Controlling Mother Tampers with Son’s Wedding, Son Refuses to Confront Mother, Causing Bride to Call Off Engagement

When you do eventually tie the knot, you not only marry the man but also his entire family. That being said, how would you respond if your future mother-in-law tried to interfere in your marriage by deciding whether or not you should adopt your spouse's last name?

The story below is an account of a frustrated bride. Recently, the original poster (OP) and her now-fiancé announced their engagement. Things were going great at first, but as soon as the future mother-in-law got involved, things quickly went south. Rather than cheering on the happy couple as they approach marriage, the partner's mother decided to create strife between them by tricking her son into believing that making compromises in a married relationship is the equivalent of losing one's manhood.

That being said, if you're curious about what happened after this, be sure to read the story below! When you're finished, don't forget to read about the woman who storms out of her vacation house when her husband lies to her about a scheduled family photo session!
