Tell the buttinsky family members that you will consider a new relationship with the boyfriend's mother as soon as you receive a sincere, public (group chat or family event) apology for her slanderous statements against you.
Oh for crying out loud - the woman just wanted to create a video to post so she could get hits or likes or whatever it is that people with no self esteem whatsoever desperately need to get through their day.

OP made my day. Perfect revenge by refusing to stoop as low as the abusers. Plus mind-fùcking. Beautiful.
Seems like karma came to visit the pranking cousin. My ex liked to scare me and do things he knew I would react badly to. He thought if he thought it was funny everyone should think it was funny. He is my ex for a reason. Good for OP.

Apparently, far too many people never learned even the most basic rules of etiquette. Miss Manners must be rolling in her grave.

NTA. The friend is the one who broke the rules of etiquette (NEVER bring an unknown, uninvited guest along), so all discomfort and embarrassment is completely on him.

Regardless of the situation, if someone asks you for a favor, you are not obligated to say YES.

Another guest mentioned that the couple had quarreled before the dinner party. If they quarreled because she wanted to come, she's the jerk who couldn't wait for another invitation. If the quarrel was over something else, then maybe he brought her to smooth things over with a nice meal. Not the host's job to do couples support.

I would have suggest just telling the fiance that both cats are moving in with them, but it sounds like Julius might one day "disappear"with no warning or explanation. Better to cancel all plans with the fiance. Cats should ALWAYS triumph over controlling anti-feline a-holes.

Stop doing dinners. Do movie night and serve snacks

I’m with the folks saying talk to *him*, with or without the daughter present. If it’s behavioural, he can be assured that he doesn’t have to eat to be a welcome addition to the dinner table regardless of where it is. So long as it doesn’t make him uncomfortable to just sit there while others eat, his company is all that’s necessary. If it does make him uncomfortable, then they’ll stop inviting the couple for meals out, and for family dinner at home, he can do just about anything he wants for the duration of the meal. Watch tv, read a book, hang out in the garden, go for a walk, play solo jenga. Meanwhile, efforts will be made to have a relaxed meal but remembering that he’s around and not spend hours on it. If it’s cultural, all I can say is things have changed a lot since I lived in Mexico. I certainly don’t see what’s wrong with pointing out a guest’s culture is no excuse for offending their host. ETA The point is to find a constructive, inclusive, solution where OP no longer feels resentful, BF is included in a way that doesn’t make him uncomfortable, and GF doesn’t feel obliged to defend him (which also leads to resentment).

Their embarrassment comes from being called out for their laziness. Suggest that in future the hosting duties should rotate between Dad and the sibling(s). Then stop arguing, stop defending yourself, and stop feeling guilty.

The correct response (in addition to bawling the woman out over the phone) would have been to respond to the MIL's facebook post with the angry emoji and announce to all of her followers that this will NOT be the baby's name, a fake name was given to MIL because they knew she could not be trusted to keep her word of honor. See how THAT plays out!

When the only choices offered to you are open marriage or divorce, the answer should be "Divorce, thank you".....while recording everything that is said for your own future protection.

I came here to say this same thing. Title should be "MIL and DIL have mundane conversation about dinner and nothing happens".

Wow, it's censoring "effing" which isn't even a real swear. BP is censoring the censors now.

Two separate issues here: gender reveal party? ree-god.d**n-diculous waste of money that could have been spent on diapers, but whatever; out of control 13-year-old mama's boy who destroys plans and events for fun? banned for life, along with his enabling mother.

While my employer is not completely toxic, I have been making notes (at home, on paper) for my exit interview for several years now - adding things that crop up and erasing things that get fixed. I suspect HR will be surprised at how low they score with me......but they won't find out until my retirement is signed, sealed and delivered.
I would have waited for that inevitable last "I miss you so much, let's do something" text and replied with a simple and direct "No." THEN blocked her. And all of her minions. Who cares what they say about you behind your back?

OP saw the red flags from the start + did nothing. She *saw* how MIL + hubby were before OP had a kid and had one anyway. I have some sympathy but not as much as I would have if the red flags hadn't been flying all this time.

Why can't people stop sticking their oar in?

It’s refreshing to see a bride say “our best day” instead of “my best day”. Too many of these are the bride thinking the day is all about her, instead remembering the actual point of a wedding.

The poster's reaction was absolutely correct. Loyalty tests of any kind are cause for immediate "unfriending".
