A WOMAN has revealed that her mother-in-law described her fashion choices as those of a “prostitute”.

“She went behind my back to tell my partner that I had dressed inappropriately on several occasions, that they were too embarrassed to look at me, that I looked like a prostitute and that he should monitor and control my clothing choices more. ”

“I ended up confronting her when he showed me her messages, trying to be polite and understanding her beliefs and views, but that I would not be willing to choose a wedding dress based entirely on her views.”

For Anxiety Bunni, it’s always been “my body, my choice” — a view her fiancé also endorsed.

It seems that conversation didn’t go too well, however, as the mother-in-law reiterated her opinion, even going so far as to claim that her clothing choices made the rest “uncomfortable.”

“She didn’t apologize for the pain she caused and was angry with my partner for sharing her messages about me,” the Redditor added, saying she decided to be with her “much more supportive “ to shop. ‘Mummy.

Someone else agreed, urging Anxiety Bunni to reflect on the current relationship: “Decide if you want to marry into this family [sic]. This lady will end up being your enemy.”

“It’s your wedding!” reminded one reader.
