship with them his family will just probably realize that his mom is overreacting. Just try to watch out that you dont act as immature as she does because thats how she will ultimately turn your fh's family against you and him. Im sorry you are going through this.. but if you and fh truly love each other dont think twice about calling your wedding off. If you need to talk feel free to fm.

That is horrible! I am soo sorry for you.. Maybe giver her time to adjust to FH leaving. Maybe thats her crazy way of letting our her emotions of her being upset that FH moved out.

wow, i'm so sorry you have to deal with this. I dont know about your FMIL or if she has the tendency to blow up like this and then a couple days later act like nothing ever happened despite the pain she caused you and FH(i have family that does this..) but either way, i know her behaviors will be in your marriage for the long haul, if its not this, it will be something else...

dont cancel the wedding if you love FH and he is trying to deal with the situation also. maybe she is acting out this time because she feels she is losing control of the situation. i would keep contact open but not instigate the situation. show that you respect her and the family, but her outbursts wont have FH running home to momma, so to speak. this could be unrelated, but is she going through her changes? i dont know what else to say, i have had to deal with crazy family all my life, so i can sympathize with you!

I honestly have to say that this woman has an issue letting go of her son and she is making it worse by turning people against you. Your fh needs to read this if he can handle sugestions. YOU NEED TO LET YOUR MOM GO!!!!! Just sit her down and explain what she is doing to you is pushing you away. Not you marrying (you) is tearing them apart. There is a person here at work that never left his mother because the mother would do this HUGE freak out and scare everyone away. Now this man is INSANE!!!! I mean complete freak to everyone.

I wouldn't cancel the wedding if you still love fh but if he chooses not to handle this situation and put his foot down maybe you have to.. why because it will only get worse as you are married and then have children.

Re: Sort of Wedding Related... I'm devastated (long sorry)

my FMIL went so far as to stop taking her medication right before FH brothers wedding cause she knew shw would get sick! she thought they would call off the wedding!!! that didnt happen, she got over it and so did they! i am sure it will get better. it might not be perfect but i am sure it will be better

Wow, I am sorry she is putting you all through this.

IMO, he should have a talk with her and explain that he is happy getting married and ask her to respect that he is moving on. I think it's hard for some Moms to deal with their son's leaving, but they need to realize they will be better off letting their children be happy. Trying to keep him from growing up and moving on will only make the two of them grow apart.

I wouldn't cancel the wedding over FMIL. It is her issue to deal with. If everyone who had in-law issues decided not to get married..well..... And, you shouldn't feel like it's your fault of anything. Hopefully in time she will come to her sences. Good Luck and hang in there. It will make your relationship w/ FH stronger if you work on it.

I'm so sorry that you and your FH have to go through this. Give it a couple of days, maybe she'll cool down a little and then your FH can go and talk to her. I would also do what she wants about your stuff - make sure it's all out of there by the 14th. Be nice and don't show that you're upset when you go to get your stuff.

I hope everything works out

Re: Sort of Wedding Related... I'm devastated (long sorry)

maybe fh can speak to his mom alone and smooth things over.

I'm sorry you are going through this

Re: Sort of Wedding Related... I'm devastated (long sorry)

Sorry you're going through this! Honestly, this is you and FH's day. This should exciting and you should be happy. I am not you and don't really know the situation but I do know that if you are going to be miserable the days leading up to your wedding as well as your wedding day...I think I might elope. Nothing and noone should stand in the way of making this the happiest day of your life. Good luck !
