So my mom has always been a difficult one. My friends know this. The rest of my family knows this. My fiance knows this.
To make it short, the other day I'm asking my mom about wedding colors (a neutral kind of territory to get her used to the idea of talking about the wedding), since we just got engaged a couple weeks ago, (and not that I needed to be discussing this so early but again, neutral territory).
During the conversation, she makes comments that include:
"Why do you need to decide colors? The wedding may not even happen."
"You may find someone else." ...mom I'm not going to meet someone else...."well that's just because you don't want to meet someone else."
"He just takes advantage of you."
Ugh. How does one deal with this? She's met my fiance dozens of times and we split financial decisions equally (which frankly, are none of her business, which may lead to why she makes the taking advantage of comments in the first place because she assumes I pay for everything..because unfortunately, she's a co-signer on my credit card..since she can only see one side of things). There is lots more, but it would be terribly long.
Am I the only one who has a mother like this?
