This 23-year-old woman and her husband, Eric, also 23, have a very loving, stable marriage.

While her husband is a wonderful person, the same can’t be said about his Family members–in particular, his mother.

Unfortunately, she has had a lot of disagreements with her husband’s mother throughout the years, and the conflicts escalated during the wedding planning process, which spanned a full year.

“She told me to uninvite my family members so she could invite more of her own friends and complained about different budgeting things when she wasn’t paying for anything,” she said.

Eric’s entire family is hyper-focused on how others will judge them, and they always want to impress the people around them.

Their wedding day was so special and magical. She felt incredibly happy and thankful for such a wonderful wedding, and Eric felt the same way when they discussed it later.

They both loved that their wedding was on the more minimalistic side but was still so romantic and memorable.

One of her and Eric’s favorite moments from that day was the speeches from members of both sides of their families. The speeches were incredibly meaningful.

Several weeks later, she and Eric were on a video call with Eric’s family. His mother mentioned the wedding and said that she thought the speeches were amazing but gave one caveat that she took issue with.

“Eric’s brother said that Eric and I were the humblest people she knew. She said that she laughed at that because she didn’t think Eric was humble,” she explained.

“In fact, she said none of their family members were. My mother-in-law added, ‘I mean, of course, none of us are humble. How could we be humble? We’re all a little bit pretentious, honestly. Of course, we don’t mean to be, but we simply can’t help it. We don’t have many reasons to be humble, and you don’t either, Eric! That’s why I found that so amusing.'”

Even though she’s always known that most of Eric’s family has a tendency to be conceited, her mother-in-law’s words stunned her. While his family is happy and comfortable, she wouldn’t consider any of them to be rich or have intensely competitive careers.

Her mother-in-law is a teacher, while her father-in-law is a pastor at a tiny church. Her in-laws own a pretty small home in an unsafe area right outside a large city.

She doesn’t have an issue with any of these things at all, but she doesn’t see where her husband’s mother gets her arrogance from and why she thought Eric being humble was so laughable.

“I responded, ‘What do you mean? I think Eric is very humble. What are you pretentious about?’ My mother-in-law literally SCOFFED and said, ‘Well, we just appreciate the finer things in life! Particularly the arts, literature, things like that. We’re sort of intellectuals, and Eric certainly takes after us! Perhaps he just hasn’t shown you these worlds yet,'” she shared.

Understandably, she was irritated that his mother-in-law was hinting that she didn’t think she was an “‘intellectual.'” She also couldn’t stand her mother-in-law’s snooty tone.

Sadly, this isn’t the first time that her husband’s family members have made unfair assumptions about her over the years. Several times, they’ve told her that she sounds “‘common'” because she has a Southern accent.

Her mother-in-law’s comments touched a nerve this time, and she couldn’t hold back.

“I smiled and responded, ‘Oh, those are just common interests! That’s great! I don’t think y’all have anything to be pretentious about!'” she continued.

Her mother-in-law wasn’t too thrilled with this comment, and she didn’t have much to say before she got off the phone not too long after.

Then, several minutes after the call ended, her husband’s mother texted Eric to say that she wasn’t happy with what she said, claiming that she’d “‘looked down on them'” and had an “‘elitist attitude.'”

She doesn’t want to think about the situation anymore, but Eric feels like she should send a text to his mother to say she’s sorry for what she said. He expressed that he knows his family is difficult to deal with sometimes, but he assured her that they’re kind and loving deep down. He continued and said that he hoped she would be able to grow closer to them over time.

However, she doesn’t have any interest in doing so, but in the back of her mind, she’s worried she’s childish for feeling this way.
