'My mom loved her as a daughter': Son bans grieving mother from wedding to new bride after she asks him to invite his late wife's parents

This guy is something else. It's clear that this mother has been having trouble moving on from the death of her beloved daughter-in-law, the two of them had a close connection, and she had truly "loved her as her own daughter." It's completely understandable to hang on to the memory of loved ones who have been lost -not that her son seems to be. The cold and callous way in which he refers to his deceased bride is startling and the first thing that stood out to me in this post. 

Sure, maybe the mother has overreached and overstepped with the way that she keeps commenting on her son's new relationship and comparing it to her dead daughter-in-law. But am I really the only one who thinks that the son needs to own a big part of her continued grieving? It doesn't sound like he has handled the situation in a way that has really allowed his mother to move past it and it really doesn't sound like he processed the situation well himself. 

The fact that he completely cut his wife's parents out of his life after her passing really is raising some red flags too. Either his previous marriage was strained, or this guy is a total a**hole. His responses in the comments make me pretty certain that it's the latter. I can't imagine cutting my partner's parents out of my life if something were to happen to her.

How did his previous wife die? This is taking it too far - I know. But I'm now wondering if her death was under suspicious circumstances and if his late wife's life insurance is funding this massive wedding he's planning for his new and "better" bride. 

Really hard to believe that Reddit voted "NTA" on this one. What a colossal a-hole.
