It can be really upsetting and uncomfortable when your parent doesn’t like the person you want to spend your life with.
One man recently had to uninvite his mom from his upcoming wedding on the night of his engagement dinner after his mom threw her drink at his fiancée.
He has been engaged to his fiancée, Becky, for two years and will finally marry her this year.
Unfortunately, when he and Becky first got engaged, his mom wasn’t very supportive as she was going through an awful divorce.
His mom’s divorce was extremely messy, involving cheating and gaslighting, and she simply didn’t have the mental wherewithal to show enthusiasm towards him and Becky.
While his mom‘s lack of support was disappointing, he knew she was struggling, so he tried letting it go.
However, his mom’s lack of enthusiasm quickly turned into a lot of judgmental comments.
“There was a little passive aggression, such as murdering under her breath that it shouldn’t take two years to plan a wedding,” he recalled. “[She’d ask], ‘Who needs an engagement party and an engagement dinner?’ She was just being so negative.”
Things came to a head during his and Becky’s engagement dinner when his mom acted strange the whole night. His mom was pale in the face and hardly spoke to anyone. She also barely touched her food, and he knew he needed to talk to her because of her behavior.
