When the Original Poster (OP) finds herself at odds with her future mother-in-law (FMIL) over her picky eating habits during a Christmas dinner, tensions flare and lead to an unexpected walkout.
Given her peculiar dietary preferences due to psychological factors and personal tastes, she informed her future mother-in-law (FMIL) of her dietary restrictions. She even presented a variety of alternatives for the FMIL to consider but was met with resistance.
Instead of accommodating OP’s dietary needs, FMIL suggested OP bring her own dish to the event. In retaliation, OP insisted she’d rather stay home than bring her own food as a guest.
OP expected her fiancé to side with her, yet he agreed with his mother that OP should bring her own dish. The betrayal from her partner intensified her resolve to not attend the Christmas dinner without accommodations being made for her dietary needs.
Despite the disagreement, OP decided to attend the family gathering, hoping her FMIL had made adjustments. Upon arrival, she discovered that her dietary requests were ignored.
