Livid! To think she did this on purpose??

Ahh I'm so annoyed! Name changed for this. So "future" mil was showing me some photos of her holiday on her phone and she carried on swiping past the holiday ones until she got to a diamond ring, then started shouting oh no I've ruined the surprise, don't tell him you have seen it, he will be so upset etc. whilst keeping the photo on!!!! I so think she has done this on purpose, we have had a rocky relationship in the past but I thought we had got over that but honestly it was so over dramatic the way she was talking and if she had just carried on swiping I wouldn't have thought anything of it!! I'm so upset that I know and that she has ruined the surprise, as I really wouldn't have expected it. Also feel sad for dp and hope I can act surprised when it happens.

I agree with everyone else about not getting engaged and using the money to go away and elope just you and the DC - on holiday ideally!!!

Otherwise she'll only try to take over the wedding and make it all about her

What a horrible thing she has done to you and your dp

You have to elope, OP.
If MIL has been like this about the engagement you can only imagine what shed be like with wedding planning and on the actual day. Mumsnet has plenty of MIL-zilla wedding threads.
