My husband, John “Bucky” (M26), and I (F24) just returned from our week-long honeymoon two weeks ago. We call my husband “Bucky” because he resembles the character from the MCU movies. My Bucky is a bit more yummy.
Yesterday was the first time we had dinner with his family since the wedding. My sister-in-law (F20) is my favorite person besides my husband, which is why she was my Maid of Honor. She took me aside and told me what happened behind the scenes at my wedding.
A bit of background first: My mother-in-law (F48) never liked me, and she didn’t hide it from me, though she did hide it from her son. This started from the moment we began dating. She would play nice in front of him but make nasty comments as soon as he was out of sight.
At first, I didn’t say anything to Bucky, hoping that, in time, his mother would warm up to me. But it never stopped. Eventually, I had enough and started telling Bucky.
Bucky spoke with his mother, but she claimed I was misunderstanding her. She didn’t stop; she just became subtler, saying things that could be interpreted in multiple ways. I don’t blame Bucky, he did believe me, but he also believed his mother when she said she meant something else.
When Bucky proposed, I thought that would be the end of it, but she only got sneakier. I almost called off the wedding because I couldn’t handle it anymore. We had arguments, and it was frustrating.
Bucky always believed me but didn’t believe it was his mother’s intent to be hurtful. Somehow, we got through
What happened next changed everything…
