DP and I have been together 10 years and have two young DC. I have recently been arranging our wedding for mid September. I don't want lots of fuss, I'd just would like to be married - we have been engaged for over 6 years!
DP finally summoned the courage to tell his mum last weekend and ever since she has been on at him. Her first reaction was 'I don't know why you're doing it, so many marriages end in divorce these days'. She doesn't like the idea of a register office, she'd dictating that we must invite a load of her rellies we don't even know etc. But from what I gather it is getting more sinister now. She is reminding him that she doesn't like how I speak to him and that I nag him. Is he sure? etc...
OK, so maybe I do boss him about a bit, but we're not in the first flush of romance anymore! I love him, we're happy together, we'd like to be married. But now it is open season to have a pop at our relationship. Even his brother is joking that DP is 'under the thumb'. Not that their relationships are exactly model perfect.
It is really upsetting me. MIL2B hasn't actually spoken to me about it at all. I have always done my best to be lovely to her and whilst it's predictable, I feel really fed up.
Sorry to rant. Need some sympathy!
