My fiance invited his mother on our honeymoon with us without asking me – but what he did next was even worse
A WOMAN has been left fuming after her fiance invited his mum along to their honeymoon.
The bride-to-be was shocked when her fiance asked his mum to join them without consulting her first while giving his mum a car ride back from the shops.

The woman was expecting a traditional honeymoon, where the newlyweds spend quality one-on-one time together away from the stress and responsibilities of everyday life.
The 22-year-old took to Reddit and explained she was getting married in four months time.
She said the pair had planned and organised everything together for their special day.
The woman wrote: “At first, a few months ago, he said he want to change our honeymoon to a family vacation so his parents and my mum can get to know each other more, I agreed so we researched where to go and for how long.”
But just a few weeks later, her fiancé changed his mind on this front, stating that he didn’t want to bring his family along given that his relationship with them is “kind of rough”.
Once again, she agreed with the plan, and they began drawing up a honeymoon for two.
But this was not the last time her fiance would backtrack on their honeymoon plans.
She revealed: “Everything was going fine until a few days ago when I was shopping with my soon-to-be mother-in-law.

“On the ride home my boyfriend asked her if she wanted to join us on our honeymoon.
“I was shocked and mad but I stayed silent”.
When they dropped off his mum, she asked why as none of her family were going to come on the honeymoon.
He told her that it was fine, and they would just go with his side of the family.
But she still wasn’t happy, she messaged her fiance letting him know how she felt.
Rather than apologising for making plans without her and ruining their honeymoon, he shockingly turned around and told her she was ‘making a big deal out of something that isn’t so important.”
Now she says she’s being made to feel guilty ‘for making a fuss about something small.’
She explained she wasn’t mad about the change of plans but was cross he didn’t talk to her first.
She alluded that this wasn’t the first time it had happened with the couple’s wedding plans.
Reddit users were quick to tell her she shouldn’t feel guilty, one wrote: “Someone who makes all the decisions without involving you is not a nice man, and is thinking about themselves and not about you and your needs and wishes.”
“It’s just so annoying, and if I’m being honest, a bit of a red flag. He’s forcing you into situations that you don’t want to be in, taking advantage of the fact that you can’t make a scene in public.” Added another user.
A third said: “This isn’t a minor flaw. A minor flaw is ‘he goes to the toilet and leaves the door open’, not ‘he makes lots of decisions by himself or changes decisions we made together without asking me’. That is a big flaw, and would be a serious problem for most people.”
