Mother-in-law snoops in daughter-in-law's suitcase, criticizes her honeymoon swimsuit choice: 'My husband said I shouldn't have let her near the suitcase at all'

Nobody likes being judged for their choices. We all go around every day, trying to do the best for ourselves and our families. Decision-making can be a really tough trip for some of us wafflers. If you're anything like me, you'll mull over the simplest decisions for days and days, hoping that you make the right one. You hedge back and forth on simple choices, hoping to avoid judgment, disappointment, or conflict. So with that said, it hurts when you do receive judgment. Usually, it's feedback that you didn't ask for.

You know the old saying, "if you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all," but not everybody has internalized that axiom. Some people just can't keep their judgments to themselves, no matter how hard they try. Maybe they're not trying, and maybe that's the point. But it's hard to let criticism roll off your back, especially if it's coming from somebody you love and trust. Or if it's coming from a new family member that you're trying to impress.

That's what happened to one bride whose mother-in-law had a lot to say about her clothing choices for her upcoming honeymoon. But when she tried to defend herself in front of her, she ended up making everybody upset. But she still wasn't sure if it was her fault, so she turned to the internet to see what others had to say.

Was I wrong for calling my MIL ill- mannered for going through my suitcase and criticizing my bikini?
