    So a few weeks ago, I was really upset by h2b as I am at the moment off sick for stress, conditions at work really hard, and my dad announced he wouldn't come to wedding, was waiting for grievance meeting for work to be set up, and h2b comes back home from work, starts moaning, I ask him for help and he just starts kicking off, so me very upset put a post on facebook about him being totally unfair and unsupportive, and then his cousin starts commenting and his sister as well, she says I should keep these things private. Fair enough I remove the post, and all is good now until today, all happy to maybe have found the venue I really want. MIL2B texts H2B saying she needs to talk to him. after about 20/30 min chat (in another room) he comes back to me and says we need to talk (you know the "I need to talk to you") basically she is wondering if he's making the right decision in marrying as apparently I keep constantly on facebook and in real slagging him off, and his uncle (father of cousin who talks to me on facebook) gave her a message for Gary that he will not in any way attend our wedding as he thinks Gary is making a big mistake in marrying me, and another uncle said something similar. So here I am wondering if we cancel everything because if those two uncles won't come one of them is his godfather, then it lowers our guest list of at least 15 people if not more basically just his dad side will come, and his mum. and also I don't know if I can be married to someone whose family does not approve of me, and will not be invited to family Dos. I am devastated they ruined one of the happiest day of my life, as the venue I just visited really felt like the one, I had a vision of me and our family there for our wedding.

    Sounds like you're having a really bad time. I think his family have definitely overreacted to the facebook comment though - and by the sounds of it, it's like chinese whispers probably from his sister and cousin. I would talk to your h2b - as if he has any sense he will be on your side. It's not up to his family who he marries - and even if they do have a sulk over it, if they decide not to come to the wedding then it's their loss and not yours.

    Don't let them get to you (easier said than done I know) - but by the sounds of it you don't need the added stress at the moment especially if you're off work due to stress as well, and I'm sure your h2b will understand this. I can sympathise with you as I'm off work for the same reason at the moment (work related stress), and will be meeting with my union to start a grievance as well as I'm being bullied.

    At the end of the day hun, its yours and your H2Bs decision to be together - not his families.. I would definitely have a heart to heart with your h2b and clear the air over a few things, and maybe limit what you put on facebook from now on! People read things very wrong sometimes and it causes a lot of unnecessary heartache!

    Keep your chin up hun... things will get better! xxx

    aww hun firstly a big hug. What did your H2B say to all of this? I agree in that I think they are over reacting tbh. I cant think of anyone who hasnt had a good old rant on fb abiut their partner, but it doesnt meant hat they arent right for the other person! Have a good chat with you h2b this isnt what you need right now. keep us updated hun, i really hope things start to get bette for you x

    oh babe! they do know youre off work suffering from stress??? I think you need to talk to h2b and his mum make sure its what u and h2b want and then tell your mum!!! EVERYONE has to let off a little steam sometimes, and we all tend to do this via FB so I wouldnt worry bout what they say!

    things written in text (on the computer) can't be given emotion and are often taken in the wrong way!!!

    Thanks girls, I have spent over 2 hours last night talking to h2b who really really loves me no matter what they say he still wants to get married, he will call both uncles tonight to clear things out, and I will have a chat with his mum, his sister called us last night after her mum told her what she told h2b she was absolutely outraged, and totally support us. I will need a chat with his cousin, as I think she has played a role in relating some things said on facebook. I am stopping posting on facebook when I am upset, as now you can't be too careful it is all so childish and being due back to work tomorrow, I know I can't I just called to book appointment with gp as I know it will make me worse to go back to work without sorting things out with MIL2B

    I would have a good chat with your H2B and see how he feels about you writing stuff on facebook. I know I write thinks that annoy me but I have a dairy so no one eles can see it. I do think sometime people just get carried away in the moment. But its not for his family to decide what your H2B should do it between the two of you.

    ignore the family....

    my mum married my dad and my step nan hated my mum and me... thought we were too common for my dad etc etc well every year my nan would by my mum really rubbish presents at bday or xmas or even forgot... my mum stop trying to get her to like her ... there were always comments passed to my mum from my nan snidey ones etc etc

    well my mum and dad celebrate there 25th wedding anniversary this year!!

