Woman refuses her fiancé’s stepmother’s attempts to use her to gain more family ties and bypass her stepson’s rejection: ‘She believes she's my future mother-in-law and we should be allies’

Some people don't understand that relationships, especially in families, grow naturally, they aren't built by forcing your way in like an obsessive party crasher. 

But occasionally, a not-so-loved-one somehow gets the idea that persistence equals privilege, and instead of respecting the dynamics already in place, start pushing for a starring role. The unfortunate result is tension, drama, and the constant expectation that someone else will play mediator and smooth things out. 

Entitlement might be annoying but refusal to acknowledge that real relationships can't strong-armed into existence is more on the infuriating side of things.

One woman found herself in this exact situation when her fiancé's stepmother decided she was the perfect recruit for her ongoing campaign to reshape the family. The stepmother, who spent years pushing to be a bigger part of her stepson's life despite his clear disinterest, shifted focus to the woman once the couple got engaged.
