Advice on Moh/bridesmaid

Kassandra, on April 11, 2020 at 8:33 PM Posted in Planning 0 7

So, my fiancé and his step-sister have been in my life for about 12 years now. Ever since my fiancé and I got together, his family has hated me for some reason. They told my fiancé we aren't going to last, they told him they like me...but they like me better without him in my life. They have told him I am only with him for his money, which makes no sense. When he called and told his dad he was going to buy a ring to propose to me, his dad said, "Well, I probably won't get to come to this wedding, so I hope I will make it for the next wedding." Insinuating we are not gonna last, and he will get married again. His step sister got mad when I did not text her, immediately, after the proposal. My fiancé changed the relationship status to "Engaged" on Facebook, and it somehow changed mine, as well (We were on a cruise, and my phone just would not work!). She told me I was a horrible friend for not telling her, and she got extremely mad at me for that. She told my fiancé he is dead to her now, but still acting like she cares about him. My fiancé is, actually, in the Air Force, and he is away this year in South Korea. His family has not text me at all asking how I am or if I need anything. They did not even text me to say anything about the Save the Dates that I made, but my fiancé's mother text him about them. They never ask about me or anything. So, even though I have known this family for 12 years, I have pulled away from them because they treat me as if I do not exist. They never make me feel welcomed in their home, it has just been a bad past year being around them. His step-sister was supposed to be my MOH; however, I do not, personally, feel she deserves the right to be in the wedding. She never congratulated me for getting engaged. She never asked to see the engagement photos. She just has not been there for me. Should I, still, make her my MOH? Am I overreacting? I am terrified his family is going to cause issues with everything, and I constantly find myself crying over all of this!

    No you shouldn't make her your MOH. She can attend as the family of the groom. You can continue to work on your relationship with the family but shouldn't make anyone your MOH that is not 100% in your corner

    Thank you for commenting! This is how I have been feeling, but I have been back and forth. I don’t want any drama, and I feel that would create a lot of drama (his family loves creating drama)! This has just been a really rough year with his family, and the relationship doesn’t seem to be getting any better, unfortunately. So, thank you for your take on this!

    I would say that she absolutely does NOT deserve to be your MOH. Your MOH should be someone who treats you with respect and wants to be there for you. I don’t think you should feel guilty at all. She can attend as his family but not bridal party

    Sorry you are having a crappy time with FH family. I really can't say anything because FH sister, brother and step dad and I don't really talk but they really don't tale to FH anyway. The only reason I am inviting them is because I love his mom and it would hurt her.


    Good luck with your FH family.

    Thank you so much! My FH’s family doesn’t really talk to him all that much. My family has talked to him, since he has been in SK, than his family has. And when they do talk to him, they never ask him how he is...it’s just about their problems! He is the peacemaker, so he doesn’t like making anyone mad or upset! So, this has become such a delicate topic to talk about! I just wish I had a relationship with someone, but they won’t try, unfortunately!


    Thank you for that!! Best of luck to you!! Smiley smile

    Thank you!! She hasn’t treated me with respect in a long time! She tries to play the victim every time, making me feel as if I do everything wrong. Thanks for your advice!!

    I am so sorry for all of this. This all sounds so shocking to me as I read through your story. If it's not in your heart, do not make her your MOH. I have a good friend who has a MIL and SIL who are bat-crazy, tried to break up their wedding by stating she was cheating on her then fiancé which was COMPLETELY FALSE. Ever since his MIL has always treated her and talked down about her in ways such as for being a stay-at-home mom, when she (MIL) doesn't hold a job. They've had nothing but drama from his family but he has always stood by her (his wife's) side and has had her back in any given situation. Unfortunately to the point where he told his mother that he was done with her. It's terrible that they're causing this riff in your and your FH's lives.

    How is he holding up? Does he see any of this? Does he support you?
