OP’s parents divorced when they were seven, mainly because their dad had an affair. The divorce happened because their parents were pressured into marriage by their own parents and never had a strong connection. Their mom later remarried to Owen, who was indifferent to OP. As a result, OP preferred their dad’s home, where they had a stepmom, Emma, who treated them well.<\/p>\n
Now, OP is getting married to Kate, who has a good relationship with Emma but a more distant one with their mom. When Kate asked their mom to wear yellow for the wedding, things took a bad turn. Their mom reacted negatively, saying it wasn’t fair and making some unreasonable comments. OP pointed out that their mom wasn’t a single mom, given her marriage to Owen. This escalated into a heated argument, with Owen getting involved. OP’s mom called Kate names and refused to wear yellow, leading to a major disagreement. It’s clear that OP’s preference for their dad and Emma has caused ongoing tension, but the argument over the wedding dress has escalated the situation.<\/p>\n

OP’s mom married Owen, who cared more for her than OP. Owen helped when necessary but wasn’t close to OP.<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
OP preferred dad’s house, mom didn’t mind. They spent weekends together, but OP liked dad and Emma more. Their relationship with mom is okay.<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Getting married to “Kate.” She gets along with Emma but not much with OP’s mom, who’s a wedding planner, causing tension.<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Kate asked OP’s mom to wear yellow for the wedding. Mom initially agreed, but when she learned Kate and Emma had already chosen, she got upset.<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Mom called Kate disrespectful, claimed she couldn’t wear yellow as a blonde (strange), and Owen laughed at the wedding colors, causing tension.<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
OP laughed and clarified she wasn’t a single mom; Owen supported her, but she got defensive and insulted Kate, leading to a confrontation.<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
OP’s mom needs to respect their wedding choices.<\/h2>\n
Some Redditors also think it was an ESH case.<\/h2>\n
Choosing sides between parents is never easy.<\/h2>\n
Do you agree?<\/h2>\n
OP could have done better.<\/h2>\n
