Toxic Mother-In-Law Had Almost Ruined The Honeymoon, But Luckily Husband Saved The Day

A honeymoon should be all about the newlyweds, no in-laws included.

Many girls dream of having a big wedding where they will wear a white princess wedding dress and, of course, go on a honeymoon afterward. However, nowadays, due to the global pandemic, things have changed a bit. Since large gatherings are not allowed in most countries, many couples are opting for small, intimate weddings, but when it comes to honeymoons, they still don’t skimp on that.

A honeymoon is often associated with exotic destinations, idyllic sunsets, and romantic dinners, but it is actually the time when newlyweds bond and create their first actual memories as a married couple. For their honeymoon, newlyweds usually choose a place according to their preferences, the location where they believe they will enjoy themselves the most.

However, things can get a little hairy if the mother-in-law gets involved, and one Reddit user knows this from personal experience, which she shared on a popular Reddit thread r/JUSTNOMIL. Unfortunately, this can sometimes lead to newlyweds falling out of the honeymoon phase and even result in them fighting.

“Surprise! We’re coming on your honeymoon.” How would you react if you heard this the day after you had booked your honeymoon?! Well, one Redditor experienced this exact situation, and it was not pleasant at all.

Luckily for her, she had a reasonable husband who made the right moves when needed, and disaster was avoided! Take a look at the OP’s original post to get the whole story.

Well, not so pleasant surprise.

Sometimes, mothers do not accept the fact that their son is a grown man. Even when sons establish their own families, mothers still want to be the main female figure in their lives, which is totally wrong.

Toxic in-laws can do a lot of harm to newlywed couples, but fortunately for the OP, she has a reasonable husband who knows what to do. Their honeymoon was saved by his cleverness, and it seems like this unpleasant situation strengthened their bond even more.
