A woman consulted an online forum if she was being unreasonable this week over an argument regarding her wedding arrangements. The woman shared that because she lived in France and her fiancé lived in the US, they decided to hold the wedding in France to allow most of their mutual friends could attend.
Mother-In-Law Protests Police at Wedding
While this seemed reasonable to most people, their plans hit a snag when the original poster’s (OP) future mother-in-law protested that she did not want to be at a wedding around so many police officers.
Fiance’s Job Undisclosed
It appears that the fact that her son’s fiancee was a police officer was held from her until details of the wedding emerged.
Family Drama Arises
The OP tried to reassure her fiancé’s mom that police officers were ok and there would be no issues on the day. Still, there was no reasoning with the future MIL, and an argument ensued.
Family Do Not Like Police
It quickly became apparent that the OP was marrying into a family who evidently disliked the police.
MIL Uninvited
Still, as she wanted her wedding to go smoothly, this is something she felt could be put aside. The future MIL, however, became mad, which led to the OP uninviting her from the wedding and hanging up the phone.
MIL’s Calls Refused
The OP was clear that if her future MIL was making the whole wedding about herself, then she should not attend. She said she had refused several calls from her fiancé’s mom and had not told her fiancé yet as he was on a work trip.
The Forum Responds
When pondering whether she was wrong, people quickly reassured her that she was not, with one person saying, “The mother sounds rude and obnoxious.” Another stated, “Sometimes children are unwilling to confront difficult parents over boundaries. If it affects more than just the child, it’s fair game once it’s clear the child’s unwilling to do anything.”
Why Does She Not Know?
This is one feeling we had when reading as we wondered why the OP’s job was not known to his mom and why he wasn’t having the conversation with the MIL.
Different Opinions
However, some people thought the OP was wrong, saying, “She’s the AH for her reaction and thinking she can dictate who you invite to your wedding, along with where you get married.” Others commented on her control of the whole situation, saying, “The irony of a cop making a unilateral decision without caring what their supposed partner thinks.”
How Will This Affect Future Relationships?
On the other hand, others felt empathy for the mom, saying, “YTA uninviting her is the start of the relationship you will have with your in-laws. It’s also not fair to your future husband to start your life together by instigating a conflict with his mom.”
Fiancé Not Bothered Over Mother’s Absence
Readers, including us, were desperate to know what her fiancé thought of the situation. Hence, the OP gave an update to say her fiancé was not bothered as he thought his mum would probably cause a lot of hassle anyway. Something told us this would be the case as if she was causing a fuss about her son’s wedding plans; what else would she get mad over?
Why Doesn’t She Like The Police?
However, some people pointed out that she may have had her reasons for being against the police. One person commented, “Her reaction is probably motivated based on how police in the US is a corrupt institution.”
Discussion Needed
While fans were not agreed with the decision of who was wrong, it goes without saying that there is a lot of talking to be done within the family, as clearly, they have not been communicating with one other very well.
