Mother In Law Wants To Know If She's In The Wrong For Inviting Daughter In Law Without Her Son's Permission

Family drama is something that pretty much all of us have experienced before, and it seems that in-laws are a common denominator in many situations. However, in this case, the in-law might actually be in the right.

This story starts off with a couple who seems to be in disagreement, and the mother-in-law goes behind her son's back to invite his wife to a wedding. This doesn't sound like a big deal to most, but as we read the story, we realize that the son definitely wasn't okay with this.

Family drama isn't so fun for those going through it, but it seems to be something that many people are entertained by, regardless of the family's feelings. This thread on Reddit is yet another of the AITA threads where people explain a situation and basically get responses on whether they are in the wrong or not.

This situation is quite similar to some others that we have seen, and the comments came flooding in with opinions. We're going to dive into this story and see what OP said, as well as get a first look at any comments left by Reddit users.

Let's find out who really is the asshole.

The mother-in-law comes to Reddit on an AITA thread.

She goes on to say that she ended up inviting her, and this is basically how her son reacted to that.

Reddit commenters are speculating on where her son got this behavior from.

Another commenter says that her son, and definitely her husband, are in the wrong, and she did the right thing.

People are coming for the son's father, saying that he probably got that behavior from him.

"Sonny boy sure is." Yep, he's definitely in the wrong.

Abuse is definitely not a light subject, and this should be considered abuse of some sort.

Ladyughsalot1

Yes, he definitely is controlling, and it seems that it's just going to get worse.

I agree that she should definitely stay in contact with her, just in case.

This is so true. His issue was with her having fun, not that she wasn't doing her "job" or role.

This person said it best because this whole thing is a red flag.

THIS. A hostage situation right under your nose.

People seem to be in agreement with this situation.

She definitely should talk to her daughter-in-law to see exactly what is going on behind closed doors.

EliseCowry

She's definitely NTA, and everyone seems to agree.

This is honestly such a sad situation, but we are thankful for OP.

abcwva

Her son is by far the asshole.

Geoppertia_Insignis

She could use OP's help getting out of that situation.

She may be in danger if she isn't already, because this stuff usually escalates.

ElleArr26

Some parents don't notice these types of things, so it's good that OP is.

This comment said it best.

After reading this story, it's hard to imagine that things like this go on every day, and not every MIL is as observant as OP was. Plus, a lot of people turn a blind eye to their children not acting right.

I think I speak for all of us when I say that I hope this situation gets resolved soon and without any more abuse. We are keeping OP and her DIL in our thoughts.
