Meddling Future Mothers-in-law
Quote From: emquiltinI dont know if any one can beat the step mother in law I have. she lied to the entire family instigates fights and tape records conversations  Im getting married to a wonderful guy in a few months but what is supposed to be an exiciting time with all the planning and preparation, is spoiled by my MIL and SIL. They have both spent years voicing their opinions and saying exactly what they think whether the other person likes it or not, well I had gotten to the point where enough was enough and I decided to voice my opinion and how they were making me feel. Needless to say the MIL and SIL are now playing the victim and creating merry hell and how they are not coming to the wedding etc etc. My partner has been extremely supportive towards me but I hate seeing him upset by it all but I refuse to apologise because I didnt say anything that was not true. I did however stress the point that there are only two people in a marriage not three and that unless we want advise dont give it as more often than not it becomes destructive and not constructive, I did finish off by saying I have to set boundaries for both sets of families and hope we can move forward from here, but my MIL said it felt like someone had stepped on her neck, is it more like I stepped on her toes??, has she met someone that will not take their bullying and put up with their interference maybe? what do you think I would be interested in your comments
