    My partners mum is driving me insane, she makes me feel uncomfortable, and critises everything I say do involving my wedding, she don't like the colour scheme, she don't like the dresses I have chosen, she doesn't like the fact her son is getting married that's what I put it down to, she is always telling me she misses him and thinks it would be better if he moves back home?? I'm worried she is going to ruin my big day, there is only nine months left and I have already lost all the spark and excitement I had for my day. HELP what do I do????

    Could you avoid her for awhile? Or just change the subject when it comes up?
    We all love wedding here so you can discuss anything with us, we'll get excited for you :)

    I think mil needs to cut the apron strings. How does h2b feel about her behaviour? I grandma used to say that your children are lent to you. Does she expect h2b to live at home in his forties or fifties. Don't think she will get on board with the wedding until she understands her son needs to lead his own life. Can you get h2b to talk to her?

    Yes some cant let go, I imagine my mother being like this with my brother if he ever meets anyone as he's over 30 and she does everything for him. Don't tell her anything x x

    She needs to let go a little bit, and like lala said, don't tell her anything, then she cannot criticise you.

    I suggest your H2B has a word - tells her that he wants to get married and have a life and she needs to learn to back off. And be careful what you tell her xxx
