When you ask if she’d like to help you with any wedding planning, she responds, “Let’s just wait until it’s a sure thing.” 2. She finds ways to keep mentioning how wonderful your fiance’s ex is doing. 3. At a family dinner, she brings out cake and ice cream galore for dessert, but won't stop talking about how QUICKLY you went for that second slice. 4.
