And yes, The Hizzy, I kept reading that forum and OMG. Made me glad I’m single. Although my last MIL was a dear. She still texts me sometimes.
But even if there were some small warning signs, how do you know where it’s going to go? No one would ever think that they are going to be broken up with 3 days after getting married! Holy cow. That is some bat shit crazy right there – what kind of person do you have to be to go along with something like that?
Did y’all read the DP (dear prudence) where the LW was sick every single time after eating at her MIL’s? She tried talking to her husband and he tried to make her seem crazy so one day she switched her plate with her husbands and he was the one to get sick. (but also, when you have people over for dinner who fixes all the plates in advance? I think that’s weird) There are some crazy MIL’s out there – most of the time they seem to be the moms of men. I’m pretty lucky with my MIL – other than she doesn’t have any friends so therefore uses her son (my husband) as a sounding board for everything.I’m really skeptical that you could be with a guy who would plot against you that maliciously and not realize something is incredibly wrong. But people do get really caught up in planning a wedding and kind of get tunnel vision.
@Kate no, I didn’t see him in March. Which has been hard, because it’s been almost 4 months since we’ve seen each other. But I’ll be there for 10 days in May, and he’s coming here for my birthday in the summer 🙂
Work kinda sucks, but I’m reminding myself to be grateful and just suck it up for now, because this place is definitely better than the last. I had to fight for my May vacation but I decided not to argue about how my paid time off is organized, since I’ll be leaving in the near future anyway.
And I’m slowly making progress with my own business goals.
It’s been a bit scary, all the changes that are coming up so quickly! But I’m also really excited!
I live in one state, all my family is 1000 miles away and FMH family is 1000 miles in a different direction. Last night a friend where we live messaged me to confirm our wedding date and asked if she could throw us a shower here locally. She had been talking it over with her mom, so she’s serious about throwing one.
It felt so out of the blue! I told her we would love it, and it was super sweet, and how much we appreciate it! She then proceeded to tell me how happy she is for us and how much our friendship means to her. That makes for a good Sunday.
All my peoples come in this weekend for dress shopping. It started with 5 of us ladies, and now we are going to have !!9!! people. 6 of us will go look at dresses and the other 3 will hang out together. It’s funny how it went from a fun weekend to this chaos. Wouldn’t want it any other way! First guest lands Wednesday morning! Wish….me…luck!
Hope everyone else had a good weekend!
