Emma\u2019s heart shattered when her fianc\u00e9 called off the wedding after his mother forbade him from marrying her. Brutally insulted and thrown out of their house, Emma soon turned the tables, showing those who would humiliate her what she was truly made of.<\/p>\n

Hey everyone, Emma here! They say heartbreak halves when shared. So here I am to share my story with the world\u2026<\/p>\n

It breaks my heart to type this, but you won\u2019t believe how much influence moms can have on their babies! Even when that baby is 32 and weighs 200 pounds.<\/p>\n

Well, I\u2019m here to tell you how much you still mean to your child.<\/p>\n

So, here\u2019s what happened a few weeks back: my boyfriend, aka soulmate, aka my \u201cforever happy place\u201d (or so I thought), my Jared, proposed to me five months after our first date. It was such a dreamy proposal, you know.<\/p>\n

With all the flowers, candle-lit dinner at our favorite seaside resort, and his dramatic getting down on one knee. It was the cutest thing that ever happened to me, and I cried a big \u201cYES!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cEmma, this is just the beginning of our forever,\u201d he had whispered, making me blush like a teenager.<\/p>\n

But little did I know that \u201cforever\u201d had a completely different plan for us.<\/p>\n

Jared and I were planning to get married soon. So, he told me he would love to take me to his hometown and introduce me to his parents, telling me they would just love me.<\/p>\n

Although I was nervous, likely pre-wedding jitters because I had never met Jared\u2019s parents before and had only seen them in the family photos on his phone. So I was kind of anxious and afraid.<\/p>\n

The day arrived when we were supposed to meet them, and Jared drove me to his hometown some hundreds of miles away.<\/p>\n

Let me tell you, I was as nervous as a deer caught in headlights as soon as he said, \u201cDarling, that\u2019s my home. C\u2019mon, let\u2019s go inside and meet my parents.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDo you think they\u2019ll like me?\u201d I asked, biting my lip.<\/p>\n

\u201cOf course, they will,\u201d Jared smiled, squeezing my hand. \u201cThey\u2019ll love you.\u201d<\/p>\n

I walked beside Jared as he approached the door and entered, smiling and greeting his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Stewart.<\/p>\n

My already fragile smile started shrinking when I saw the frown on Jared\u2019s mother\u2019s face. Let me tell you, the meeting was a complete disaster.<\/p>\n

The first thing his mom said smirking when she saw me was, \u201cWhy isn\u2019t she blonde? You know I wanted your wife to be blonde!\u201d<\/p>\n

My heart started to race. Can you imagine what went through me at this point when his mother said something awful like this right in my face?<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re wondering if that was it, then spoiler alert: It only got worse from there.<\/p>\n

\u201cMom, please,\u201d Jared interjected, but she waved him off, saying, \u201cNo, Jared, this is important.\u201d<\/p>\n

Next up, I joined Jared and his family for dinner, and I was a bundle of nerves. His mom sat across from me, and I swear she could\u2019ve swallowed me whole with her eyes.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s when she said, \u201cWhy aren\u2019t you eating anything?\u201d I nimbly took some salad, but Jared\u2019s mother asked me why I was not eating the pork roast.<\/p>\n

To which I said, \u201cI\u2019m sorry, Mrs. Stewart. But I haven\u2019t eaten pork before and I don\u2019t like it.\u201d<\/p>\n

That was it. Jared\u2019s mother launched into lecturing how everyone in their family eats the meat all the time and ironically told me, \u201cI\u2019m not quite sure you can adjust to our traditions, girl.\u201d<\/p>\n

With defeated eyes, I looked at Jared, but he was busy smiling and enjoying his dinner. Despite being surrounded by so many people that day, I was feeling so lonely and left out.<\/p>\n

\u201cTell me about yourself, Emma,\u201d Jared\u2019s mother then interrupted again, her tone less than inviting.<\/p>\n

\u201cWell,\u201d I started, trying to keep my voice steady, \u201cI graduated with a degree in Fine Arts. I\u2019ve always loved painting and sculpture. My dream is to open an art studio in New York.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mrs. Stewart\u2019s lips curled into a smirk. \u201cAn art studio? Isn\u2019t that cute? Just like a little girl playing with her dollhouse.\u201d<\/p>\n

I felt my cheeks start to burn. \u201cIt\u2019s more than that to me. It\u2019s my passion,\u201d I stood my ground with a polite smile.<\/p>\n

\u201cOh, I\u2019m sure it is,\u201d she said, her voice dripping with sarcasm. \u201cBut those are just SILLY THINGS to do in life. Jared, on the other hand, is set to take over his father\u2019s multi-million dollar business. He needs a wife with equal ambitions, not childish dreams.\u201d<\/p>\n

My heart sank as Jared remained silent, staring at his plate.<\/p>\n

I was so furious but I kept calm. How could she even say that to me? And Jared? He was just smiling\u2026 didn\u2019t say a word to defend me.<\/p>\n

