“My mother-in-law was such a nightmare. When we were preparing to leave for the airport for the honeymoon, we get a call from my sister-in-law in hysterics, saying we had to get to the hospital NOW. My mother-in-law put herself in the hospital to try to stop him from leaving on our honeymoon.
We got to the emergency room in rapid.
‘Looks like your wife will have to go on the honeymoon without you!’ is how my mother-in-law gleefully put it. I didn’t, to her obvious dismay. After several hours, the doctor told her that all her tests came back normal so she could go home. She then fake-faints. It was such a bad acting job, with hand fluttering to her forehead and swooning. We all just stood there staring at her. The doctor didn’t even move to check on her as it was so obvious.
She miraculously ‘comes to,’ and asked what happened, did she just faint? Clearly, she was not well enough to go home. I don’t know how she did it but she convinced the doctor to keep her on 24-hour hold for observation. We missed our flight, so we changed it to the next day, as well as our hotel and car hire. My sister-in-law would not stop screaming at us how our union was ‘killing’ her mother, and how my husband had to stay to look after their mother since it was all his fault for marrying me.
The next day, we stopped into the hospital on our way to the airport. The doctor and nurses are clearly annoyed, telling my mother-in-law she has to leave the hospital as nothing is wrong with her and they have discharged her. She was fighting tooth and nail to stay in hospital. She was throwing a tantrum in the room, refusing to get dressed.
The doctor was long gone at this point, and the poor nurse looked at us and firmly says, ‘You need to get her dressed and get her home.’
I have had enough at this point. I put my foot down and tell my husband I was leaving with or without him for the honeymoon. My mother-in-law had a look of triumphant winning on her face as clearly, she ‘won’ and her son would of course choose mummy over the wife.
My husband put me before her, telling her he was leaving, regardless of her staying in hospital or not. She wailed some more about ‘how could he do this to her’ and how she was.
My father-in-law turned to us and said, ‘Just leave.’
He clearly had enough, too. We leave and have a fantastic honeymoon, undisturbed.
Haha, yeah right.
She was blowing up my husband’s phone from the moment we left the hospital. When he turned his phone off, she then started ringing the hotel, leaving messages at the front desk FOR WHEN WE CHECKED IN. His sister also joined in on incessantly trying to contact him to scream at him. This did not stop for the entire trip. We probably received about 5-10 calls a day from the combined. It was such a stressful nightmare that we ended up fighting for much of our honeymoon.”
