ImI no doubt posting in the wrong place but am not sure where there right place to post is. My fiance and I have been dating for 5 years and got engaged two months ago. My fiance's older brother started seeing a girl (his friends wife's sister who was engaged to someone else at the time) about 3.5 years ago.they got engaged about a year and a half ago and are due to get married next year. While I'm thrilled that they are both so happy together, I am finding her relationship with our mother in law to be challenging.
While our mother in law has knlen me longer and better (I used to spend every weekend in her house) she seems to have taken a preference to my sister in law to be. Every time my MIL to be visits, she tells me how great my sister in law is, or how great their wedding is going to be (my MIL is paying for their wedding).
My parents are struggling to scrape together the money for my wedding to my fiance. His mother is expecting to invite at least 80 people alone which my parents would not be able to afford. She has not offered to contribute to our wedding in any way and has criticised any venue we have invited her to.
In addition to this my sister in law to be plans on being pregnant within two months of her wedding - which would mean she was due her baby the month my fiance and I planned to wed. I did not know this til I asked her to be bridesmaid and she told me the wedding should be a different date because 'the little one's would be due
While I would be more than delighted for her to have a baby, I feel it a little unfair of her to expect us to change our wedding date on the presumption that she will be pregnant then.
Between this and my mother in law to be, I don't see the point of the big wedding I had always dreamed of - I feel it's more trouble than it's worth.
I'm just wondering if anyone else has ever felt like this.
