[quote=Anonymous]My mother in law threatened to withhold money from my then boyfriend (her son) if he went through with proposing to me. At the time he was young and considering graduate school. We got married anyway, and she didn’t ever give him another penny. She was so horrible in those early years that it did strain our marriage at times. I just wanted her to like and accept me, and I couldn’t understand her objections. Basically, I think she is very vain and didn’t think I was pretty enough for her son. Also, he was too young in her eyes to be getting married (24). Anyway, I think that while she would never admit it, she really regrets behaving like that. She mostly damaged her relationship with her own son. We went on to have a happy marriage and three kids and have been married for decades. My husband and I have vowed to not say a word when our kids show up with their significant other and say they’re getting married. Other than welcoming them to the family. You could pay a heavy cost for being contrary, OP.[/quote]
