I just got accepted into a paramedic science program across the country. Fiancée was at her mum’s yesterday and told her, officially, that I accepted the university offer and we’re moving soon.
FMIL looks at her and says, “so, when are you breaking up with her?”
Fiancée sarcastically replied something along the lines of, “thanks for the ‘congratulations on your future, I’m so happy for you’.”
FMIL rolls her eyes and goes “you mean CatOverlordsWelcome’s future.”
Boi when I tell you I saw red when my fiancée told me last night… This coming from the alcoholic, barely-present, untreated BPD waif/queen?
We accidentally slipped up telling her this a few weeks ago, as a sort of nebulous “this may happen” concept – I hadn’t realised my fiancée didn’t say a word to her, so I said “yeah, so when we move to [place]…”. FMIL flipped. Immediately grabbed fiancée, crushed her into a hug and started saying shit like, “my baby, my baby, I won’t allow it, you’re not choosing your fiancee over me, I won’t allow you to go, I won’t, my baby won’t leave me.”
We’re in our mid-20s, and my fiancée is older than I am! Sorry for how incoherent this post is, I’m just so mad and upset that she put my fiancée through that. She shuts down and withdraws when her mother acts like this and it kills me to watch her be so shaken by someone who’s supposed to love and support and encourage her.
Smh. Just… Smh.
