You can tell pretty early on in dating if your partner’s parents are going to make difficult in-laws.

What would you do if your MIL’s off-putting behavior started to get in the way of your wedding? One woman recently told Reddit all about her MIL and her insane behavior. Here are the details.

MIL keeps making threats about wearing white to our wedding

My fiancé and I recently got engaged, and, on first notice, everyone was really happy and excited for us.

But then, my MIL started “jokingly” saying that I should watch out because she might just show up to the wedding wearing a white dress.

Surely that joke didn’t land.

These were her literal words, in the MIDDLE of our engagement dinner.

My fiancé tried to divert the topic of the conversation, kept telling her that everyone knew she wouldn’t dare (as a warning).

This seems like it requires more than passive aggression to squash.

But it’s been a week, and she’s been sending me screenshots of white dresses she’s found around that she “might want to wear to the big day!”

What should I do?

Well she’s certainly in a pickle.

I’m starting to get really angry, but I don’t want to start an argument with her either.

This woman is very dramatic, and I just know it will influence her mood throughout the whole wedding planning.

Sounds like there are already a lot of red flags in this family. Let’s see what the good folks of Reddit had to say about this one.

One person kicked off the comments with thoughtful advice.

Another made a solid observation.

A few reiterated that it wasn’t her problem.

Though practical advice was offered.

But one person issued a word of warning.

This aisle isn’t big enough for the three of them.
