Bride-to-be reconsiders wedding as mother-in-law’s spiteful criticism goes unchecked by mommy’s boy fiancé

Something about becoming a mother-in-law seems to activate a hidden switch. It's almost like there's a secret initiation ritual no one talks about where they get bonked on the head with a "Declare Authority" stick. Suddenly, some mothers go from mildly opinionated to full-blown dictators, marching into their child's relationships like generals commanding a battle.

Pair that with an eternal man-child, a grown adult who still hasn't quite managed the delicate art of cutting the umbilical cord, and you've got a recipe for disaster. In the case of today's story, the type of "man" who hears their mother call their partner a gold digger or worse, and instead of defending their significant other, they nervously laugh like a kid caught eating cookies before dinner. No one's asking for him to declare war, just a polite, "Hey Mom, maybe don't call my fiancée names," but sadly, even that small act of bravery seems out of reach.

When the bride finally asks her partner to step up, she’s accused of forcing him to choose. Yes, because asking for basic respect is basically the same as demanding a family civil war.

So, even though I know adulting is hard but here’s the thing. Grown adults don’t need to “choose” between their partner and their parents. They just need to act like adults, set boundaries, and, for heaven’s sake, pick up the metaphorical scissors and finally cut that cord.
