your mother might forget your mistakes since she is your mother but others don’t owe you that and you can’t blame them if they do hold it against you. This is a new relationship so try not to let these things happen otherwise you will have created an negative image of yourself in your MIL’s eyes without even meaning to.

^ Agreed. In addition, this “incident” also gives you an idea into your future MIL’s personality…ie. she’s sensitive, and if she feels hurt/disrespected by your behavior…she WILL mention it to your fiance/future husband. And it will make your fiance/future husband feel that he’s “stuck” between you and his mother (whether you’re “right” or his mother is “right” is besides the point). I assure you he will not have an argument with his mother when she’s telling him that she feels hurt or disrespected…BUT it will cause tension b/t you and him.

All this means you need to be extra cautious when dealing with her (especially before marriage).
