Man Gets Roasted Online For Uninviting His SIL To His Wedding Because His Mother Is "Weirdly Jealous" Of Her
Never punish the victim, as that would mean enabling the abuser.
A family wedding turned into a full-blown Reddit drama after one man decided his sister-in-law was no longer welcome. The reason, he says, is that his mother has been acting “weirdly jealous” of her for years, and the tension has already caused serious damage once before. Now the OP is planning his own big day, but a new warning from his fiancée has pushed him into a corner.
One uninvitation later, his brother was furious, and the family fallout only got messier from there. Read on.

Planning a wedding and deciding who gets to come is never easy, especially if there’s already existing family drama. But then again, have you ever wondered what type of mother-in-law you would be to your son’s wife or daughter’s husband?
Anyways, do you think the OP was wrong in his approach to this situation? Leave a reply in the comments section.
This wedding drama is far from over.
For more wedding heat, see how a bride banned her wild brother after his behavior crossed lines, and family pushed back.
