Your fiancé should want to move heaven and earth to be with you. My MIL was not a fan of me. We still married. Her in-laws also did not like her and she married my FIL. Your fiancé should not waiver bc his family unless he also had doubts.

What is natural about not wanting one of your precious sons to marry someone who already has a child? B.c you know she's not a Virgin...for your son to implant his mighty seed unto?

How old are you,PP?

Yep. So, PP, you would basically force your son to "move heaven and earth" to marry his chosen partner, because you would vociferously oppose the marriage based on the partner not meeting your criteria for a proper spouse, unless your son "insisted." And then you say OP's fiance shouldn't waver because of his family's pressure, but you've already decided to exert pressure on your own children and potentially oppose their choices. You need to get your head screwed on straight. You sound like a nightmare MIL in the making.

My oldest child is 7 years old. I don't have to think about this for a long time. I don't think any mother wishes for her child to marry a single mom. Sorry if this offends you.

Hey listen. Did it ever for one second occur to you that maybe your precious son might end up being a single dad??!!!

PS you are a Jag.

Thanks for the update, OP. I may be reading too much into this but it seems to me that if he's so understanding, he's probably a little relieved that you did it so he didn't have to. His narrative will be that you broke it off with him rather than his refusal to stand up for your relationship doomed it. In any event, it doesn't matter. I'm glad you called it off but sorry for the hurt you must be feeling. Hugs.

Thanks! I'm sure his family will really hate me once the word gets out.
