Woman is excitedly engaged until her fiance's mother becomes over-involved in the wedding planning process, ends marriage over it: '[She] even suggested I wear her wedding dress'

Meeting your partner's parents is always a huge milestone in a relationship. They can try all they might to help you prepare and to make you feel comfortable, but you'll never know how you feel until you're in the lion's den. The way someone's family interacts with you can be a relationship deal breaker, and if you date men, you run the risk of the ever-feared, always horrible Boy Mom. Boy moms are often portrayed in media as overly doting and almost inappropriately affectionate with their sons. Remember Charlotte's constant battle with Trey's mother in SATC? Yeesh. Horrifying. 

With a Boy Mom, it's hard to discern who's more at fault: the Mom for refusing to let her son grow up or the boy for reverting back to being a man-child around his mother. It's sort of a Catch-22 situation, and it takes both a special mother and son to complete the cycle. One woman experienced a horrible case of Boy Mom and went to Reddit for advice. This Boy Mom, in particular, started low and slow with her horrors but gradually grew to be a complete menace as time went on. Would this be grounds enough for you to end your marriage? Read on, read on.
