Ok, I got engaged about a month ago and he and I have been living together for about 6 months and together a year.
I was married before to a guy that I knew my family liked (I didn't realize how much until we divorced) and even though he and I are still really good friends, we just decided that's all we were.We have been divorced for over a year and seperated at least two years before that. It was an easy divorce and we have both moved over a 1000 from where we lived together and at least 1000 miles from each other.
Today was the day that I was going to tell my mother we were engaged. I had asked my cousin to officate and even though I swore him to secrecy...well secrets always find a way of coming out. I didn't want her to find out through someone else.
When I called to tell her, she cut me off and asked me if I could Skype with her and her best friend later this afternoon. the only problem? She wanted to know if my FI was going to be home during that time because not only has she not told her best friend we are a couple and living together, she hasn't told her that I am even divorced!!!! So maybe we could do this when he was at work.
I was shocked. I explained to her that she needed to tell her and wondered what the big deal was. I haven't seen the best friend in about 6 years, but she is going to get an invitation to the wedding. Then my mother said she had to go and hung up on me.
I am just shocked this actually happened. she still doesn't know and now FI is upset because he thinks she was asking him to leave his own house just for a her best friend.
