After our wedding, my mother-in-law took a box containing envelopes and a few other gifts we had received, even though we hadn’t agreed to this.
Several days later, when we were relaxing, I suggested to my husband that he go and retrieve it from her. He hesitated, saying he felt embarrassed to ask.
Embarrassed?! Do I really need to ask for my own wedding gifts?! I called her to inquire, and she boldly insisted that I was ignorant and that she had every right to the money we were given.
Let me clarify, my husband and I had already paid for the wedding upfront. Somehow, after two weeks, my husband managed to retrieve everything. But I’m still in disbelief, even after a long time has passed since then!
