Easy No

My fiancé and I are getting married in August, and his mother “Agnes” is insisting that I wear her wedding dress. I have a sense it’s because her only daughter refused to wear it when she got married two years ago. After having seen the thing, I can appreciate why: It’s hideous. I already purchased a dress that I love over a month ago, but Agnes won’t take no for an answer. My fiancé says the thing to do is ignore her. Easy for him to say since he’s not the one being endlessly needled! Can you suggest a way to tell Agnes it’s time for her to shut the fuck up?

    "I'm not open to wearing your dress or discussing this any further." Walk away.

    But also, really think about whether you want to marry a dude who's not willing to step in when it's something this silly.

    That.  Tell him that you appreciate that he's supporting your desire to wear your own dress but not standing up to you to his mom is venturing to deal breaking territory here.

    If Agnes is still this hung up about the wedding dress when you've repeatedly told her you're not wearing it, I don't think ignoring her is going to make much of a difference. It's time for your FI step in and tell her to back off, and the fact that he's leaving it entirely to you to deal with his difficult mother isn't a good sign. What is he going to do if she tries to control other, more important aspects of your life?
