Conversations with MIL 1

Last night, I felt so bad. I felt like I was cornered! I think I literally was. I never thought I'd feel this way but I did.

The scenario: Fiance and I were in his room - MIL enters.

future MIL: May ting-hun pa ba kayo? (Are you going to have a formal engagement?) Kasi alam ko ayaw na ni Fiance.

Me: I want it to be really simple, wala ng ceremonies

future MIL: Kasi alam ko ayaw ni Fiance, pero ako - anything goes!

Fiance: I don't like a ting-hun

Me: Ayaw ko lang yung ceremonies like walking backwards and punta pa sa bahay.

future MIL: So that means walang ting-hun! Kasi wala ng punta punta sa bahay pa..

Me: I don't know..

MIL: Hindi, wala ng tinghun kasi sabi mo wala ng punta sa house eh..

I fell silent and I think my expression dropped. Literally. I felt like I was being pressured to agree on their decision. I hate what I felt.

future MIL left the room. I think Fiance saw me - I knew I looked stressed. It was really nice though, because he sat beside me and said 'Whatever you want, we'll do it' then kissed my forehead.

At least he was nice enough to respect what I wanted.

XOXO
Miss B.