So the dinner was finally over and I got up to leave for the guestroom when I heard his mother call out to me: \u201cWait up, girl? Where do you think you\u2019re going? As a rule, women in this house wash up after the men. Didn\u2019t your parents teach you any manners?\u201d<\/p>\n

I clenched my teeth, holding back my anger. That\u2019s it. She had no right to drag my parents into this. I politely told her not to talk about my family.<\/p>\n

It hit her ego and she started arguing with me, saying things like, \u201cI DEFINITELY can\u2019t picture you as my son\u2019s wife. You certainly don\u2019t know our traditions and I don\u2019t want such a misfit for a bride.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tears welled up in my eyes and I lost it completely when she turned to her precious son and declared, \u201cJARED, I FORBID YOU TO MARRY HER!\u201d<\/p>\n

And you know what he said? \u201cSorry, Emma, but you should leave! You can\u2019t talk to my mom like that. Please leave!\u201d<\/p>\n

I stared at him, my heart breaking. \u201cAre you serious, Jared? After everything we\u2019ve been through?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cJust go, Emma,\u201d he said, looking away.<\/p>\n

Fury replaced my tears. \u201cFine,\u201d I yelled, wiping my eyes. \u201cBut know this: If you can\u2019t stand up for me now, imagine how she\u2019d have treated me as your wife! Good luck with your new life, under your mama\u2019s thumb.\u201d<\/p>\n

With that, I walked out, humiliated and betrayed. Jared didn\u2019t come for me. He did nothing. And he said he loved me? Really?<\/p>\n

Jared\u2019s and his mother\u2019s last words kept echoing in my mind as I hailed a cab to my hotel.<\/p>\n

They wanted to see what I was capable of. Well, they got what they deserved because the next moment, I was in my room, determined I wouldn\u2019t let Jared and his mother get away with their behavior.<\/p>\n

\u201cTomorrow\u2019s a new day,\u201d I whispered to myself, feeling a spark of determination.<\/p>\n

So the very next morning, I returned to Jared\u2019s house with a bouquet of daisies and pecan pie because Jared once told me his mother was allergic to pollen and pecan nuts.<\/p>\n

I saw Jared\u2019s mother in the garden and approached her with the flowers and a slice of pecan pie. As soon as she saw me and the things I\u2019d brought for her \u201cwith love,\u201d she started barking, \u201cYOU?? What are you doing here? Have you come to kill me with these things, girl?\u201d<\/p>\n

I pretended to be sad and said, \u201cOh, Mrs. Stewart, why do you hate me so much? I\u2019ve come to extend an olive branch and apologize for yesterday. I promise to start eating pork, even if I don\u2019t like it\u2026 and I promise I to be a good wife to your son and a good daughter-in-law to you.
\n I\u2019m even ready to do the dishes after all the men in your house eat. I\u2019m ready to do anything to marry your son. Please don\u2019t call off the wedding.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAre you mocking me?\u201d she hissed, her eyes wide with rage.<\/p>\n

Soon, Jared, his father, and some of his relatives flocked around us. With a sad face, I turned to Jared and said, \u201cJared, honey, I love you. You know that. Please don\u2019t call off the wedding.\u201d<\/p>\n

He simply shrugged it off, saying, \u201cEmma, I can\u2019t marry you. Get out of here.\u201d<\/p>\n

His mother immediately jumped in, saying, \u201cOh, don\u2019t you come here dreaming about the wedding that\u2019s NEVER gonna happen, girl. You don\u2019t know the first thing about our traditions and I won\u2019t allow my son to marry an immigrant like you trying to get hold of our money by honey-trapping my innocent son.\u201d<\/p>\n

This was it, my moment of revenge. My demeanor completely changed, and I started laughing. Jared, his mom, and everyone were flabbergasted when I took out my phone with the voice recorder on.<\/p>\n

\u201cSeems you all forgot,\u201d I chuckled, \u201cbut everything you just spewed is right here! Let\u2019s see how traditional you look on the news!\u201d<\/p>\n

With a triumphant grin, I turned on my heel and stormed away to my cab waiting outside as Jared and his mother came running behind me like puppies, begging me to stop. But it was too late!<\/p>\n

Jared and his family now had long and serious conversations with my lawyer about everything his mother said to me. Did they think I was a weakling who would simply put up with their insults and let it slide? NOT ME!<\/p>\n

What did Jared\u2019s mother say? I was a gold-digger wanting their money, right? She was wrong! But now, that\u2019s exactly what will happen when my lawyer sends them a legal notice.<\/p>\n

You see, sometimes, you have to give as good as you get. Jared has been calling me, apologizing profusely, and begging me to drop the legal action. And guess what? He even admitted his mother was wrong and tried to justify his actions.<\/p>\n

Sorry, Jared! It\u2019s too late! I won\u2019t be swayed. That\u2019s it, people! I\u2019m still dealing with the breakup and canceled wedding, but I\u2019m glad I showed them not to mess with me. Even better? I dodged a bullet by not marrying a man who can\u2019t stand up for his lady.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
