Help! My Mother-in-Law Wants to Remarry and It’s Causing Drama

Hey everyone,

I really need some advice on a family issue that’s been driving me crazy. So, here’s the deal: my mother-in-law, Cora, recently announced that she wants to get married again. She’s been dating this guy, Bryan, for a while now, and she seems really happy. But when I heard about it, I kind of freaked out and told her she should think twice about it. I might have said something like, “You should know your place,” which, in hindsight, was a terrible thing to say.

Now, my wife Camila is super mad at me, and even my buddy Ethan thinks I overstepped. I didn’t mean to be a jerk; I just thought Cora should be careful. But now it feels like I’ve created a huge mess. Cora is giving me the cold shoulder, and Camila is barely speaking to me. Even Jerry, my usually chill brother-in-law, is acting weird around me.

I get that I messed up, but I don’t know how to fix it. Should I apologize to Cora directly? Or maybe talk to Camila first and get her advice on how to approach her mom? I’m really lost here and could use some guidance on how to make things right.

Thanks in advance for any advice you can give!
