Mother Decides To Book A Room Right Next To Her Daughter’s Honeymoon Suite, Drama Ensues
You want your wedding to be perfect, and one of the ways you achieve that is by prioritizing yourself and your partner. However, this woman wasn’t allowed to. By her own mother.
A few days ago, Reddit user Im_not_a_spambot submitted a story to the platform’s ‘Wedding Shaming‘ community in which she explained that her dad got her and her husband a fancy hotel suite for their big day (and night).
But the woman’s excitement was soon overshadowed by the fact that her mom booked a room right next door. For herself, her new husband, and their child. On purpose.

Divorce expert Karen Holden, who is also the founder of A City Law Firm, thinks that coping with your parents’ divorce can be incredibly difficult and emotional at any age.
Especially around such big events.
But according to Holden, you should avoid taking it personally. Of course, this is probably easier said than done in most cases, but the right things are rarely the easiest. The actual divorce and (most) reasons leading up to it, don’t usually have any relation to you and shouldn’t affect your own relationships.
Relationships are complex and hideously multilayered, where many factors over a time have a cause and effect.
In the case of your parents, this time spans beyond your own life and will have subtle points of history coming into play that were remembered or perceived by one parent differently to another.
The divorce expert thinks it’s best to at least try to avoid forming your own judgments on either parent for the separation. Sometimes the separation can appear to have an obviou villain, whereas other times there is no single reason. Either way, throwing accusations rarely helps parents move on and instead risks polarising them to live up to that rather artificial perception.
Ultimately, while relations may become strained between your parents, possibly even between you and one of your parents too, keep in mind that you can decide how you wish to manage it all to ensure that you don’t lose out on a relationship with one parent.
For most people, you only ever get the one set and it would be sad to learn you lost it over something that had nothing to do with you. The original poster (OP) seems to be confident with her decision and keeping in mind that we don’t know her mother the way she does, her choice to simply book another room might actually be the best one.

Ask your mom what's wrong with her that she wants to eavesdrop on your wedding night sex. Make sure she knows that you will not, under any circumstances, be asking her to join in.
Right. Ask her in front of as many people as possible.

If you don't do something about your mother now, I mean BEFORE you spend 1 single night in the hotel suite your father reserved for you...then you WILL end up having your husband divorce you. I'm sorry if I sound like a b***h, I truelly don't mean to... but I used to be just like you and let my mom play her petty games without even trying to confront her, stand up for myself and the man I loved, always keeping quiet about it and making excuses for my mom. And the man I loved left not because of another woman or because he no longer loved me, but because of the fact that I never stood up to my mom, never stood up for him when it came to my mom, and continued to allow my mom to control and ruin our lives with the petty games she would play. And you sweetie are walking that same road except I was engaged for 2 years and you are about to actually get married. DON'T let your mother destroy your marriage and your future. Stand up to your mom, stand up for yourself, stand up for your soon to be husband, from now on make it public to everybody involved (your entire family and future husband's family in this case) of the petty stunts she's pulling, and as much as it might hurt you to do... you NEED to tell your mom that if she continues to play her petty games and use you as a way to try and get revenge on your dad then you will disown her and completely kick her out of your life and her future grandchildren's lives. She is NOT showing you love, she's only using you as a way to get revenge on your dad for her own selfish reasons and in so doing hurting you and destroying your life. If she continues to do it and you continue to let her then eventually you will lose everything you hold dear, completely hate yourself and feel like you're worthless (that is if she hasn't already made you feel like you're worthless). I understand what you're going through and what it's like having such a piece of s**t for a mom that only plays petty games destroying your life... please take my advice.
