A woman revealed how she resorted to banning her own mother from her wedding after she gave a cruel gift to her fiancé.
As the anonymous bride-to-be in question explained in her Reddit post, her partner has been left unable to walk after an accident in which his mother had died.
Ever since she and the young man got together, the woman’s mom allegedly kept on joking about her partner’s disability and even went as far as teasing him that he was responsible for his mother’s death.
One day, however, the bride’s mother clearly crossed the line when she gave her daughter’s fiancé a birthday gift that viewers called “beyond cruel.”
“She came and was all loving and cheerful, she apologized for the past ‘misunderstandings’ and my fiancé was confused by her change of heart,” the bride recalled in her post.
“We had a great time until after dinner. She gave him a box saying this was her gift for his birthday, He opened it and what we saw was a pair of Nike running shoes.
“He looked at her and she started laughing then said something about being optimistic and hoping he’d use them one day.”
She added: “I lost it and we both started yelling at each other with her saying it was just a joke. I said this was utter humiliation cause she was basically rubbing it in his face that he is how he is.
“She kept arguing saying she didn’t mean for this to play out like that, and that he was being too sensitive and could use more therapy cause his reaction should’ve been to laugh.
“I said she’s no longer welcome to the wedding. She acted shocked saying I was really taking this too seriously, but I insisted that she send back the invite. My dad joined us and begged that I take time to calm down and not make a decision I might regret later.
She got into the car and was crying, dad said we’d talk later but I said nothing to talk about after she insulted my partner in front of my friends. Dad then got into the car and left. The birthday party got awkward which led to guests leaving early.
”
Following the birthday party, the woman’s side of the family kept on telling her to forgive her mother and resend the wedding invite.
The woman has since spoken out on Reddit and asked viewers for advice on dealing with this matter.
Soon enough, thousands of viewers sided with the bride-to-be and urged her not to resend the wedding invitation to her cruel mother.
“That’s legit one of the most vile things I’ve seen on here, and that’s saying something. Your mum is a bully, plain and simple. I don’t see any ‘jokes’ here, only cruelty towards someone she looks down on,” someone wrote.
“Your Mom has had a lot of opportunities to behave and improve her choices and she hasn’t. She isn’t sorry and I hate to think of her behavior on the day. No attitude change would be no invite and continued clear boundaries,” another added.
The third wrote: “Do not re-invite her to your wedding. To be honest, after the way she has behaved on those 2 occasions I’d be considering cutting her out of my life altogether. What she has done on both occasions is beyond cruel. No one needs a person like this in their life.”
