AITA? I'm 45, and my mother disowned me because I got married. My wife and I are heartbroken over it. But I really can't say whether or not I've been disowned because my mother refuses to talk to me. My Aunt "Doris" hasn't talked to me since my mother's last trip out of state to visit with her last year, either.
My mother's been married 5 times and had at least 2 "common law" relationships. Most of them by her own 45th birthday.
My only suspicion that the catalyst for my mom cutting me out of her life is that I got married is because the night I told my mother, the last thing she said to me was: "You're a sneaky little bastard." My mother and I haven't spoken since, as she refuses to talk to me. She won't even acknowledge me at church.
I really don't think I did anything wrong. My wife is a woman of high moral character, and we love each other very much. However it seems to have cost me my family; or did my mother just make a very selfish decision?

Query: Why would she even move in? That seems rather quick to be considering. You just got married, and now your mother wants to move in with you? Also-she has the role of a guest in your home-not as a homeowner or HOH! She is your mother, not your spouse. If she is making these kind of ultimatums already, then perhaps the step back in the relationship with her is warranted...

This seems very very strange. Was your mother unhappy about the pairing beforehand? It doesn't seem like your union itself was the cause of this and anyways you aren't the a*****e here, you married someone you love and you deserve that, but she seems to have a different problem.

My mother didn't mention or show any signs of jealousy (?) of my wife; she seemed to be concerned primarily with what role she would have in my house, were she to move in. She wouldn't agree to a lease, even as just a formality for identification purposes only. She made it very clear that she did not want to "share the kitchen". Thank you for your support.
