Woman Explodes At Soon-To-Be MIL For Trying To Meddle In Her Sex Life, Her Fiancé Is Threatening To End Their Engagement
One of the many blessings that come with getting married is the family that you get from it.
Unfortunately, this isn’t always a blessing, as a person’s partner and family may not get along well. It’s a story that’s as old as time.
There are several reasons why this happens. They include a lack of respect for privacy/boundaries from one person, different beliefs and value systems, or a parent simply feeling that their child’s choice of partner is unsuitable.
Whatever the reason, it’s always an ugly situation when a partner and their spouse’s family members don’t get along.
We found a Redditor who knows about this all too well. She shared on the AITA subreddit that her soon-to-be Mother-in-law had always pushed for her and her fiancé to have kids early, and she didn’t like this.
When she told her fiancé she was uncomfortable with his mother’s pushes, he dismissed her concerns. One day, he told her his mother requested that she stop taking birth control pills, and OP ignored it.
Everything was going well until they visited OP’s mother, and she brought it up again. This time, she mentioned OP’s family health history as her primary concern, and OP didn’t take it too well.
It led to an explosive outburst that left her fiancé considering breaking off their engagement. Check out the full story below!
Let's dig into the details...

"You don't have to break up with him right now if you need more time, but I would definitely stop the engagement and let him know why."

The commenters believe OP is NTA. However, they gladly ascribed that title to her fiancé and her soon-to-be MIL, whom they believe acted inappropriately toward OP.
Some even advised OP to call off the wedding, as it would be a mistake to marry someone whose mother had such a hold on him.
Do you think OP’s reaction toward her fiancé's mother was unnecessary? Let us know in the comments below!
