Family
It all came bubbling over

My mom and oldest sister (who's my matron of honor) came up tonight to try to have a conersation with Rob, his mother, and myself. I didn't know they were coming until they got here. Mom asked to have a civil adult conversation and Rob agreed and called his mom over.

It last 3 hours almost before my mom and sister stormed out. All this after his mother tried to come after my sister, physically; he threatened to call the cops to make my sister leave because she refused to leave while I was sitting outside rocking back and forth crying because I was so stressed; and my mom and his mom had a HUGE screaming match.

In the end, Rob's mother (and even partly Rob), tried to push the blame off on me. I was "miscommunicating" with people or I was "misunderstanding" them. So, I'm apparently just a bridezilla bitch (because I wanted the cake that I want, not a home made cake and because I wanted to be a part of setup).

Now Rob says he's done planning, his mom says she's done planning.......neither of them want to have any input or any part of the rest of it. Right now, Rob hasn't even spoke to me since his mother left 2 hours ago.

I feel like everything is falling apart around me and like it's all my doing. If I had done SOMETHING, ANYTHING differently.....maybe I could have made everyone happy. Everyone but me, atleast. But that would be fine, as long as everyone else was happy and got along.

Yikes. That totally sucks. It sounds like Rob is caught in the middle. Maybe talk to him, just the two of you?

Ugh. What a mess, love. I'm so sorry you're hurting right now. First of all, this isn't your fault. This is YOUR wedding, not your Moms or his Moms. Its the wedding of YOU & Rob. What does he want? Does he want a homemade cake? If so, call it a draw. You'll pay for a small wedding cake and you can have whoever is making the homemade cake, make it. :)

Wedding planning is stressful. I'm so sorry you're going through this chaos.

aww, I'm so sorry! That sounds horrible. Forget about the mom's fighting...focus on yourself and Rob. Could you have a sit down with him and explain to him your side of the story and that you need him behind you 100%? I never used to be able to do this bc I'd end up screaming and crying and then he wouldn't pay attention, but once I learned how to be calm when I speak with him about arguement stuff, he finally started listening! I'm sure it's hard for him to have to go against you or his mother, but you've got to remind him that decisions should be made with you in mind now, not with his mommy in mind, WITHOUT saying as much! Definitely don't come anywhere near actually saying these words! We're here for ya girl, good luck!

I agree with the other ladies. This day is about you and rob not what your moms want or anybody else. You need to sit down a discuss things with him and come to a decision. It will work out :)

Um wow what a crazy time you are having.  I agree you might just want to talk to him without all the crazy pressure of the family around.  It is just sad that people can't see it isn't their wedding and their opinions are fine, but your opinion is the one that ultimately matters...you and Rob are the ones that ultimately need to be happy.  They are being selfish not you.
