Mom's nervous for me to get married!

My mom and hot and cold with my dh. I told her almost everything happening at home. Oftentimes she told me to be patience, but there are times where she told me to just pack and live with her. I think it’s pretty normal. Put your feet in her shoes. You probably would worry of your daughter too. Can I say that she is having a “cold feet”? 😊

Oh man, maybe! Just hoping she's not all weird the week of! I'd just love for all the families to be happy and chill!

View Quoted Comment Well, you can talk to her. Ask her why she is being pessimistic. I guess she is afraid being away from you. You can chat, videocall, or call her everyday like I do with my mom. She literally live on the opposite of the globe, but we are still close to each other. I visit her at least once a year. However, I feel like the distance bring me closer to my mum🥂

Thank you so much

My mother-in-law became super strange and actually very difficult. It’s heightened emotions during this time, but I don’t believe that’s a great excuse for his mother to act like a 7 year old... in your situation, she is most likely afraid of being so far from you! My mother would be the same way for sure!!!

You're probably right! I guess I just imagined it would be the most exciting and happy time...but it's awkward and tense? lol

My mom was off about the wedding the whole time. She loves my fiancé and has never expressed any kind of dislike, but I think she was just sad her only child is getting married. I never asked her why because it was an argument I wanted to avoid....

It sounds like your mom’s having trouble dealing with you moving so far away once you are married. She’s associating the wedding with losing you and therefore is having a really hard time being excited about it.

Could just be the anxiety of seeing your kids start a new chapter in their lives aha like maybe she’s worried about how things will go and your adjustment to the transition, etc

No, my parents could care less lol.

My dad loves DH. Liked him from the start, then DH nursed me through pneumonia, and dad was sold.

My relationship with my mother is currently non-existent, because her relationship with reality is tenuous enough that she got offended over the invites. I have no idea what her real feelings are for DH.

My parents have hated my fiance from the moment we met. It's a long story on why, but none of their reasoning is at all reasonable. We are high school sweethearts (4.5 years together on our wedding day!) and they have tried everything in their power to get us to break up. Us getting engaged was a huge shock and disappointment to them, but to keep up appearances they have stayed civil. I have nightmares that they will act out on our wedding day. So yes, I understand parents being crazy and weird lol.
