Only the latter. She's a self-centered, egotistical narcissist. They are incapable of the emotions required to end themselves. Those 'attempts', each, and every one were nothing more than manipulative stunts to coerce the outcome she wants

Thank you so much for missing the point and proving it at the same time.

[@BrightElk]

@@thinkforyourself518I am a woman who has lived through male violence. However my husband was also severely neglected and abused by his own mother and I think his case was significantly worse because his family expected him to just suck it up and man up because he’s a male and he ended up on the streets for it while for myself and my mother we had all kinds of local resources and family coming to our aid. Men definitely have it worse trust me.

[@ehtishamkhan2004]

​@@thinkforyourself518 everyone knows that abuse happens to women too. In fact, abuse towards women is given way more focus while abuse towards males is largely ignored or downplayed.

[@mohammudyousuf622]

Statically speaking women abuse children more than man. I was shocked when I found out this.

[@tionajimenez]

My thing is, he was dumb and intentionally ignored her calls while in the lounge on his phone. He did everything behind her back. He lied to his wife. They were married for a day and he was fine with hiding and sneakingnbehind her back. Idc how much his mom had manipulated him but that was bs. Mil would have weasled her way into their room even if it was in a different hotel. Was he gonna dip out and leave op, you know his new wife, for a few hours a day to do tourist things with mommy? He was really okay intentionally not sitting next to his wife?

[@Nexidal]

I see many people talking about how he's been abused, and he very clearly has, but he's also an adult and his actions and behaviors are on him. He's lucky his wife was willing to give him the chance to take action and deal with his problems. I wouldn't in that situation, and I know no one who would. I had an abusive parent, and my advice to anyone who is in a similar situation is it's not worth it. I told mine not to include me in a will, never contact my family, not to call me on their deathbed, and to make arrangements for someone to handle his remains if it matters to him since I'm his oldest kid and if they get sent to me they're going straight into the garbage. Haven't heard from him in years, life is good.

Was anyone else’s manipulation and entitlement alarms going off on full blast? Because the amount that the mil was showing was insane. I mean, did she really think that the fact that she was the husband’s mother alone gave her a reason to control every aspect of his life? Quite frankly she deserved a harsher reality check than what she got in the end.

How is he a red flag?

[@Whykickamoocow]

Glad he finally grew a pair and a backbone. Who the hell allows their mother to tag along on their honeymoon

[@apollograyling-hastur3995]

I mean I get that but on the opposite side of the spectrum, my oldest brother got married about a month before he passed. Not only invited us to a traditional norse wedding but when they went on their honeymoon it was to our home town and we met up with the couple a few times for dinner and to go for a hike. In hindsight I’m glad we did because they had to cut their honeymoon short because he needed to go to the hospital

[@Eventidesis]

I don't think I'd ever last as long as OP did with her husband. But I'm glad that he's FINALLY getting help. My first instinct was to belittle him for his inability to stand up to his mom, but what his mom did (and continued to do) was straight-up mental and emotional abuse. She's 100% aware of it, too, as evident by her taking full advantage of his attention after her attempt to unalive herself. He doesn't deserve this kind of treatment, especially at the hands of his own mother.

[@89wolfcub]

14:00 “Instead I had to remain dignified so I yelled…”😂😂😂 Dignified 👌 lol

[@sammyf0x]

I like that she gave a final heartfelt conversation instead of just leave like other stories, and they understood each other and went through what to do next. Kudos for them clear things out. And the husband is now free from manipulation.

[@CeltycSparrow]

Dare I ask why MIL feels she needs to come with her son and his new wife on their HONEYMOON? Isn't that something that the newlyweds should be doing ALONE? And then husband gets business class tickets for him and his Mommy and leaves his wife in coach by herself. I would RUN if I were you, bride. With all of his mother's ridiculously silly rules, I'm surprised she allowed him to get married, let alone date this girl and propose to her.

[@marilynbartlett1850]

Probably only because she wants grandchildren (whom she can also control with an iron fist just like son), and while she may wish she could give them to him (ew!) it's not socially appropriate, so enter bride. Mom would probably try to figure out a way to get them divorced and get custody of the children after.

[@sheilatagg2699]

I think putting a bit of distance between the couple and mummy was a good idea. I think they'll eventually be able to meet with her but on their own terms.

[@shachilight]

As someone whose mother is also like this, unless he’s ready to cut her off completely, she’s going to be a contact problem. These kind of mothers have so much powers over the child’s mind. I took me 25 years to finally accept that I was a victim of manipulation, physical abuse and mental abuse, and I don’t owe her anything for giving birth to me.

[@smorphous8928]

We all know the business class ticket wasn’t the main issue, that’s just the breaking point of Op being disrespected time and time again. It’s the fact he always takes his mothers side despite how it’ll affect Op. He’s not just a red flag, he’s the definition of a red flag.

[@Montyandrew45]

The fact OP made it to the wedding dealing with this.....

[@user-bs7cr6ot1p]

The fact that his mother still went even tho she kept saying how she couldn’t be so far from him

[@carmenmichaels7186]

I would have broken it off at the engagement party this is just pure madness

[@NC-dw1ir]

maybe, but that poor man needed help. his dad didn't even know how bad it was. it takes an outsider to notice toxic stuff like that. I'm glad OP stuck it out and now her husband can finally be at peace. I had to go LC with my folks, too. It's not an easy decision, esp when you have siblings but you have to do what's best for you.

