A honeymoon is a vacation spent by a newly married couple, allowing them to bond, relax and be away from responsibilities of their daily lives.
But one woman had been left upset after her fiancé decided to invite his mother to join them on their special days without even asking her.
The 22-year-old took to Reddit and explained that she and her fiancé are due to tie the knot in four months’ time.
“At first, a few months ago, he said he want to change our honeymoon to a family vacation so his parents and my mom can get along know each other more I agreed so we researched where to go and for how long,” she wrote.
But only weeks later, her future husband changed his mind and said that he just wanted the two of them and he didn’t want to bring his family along. She agreed and they started to make plans for their trip.
“Everything was going fine until a few days ago when I was shopping with my soon-to-be mother-in-law. On the ride home my boyfriend asked her if she want to join us on our honeymoon. I was shocked and mad but I stay silent.”
She continued: “After we dropped her off, I asked him how if my mom doesn’t want to go with us (my mom really said she doesn’t want), he said it’s ok and we can just go with his family. It really bothered me but because we had plans to meet his friend afterwards, I just kept it to myself to not ruin the mood.”
The bride-to-be returned home and texted her fiancé to express her dismay.
“Then he became mad as well because he thinks I’ve made a big deal out of something that isn’t so important. In the end, we both got mad and are still giving each other the silent treatment.”
People on Reddit were quick to share their thoughts, with one person writing: “This isn’t a minor flaw.point 200 | A minor flaw is ‘he goes to the toilet and leaves the door open’, not ‘he makes lots of decisions by himself or changes decisions we made together without asking me’.point 360 |
That is a big flaw, and would be a serious problem for most people.point 54 | ”point 57 | 1
Another wrote: “It’s just so annoying, and if I’m being honest, a bit of a red flag. He’s forcing you into situations that you don’t want to be in, taking advantage of the fact that you can’t make a scene in public.”
A third said: “I would be madder about him constantly changing the plan, and not consulting you.”
