This story has sparked a range of opinions, each raising valid points. However, the only perspectives that truly matter here are those of this son, his fiancée, and his mother: The ultimate and most feared love triangle in history. Mothers can be notoriously possessive of their children, a feeling that takes on a whole new level of intensity when it comes to their sons. Yet, the day inevitably comes when their sons will bring another woman into their lives, and the family dynamic will begin to shift. Still, not every mother-in-law fits the «evil» stereotype whose sole mission is to keep her daughter-in-law as distant as possible.

In this case, the son finds himself questioning which role his mother plays: the controlling, possessive MIL or the loving, the-more-the-merrier kind? When she plans a «one-last family vacation» that purposefully excludes his fiancée, he starts to suspect the former. Refusing to attend without an invitation extended to his fiancée, he stands strong on his declination, while his mother insists it’s her final wish before he starts a family of his own. Now he faces a painful choice: join the trip and risk hurting his future wife, or stay home and disappoint the woman who raised him.