    the old witch is dead too she dies 3 years ago and my mum says she misses her snidey remarks as she found them funny ..... because at the end of the day my mum and dad love each other and always will no matter what family said they are stronger now than they ever have been and never argue

    show just goes to show you MIL2B's and the OH family arent right .... they just think they know best when in truth they very rarely do know best :o)

    well he didn't tell her to shut up, because she was drunk and he will have a chat with her to tell her he knows I'm the one and we truly love each other and we're getting married anyways, but I think I need a 1-2-1 with MIL2B as soon as possible in person preferably, I am actually thinking of inviting them other for dinner on a Sunday and in that case I'll have a chat. It's true we've had our ups and downs, but its not a reason to think I'm trash and not good enough for him. Now H2B and I agreed I will not post anything on facebook when I'm upset or I'll do it in French slang so they would not understand and show them all that we love each other by still getting married on same date. and we will send invites to everybody as planned, too bad if they don't come we know we'll have the people who truly matter and who love us

    Facebook is for talking about your life and if something bugs you then you should be able to vent! It's silly that something so small has been blown out of proportion like that, you shouldn't have to give up your ability to vent.. But you can always vent on hear, we have open ears! = )

    I really hope your mil2b was just having an off day and took it out on you, after all nobody truly knows what goes on in a relationship except the people in it. Some relationships look perfect from the outside but are awful for the people in them, others are the opposite and most have those moments when you want to rant and rave about the other person but at the end of the day you know that you couldn't live without them! The reason we get so angry and rant about our h2bs is because we love them so much that we do get a bit over the top and we know that no matter how crazy mad we get they'll always be there to calm us down! Don't worry about your in laws, you know you're perfect together and in time they'll see that too, I just hope they realise in time for your wedding or they'll regret missing it = ) xxx

    I just had an update from h2b, basically last night when MIL2B had finished talking she said no matter what he decides SHE will come to the wedding, but he should think it over wether or not he wants to marry me, he realised how drunk she was so told her he needed to talk to me about all she said and then decides, but he already knew he still loves me and wants to marry me. Today she text him to find out if the wedding was still on or not (b**** hoping it could be off I'm sure) and here's the text he sent her (and then sent to me):
    "I know you love me mum. I love Lalia so much. Seems my family think I'm just plodding along. Lalia has been through a lot in her life and we have been through so much together. If uncle N will not come then this is his choice and puts me in a very difficult situation with his birthday and K...'s wedding. We have been doing so much wmpj (?) for our wedding and now we don't feel like it's worth it. We are getting married next year. She is the person I want to be with and despite what everybody seems to think I have never been happier! x"

    I have another problem now, her daughter H2B half sister was supposed to be my flower girl. Should I stick on with that, I am afraid that because they don't live close, MIL2B will not help about that, like I'd need the girl to come round to where I live for dress picking (just in places like deb en hams, etc.)

    maybe tell them all how you feel and put the date back. maybe then they will realise how upset you are and things can carry on as normal! families will always side with their own, so dont bother fighting a losing battle! just tell them how you feel and see whats said. people say things that they dont mean when they are upset about something, so see whats said once you asll have a talk and go from there x

    H2B don't want to change the date, and I don't either, can't postpone much anyway and if they are not happy now they won't be happy in a couple of years, so f*** them, it is H2B and My DAY

    I think the 'wmpj' bit in the text probably meant 'work'. I don't know your mil2b so I don't know if she is nasty enough to not allow her daughter to be your flower girl but I would hope that just because she doesn't want to be a part of it she wouldn't keep her daughter from it. I'm sure your flower girl would still love to be a part of your wedding. Maybe your h2b can deal with the your mil2b about the flowergirl coming around. Really hope it's all sorted out in your favour and soon xxx

    I am sure MIL2B will come and as soon as we can I will have a chat with her because I can't forget and forgive just like this. Her other daughter who is my friend and a bridesmaid was so upset at her mum last night so thanks to her I might be able to talk better and make her understand I love her son, and he loves me and she'd better accept it.
