My fiancé and I were living in my apartment, but his mother started hinting that in their family, it wasn’t acceptable for the wife to have property while the husband didn’t. At first, I laughed it off.
But one day his mom and sister came over, and the sister started going on about how we needed to change the wallpaper, buy new furniture, and that all the appliances were already outdated.
I cut off her train of thought and asked why she was telling me what I needed to change in my apartment. And she said, “As soon as you get married, this won’t be your apartment anymore. You’ll move in with mom, and I’ll live here.” I asked my fiancé what that was supposed to mean, and he just sat there staring at the table.
And then his mother told me, “Sweetheart, I already said that in our family, it’s not acceptable for women to own property. After the wedding, we’re going to the notary, and you’ll transfer the apartment to my son. This isn’t up for discussion.”
I kicked them all out. Let his little family go find some other fool. © Overheard / Ideer
