WTF is she going on about? Why would her mother not know what happened? Was she not invited to the wedding? Was she not at the church? Did her father not go home and talk to his wife. She doesn't have to worry about explaining to everyone. The guests that were there will tell everyone else. That MIL did that on purpose. The ring probably wasn't missing at all. A man should not strike a woman with his hand, fist or anything else but she should not have slapped him first. There would be no going back for him. He is a mama's boy who can't manage his anger and is useless under pressure. She should be glad she didn't marry him.

A wedding is a union of two families, and this event highlights how vital it is for families to support each other. Instead of creating conflict, families should work together to ensure the couple’s happiness. The lack of understanding and support from the mother-in-law can be seen as an obstacle to the couple’s future harmony.

The most fantastical portion of the story was the “ understanding employer.” Imagine your employer saying, ‘take all the time you need…your work can wait. 😂😂😂😂😂 Addendum: My comment wasn’t that deep.

[@patriciamcclain7601]

Exactly. If he was bold enough to lose control so easily and in a public place with many witnesses how violent would he become after marriage in the privacy of the home. And he didn't slap her. He made a fist and punched her. To strike before marriage like that he definitely would have been an abusive husband. She really dodged a big bullet. Never accept a partnership with a man whose father is gone and the mother clings to the son. She will always be first and he will always take her side. The pain of betrayal now is nothing compared to what it would have become had she married him.
