Wedding Invites Gone Wild!
In a whirlwind of family drama, our protagonist and their fiancé are dealing with the fallout of a cheating father-in-law (FIL) and a mother-in-law (MIL) who admitted to being the other woman in someone else’s marriage. The couple initially sided with MIL in the aftermath of the divorce, but when she revealed her own affair, they decided to re-invite FIL and his partner to the wedding. MIL is furious, calling the affair partner ‘creepy,’ but our protagonist is standing their ground, saying that MIL’s behavior means she no longer deserves special consideration. Let’s see what the internet thinks of this explosive situation…
