Hi there!
So I don't usually post in these things but I need to vent!
My fiancé and I got engaged in July. My future mother in law got engaged just a couple of weeks ago. Although no one is really too keen on the guy, we tried to be as happy as we could for them. (Tricky situation-it was kind of a messy divorce between her and my FFIL) Anyway, she is kind of a difficult person to get along with. She's very selfish and makes a lot of things about her. We had our food tasting last night and invited her and my mother to go along with us. She spent the entire night talking about her own upcoming wedding, showing us her ring, and never really commented on our venue or the food. She also dropped the bomb that they'll be getting married before us. I'm not really too bothered by it-it's not like I'm going to make her change the date-but my own mom thinks it's totally unacceptable. They are getting married in May and our wedding is in August. My FMIL asked my fiancé and I how we felt about it and we just smiled and said it was fine. Should we have told her the truth? I feel like that just would have made things awkward and they were weird enough already. At the end of the day, we are still getting married and our wedding will be wonderful, but it does rub me the wrong way. Am I overreacting? Should I just let it go?
Any tips on how to handle the situation would he appreciated!
