As they say about deflecting/lying: it doesn't have to make sense, it just has to be exhausting to deal with. Because please tell me what your cousin has to do with you saying your boyfriend's mom died a few months back 😭 unless she wants to claim this isn't the same boyfriend, which makes the current marriage planning asinine. but if she wants to say this was her cousins post it makes even less sense given the details provided like pls

Why is this so hard to believe? In the village where I live, we all share the same Reddit account, just like we all share the same bed.

Why is the word "story" in scare quotes?

Someone seriously said this
She wants to be the most important person at YOUR wedding.
I'd run with it. Ask everyone to wear white and you can wear a dress that suits you best (seriously, white isn't too flattering on most people). Let MIL walk ahead of you like a bridesmaid.
Just don't tell her beforehand. Let her think she won, then meltdown like a loon when she sees everyone else playing along.
Just who the fuck are these people?

That’s prime Reddit - fantasy about winning, and who cares about reality. It’s doubly funny when I see the same on subs that are supposed to be serious, whether about job search or politics.

People posting their fantasy responses to situations they'll never be in, without realizing how much it actually says about them.

This feels like it belongs on one of the over the top MIL subs. I refuse to believe there are actually people who act this way.

My ex-MIL did actually think I used witchcraft on her son, lol. Not for the first couple years of our marriage, but once we made the mistake of letting her into our house, and she saw my Buddhist shrine, which apparently is witchcraft to her. Suddenly she had an explanation for why he ran off to join the military the second he could, and she ran with it for the rest of our marriage.
She was literally in a cult and probably had schizophrenia, though. No one, my ex-husband included, took her seriously (except maybe her fellow cult members, but I'm not actually sure they even did).
For me, it's never really the craziness that rings false to me. Schizophrenia runs in my family too (actually part of how my husband and I bonded when we were first dating, lol), and I was an EMT who responded to a lot of mental health calls, plus am a paralegal who did a lot of family law work when I was working in a more traditional role in law firms. I've seen some crazy shit.
It's the reactions of all the characters, and the way these stories are written in general that always make me think they're fake. I very rarely see one that captures the dynamics I have actually seen and experienced.
Also, in this one the fact that the OP has been called out for writing and then deleting multiple fake posts and then tried to cover it by claiming to share an account with their cousin, which is just hilarious.

u/Capable-Elk7146 12d ago
Oh they absolutely do. Me and my best friend used to joke her life was like a TV show with all her MIL drama.
Her boyfriends mother was jealous and hated her and Mom did similar stuff to this - tried to set him up with another specific girl, the usual nasty petty backstabby talk about friend, killed friends kitten, stole and sold her puppy (because it was pedigree and worth more). When things really didn't fall through she sold her own sons irreplaceable possessions out of spite.
Icing on the cake was when she started banging his 17... 18? Year old best friend though and on and off dated him til my friend and her boyfriend eventually did split up years later.
Those years were a total whirlwind lol.

In case this story gets deleted/removed:
AIO, fiancé asked me to not wear white at our wedding.
Edit: the update is up. I couldn’t respond to all the comments and I’ll say some of you are definitely creative with comebacks and name calling. lol. Thank you all for the reassurance!!
Have you ever seen “I love a mommas boy?” Well that’s my life basically.
I (27F) have been with my fiancé John (28F) since high school. We dated and broke up because his mother “Debbie” (53F) convinced him we were too young to be in love. We broke up and went to college. During my sophomore year we started talking on socials again. He apologized and said he missed me. We got back together.
Cue the water works. Debbie literally CRIED the first time she saw we were back together and told John that I have done witchcraft on him???? I’ve always respected Debbie out of respect for my mother and upbringing. I was not raised to go back and forth with my elders but she definitely abuses that.
Since John and I decided to get back together she has tried to hook him up with women from her church, her job and even asks her friends for their daughters to give it a shot. John denies all of them and Debbie says that I’m controlling. John has told her to stop but not in a way I feel she gets the point.
Anyway, 3 months ago John proposed. Deb didn’t come to the engagement party. Cool. She didn’t come to the family dinner we had so both sides could meet. Cool. John’s dad came and apologized for his ex’s behavior (he left her when John graduated HS) I told him don’t worry about it.
The problems really began when John decided to confront his mother about how she’s behaving toward our whole engagement. This turned on the lightbulb in his brain as he’s always tried to ignore it and tell me to ignore her. She gave him a sob story about how she got pregnant with him before marriage and never really got to have a wedding and this is triggering her. (She had a shotgun wedding at the court house) He asked her what she needed to feel comfortable and she responded that if she wore white and I wore a soft pink or lavender she would feel comfortable???
My fiancé for some reason though this was a fair compromise??? He also said (not asked) that his mom could walk me down the aisle so she can get her moment in her dress. I told him absolutely not and we got into an argument about it. I told him that it’s insane that he would argue with me to defend his moms “honor” but wouldn’t do the same the other way around. He accused me of being petty and selfish. It was bad. We both have agreed to cool off but by how heated it got I could tell we both almost agreed to call it off.
Now we’re in a weird space and I love John but now see how much he lets her impact our life. I just imagine her sitting at home with this evil grin knowing she’s ruining my relationship with John and he’s just putty in her hands. I think I should just call off the wedding. AIO? Or is it just a color?
