AITAH for telling my fiancé I don’t want his mom in our wedding photos because she’s been trying to get me to sign a prenup she wrote herself
The original poster (OP), a 27-year-old, is preparing for a wedding next summer with their 29-year-old fiancé of five years.
The conflict centers around the fiancé's mother, who has historically disliked the OP and has been aggressively pushing the topic of a prenuptial agreement for the past year.
The mother-in-law's actions escalated to sending the OP inappropriate documents, including a sample prenup with clauses about waiving rights to future earnings and mandatory counseling for weight gain.
After the fiancé initially supported the OP but later minimized his mother's behavior, a public confrontation at a family dinner led the OP to set a firm boundary: the mother will not be included in wedding photos.
This decision has caused the fiancé to accuse the OP of escalating the situation, leaving the OP questioning if this boundary is too harsh or necessary.

The OP is in a difficult emotional position, feeling that setting a clear boundary regarding wedding photos is necessary after sustained disrespect and humiliation from the fiancé's mother regarding the prenuptial agreement.
The central conflict lies between the OP's need to protect their dignity and peace for the wedding, and the fiancé's desire to maintain family harmony by avoiding confrontation with his mother.
The debate centers on whether excluding the mother from wedding photos is a justified act of self-respect following months of h***ssment, or if it is an overreaction that unnecessarily damages relationships and escalates pre-wedding tension.
Is the OP justified in enforcing this boundary, or should they prioritize minimizing conflict to ensure family attendance at the wedding?
