I'm a pretty level-headed person. I hate making people angry so I'm more passive than aggressive. But I seriously think I'm going to blow up at someone in the very near future.

I'm close with FI's mom. At least, I was. We were close, as in, she would call me just to chat, she would go out of her way to do stuff for me, always liked my company. Well, I just found out that she apparently thinks I can be a bitch.
...what??
Back up a couple months. I got a new engagement ring. It was FI's plan, because at the time he wanted to propose, he couldn't afford my 'dream ring'. So he got me a 1ct. round solitare, and secretly had plans to replace it later on. I loved the ring he originally got me. But he knew I've always wanted a princess cut. I've always like the thicker bands.
So, a couple months ago, he asked me if I wanted to go look at a new ring. It was a surprise, and there was no way I could pass that up. He was just trying to make me happy. We could trade in the old ring for the price we paid for it, and apply that to the price of a new ring. We walked out with a new, perfect, solitaire princess cut ring. My FI is amazing, and I appreciate him so much.
Now, as people start to notice the new ring, we didn't think we had to go into the entire story to explain why it's different. Well, now I completely regret that because I found out from FSIL that FMIL is talking about it behind my back saying that it was a bitchy move to trade in the ring her son picked out and blah blah blah. FI called his mom to call her out on it, and clear everything up. But I still can't put it past me that she could say such horrible stuff about me. AND, now I'm stressing out about EVERYONE who has noticed the new ring and doesn't know the whole story and how they think about me.

I also found out yesterday that all of FI's coworkers are trying to convince him not to get married. ...um, EXCUSE ME? The worst part, one of them is someone I actually considered a friend.
He works with a bunch of women. Every single one of them is in/has been in a failed marriage. One of them is married to a man, but has decided she is a lesbian, while her husband came out that he is gay. Another one constantly cheats on her husband, and then goes into work to tell everyone the stories. What ever happened to keeping your own privacy? I just can't believe how tacky this woman is.
So, when FI told me about this conversation that he had at work, I immediately said, 'well, looks like they're not coming to the wedding'. Then he got pissed at me. Seriously? He really thinks I'm going to invite a bunch of people who don't even agree with the wedding and have flat out told him NOT TO GET MARRIED?!
These are also the people who biitched when they found out the wedding is in Detroit. One of his coworkers had the nerve to even ask 'why does it get to be where her family is, why don't you have a say? Why can't it be here?'. Number one, he did have a say, and he picked Detroit. Number two, his family doesn't live here, they are an hour away. My family is two hours away. We live in the middle of nowhere. Why would be have it here?? Number three, my family is paying for the entire thing. It's only fair to them to have it closer to them.
It's just so frustrating how rude people can be. I can't handle it. I'm too much of a happy-go-lucky person.
