[quote=Anonymous]If you go it will show your boyfriend you support him and his family, even if you don't get along with that rude woman. Your relationship with him is far more important, so making a concession here to keep the peace will mean a lot.

His mother invited you, so declining may offend or hurt her. As the matriarch of their family, keeping her happy and maintaining a good relationship with her is important for your own wellbeing and your boyfriend's.

Not going when his whole family will be there may create tension and drama that carries over to your boyfriend. Even if that woman is awful to you, don't let her drive a wedge between you two or cause problems for him with his family. Take the high road.

Your presence there, despite the rude treatment, shows how classy and gracious you are. She may never change, but others will notice your kindness and patience in the face of her bad attitude. In the long run, that makes her look petty while raising you in their esteem.

Once the wedding happens, you'll be seeing a lot more of her. Making an effort now, even if just briefly popping into the shower, helps establish that you're willing to be civil and build bridges from your side. That way you can say you tried, and the ball is in her court. [/quote]
