AITA for not wanting to give my MIL my wedding dress?

Weddings are meant to be celebrations of love, family, and unity—but sometimes they expose the deepest cracks in relationships. I thought the hardest battles during my marriage would be the usual ups and downs of life with my husband. Instead, I’ve found myself at war with someone I never expected—my mother-in-law. What started as years of passive-aggressive remarks turned into an explosive showdown over something I hold incredibly close to my heart: my wedding dress.

Time to see how Reddit weighs in on this drama.

At the end of the day, a wedding dress isn’t just fabric—it’s a memory, a dream fulfilled, and a symbol of love and sacrifice. For my MIL to demand it as though she was entitled to it left me stunned, hurt, and questioning everything. Being called ungrateful and even disinvited from her wedding has only made me realize one thing: sometimes, protecting your boundaries means being painted as the villain in someone else’s story. But if refusing to hand over the most sentimental item I own makes me selfish, then maybe I’d rather be selfish than spineless.
