Upon hearing the bride’s story about her MIL, many Redditors wondered what the groom was doing as all this went on. “You have a husband problem not just an in law problem. Fix that or throw the whole family out including the groom,” one person wrote.
Another person added, “Why didn’t your husband say ANYTHING? Either about the pictures or the dresses?”
The bride later clarified that her husband did try to intervene at least some of the time. Her husband called all of his mom’s friends to tell them “that they were not allowed to wear wedding dresses.” He also told his mom “that she would be thrown out by him if she wore a wedding dress.” However, he did not say anything about the rehearsal dinner photos.
“With the pictures, he didn’t want to cause an all out war during our rehearsal dinner,” the bride wrote. “I was hurt at the time but understand his reasoning now.” She later edited her original post to assert that her husband is not the problem. Instead, he’s been “very supportive” and “has had countless conversations” with his mom.