[@beatrispains8814]

It's a first time when OP's husband - "mama boy" is actually stand up against his mother and apologising on his knees for what he's done. With his father and therapy help rhey gonna be together and have a happy family, OP is literally saved him frm that horrible woman

[@valiantsfelinesmccarty6678]

Don't believe it these guys usually end up psychologically unstable they melt down it doesn't work In nursing I ran into them all the time and unfortunately I mistakenly married one I didn't really understand what was going on He didn't really show the usual signs she was good She never showed it until after we were married. He also hid the parents from me for over 7 months of dating I didn't meet them until he had a medical emergency an allergic reaction to Rx cough medicine. They didn't even know about me I should have walked at that time. I just couldn't figure out why they didn't know about me They were shocked too. Things just didn't add up but I did have second thoughts however I had gotten the wrong counseling was told it was my fault etc and the engagement had been too long I had wanted to call it all off but the counselor said no just get married and it'll all be okay No it wasn't The marriage was over within 6 months but it took two and a half more years to get away. I realized pretty early on what was going on financially and physically we've been in a really horrible car accident just before the wedding I couldn't drive nor get a job but I worked my way out of it and eventually got away. In that process he slowly devolved into a huge mess. I watched a man become a hinged because of his mother. My husband's ex-wife did this to his children She used the same thing I'm pretty sure she molested their son who keeps their child sleeping with them and their lover until the age of seven or eight?

[@danacarter9147]

Some part of me is glad, but unfortunately the other part of me senses that OP's happiness won't last; when OP and Val have kid on the way, Naomi will conjure up more %£?@ed up shenanigans to destroy their marriage, and OP will have to file for divorce. Not only that, OP will also have to, either, terminate her pregnancy, or give her baby up for adoption, but under no circumstances, should she give Val, her FIL, her family, friends, or others any info on her two choices.⚠️

[@Rinefi]

14:36 she literally knew it from the beginning, yet "Surprise Pikachu Face"

[@NC-dw1ir]

Let's have some compassion for Van and OP. Van has never gotten to fully live his life without his mother trying to influence things. He was always afraid she would harm herself, this isn't your typical case of a man being too cowardly to stand up to his mother, this man almost lost her and she held it over his head for years. How would you feel? And OP isn't stupid for staying with him and eventually saving him from that by getting him therapy. Not everybody in these positions are dumb or bad people. We all need a little therapy, too. So, again, let's have some compassion here.

[@AnnavelleLoc]

Van’s mother is so toxic. Undeniable. And she was diagnosed with some mental illnesses. But I wonder if Van’s dad feels somewhat responsible…? Not that I believe that but I can see the logic. The dad did a bad thing by cheating, and the mother became unwell and unstable as a result. It just adds another layer to Van’s mixed feelings. It does suck that the mother is holding him hostage by weaponizing her own health.

[@mugiwaranoluffy999]

Lol woman never take responsibility 😂 shes crazy, end of story.

The father shouldn't take responsibility because you don't just become bipolar. She was very likely crazy before hand but the father was dealing with the baggage.

​ @ChairmanMeowzah the father is the reason why she became like this because he couldn't be a decent enough husband

At that age, I didn't understand why my father wouldn't look at me whenever I called out to him from across the street. I didn't know he was seeing another woman behind my mom's back, I literally grew up wearing rose coloured glass until I was 19. These sorts of situations do happen more than you think and I hope to the gods you didn't experience this. I no longer blame myself for being so clueless as it wasn't my fault I grew up under a rock. I had a helicopter mom who sheltered us from a lot more than she should've and is now facing the consequences of her actions. All in all, it frackin sucks and I'm actually happy Van has a wife who cares about his mental health and understands what he desperately needs. If she had left him, MIL would've done far worse things to him to the point not even Matt can help. Sometimes all it takes is an outsider's perspective to pull them out and see the bigger picture ❤️‍🩹

You leave if no actions are being taken to correct the problem (they can say whatever they want but it's actions that matter). He did that in spades

It's not enough to snub OP, she wants OP to see that she is the true wife and that all OP will ever be is the sex provider and baby maker she tolerates as a public formality.

Later on, they gave us these nearly worthless plots of land. Because the mailing address the county property tax assessor sent the bill to was a matter of public record. I sold my plot at a huge loss, just so my dad couldn’t track me down.

That woman is VERY sick and by allowing her to manipulate him, he just enabled her to the point of co-dependency.

Toxic relationship from the start. I would've left him after the first moth or so in the dating phase. His mom might have some medical conditions, but he has no self respect for himself. If it took them that long to have that conversation, it shows they both lack communication. He should've heard that after all OP was put through. It's good that they are trying, but I don't see it lasting if they can't communicate properly. He knew his mom was overly posssesive, and she knew as well. Both let this happen and it wouldn't have gotten better unless they started to open up to each other. Who knows, OP probably should've gotten the marrige anulled so they could eithet try again and have it her way, or left him for better options.
