When FI and I first got engaged his uncle's wife gave us a huge setting of burgundy & 10ct. gold espresso cups/saucers, etc. from Italy that someone had given them when her & her husband got married. I was so excited - one of our first gifts and this one was handed down - so, it made it even more special. Later that night, I told my fi to hold onto it - being that he has more room to store things than I do, etc. Anyway, last weekend when I was at my fi's house (he lives w/his mother) I was washing the dishes and looked up (there are see-thru glass cabinets) and I saw the espresso glasses displayed. Am I wrong for being p*ssed? For those of you who've read my posts about fmil - know what a w*tch she can be. Anyhoo, I want to say something about it - but, I don't know if I should.

Wishcandy, You should ask to have it now. Put it anywhere in your house/apt. just as long as it is not in his mom's house! At this point, I would definitely want to have it rather than asking them to store it for you, especially since it's on display. How long until you move in with FI? I wouldn't mind staring at the big box for a couple of months knowing that no one is using the precious gift.

Re: Vent - need advice
Girls, thank you Sooooooo much for all your great ideas on how to handle this situation. Believe me, it is greatly appreciated. Just to give you an update. I will be saying something to my fi (to see if he even noticed) and then figure out if he will say something to his mother or if we confront her together (maybe not confront - but, you get the idea)... the only bad thing is that I have to wait till the beginning of next week because my fi is going away for the weekend and is leaving right from work. But I'll keep you updated on how we did it and what happened.
Thanks Again!

Ask it back! Tell him that you want it, and see if he knows that she took it. And either or, TAKE IT BACK! And don't leave anything else there!

IF it turns out that those glasses are the ones his aunt gave you your FMIL really has some nerve. I can't imagine what his aunt would think if she saw them on display!!
