Who was right or wrong in this argument?

My fiance and I argued over details of our wedding. My mom gave her opinion but neither of us agreed with her.
The argument with my fiance and I got heated...and instead of him normally doing some of the niceties he typically does (i.e., open the door for my mom, etc.), he just jumped in the car.

Now my mother wants him to apologize to her.....
I feel like the argument wasn't with her so no need for him to say anything to her.

Who is right in this argument?
Additional Details
My mom and I are arguing now...because she feels he did her wrong.

Truthfully, it sounds like there are some thin-skinned people here. You should understand that planning a wedding is stressful, that you and your fiance are not going to agree on everything (it's his wedding too, so you need to compromise), and that you can disagree with your mother, but you can do it kindly. If your mother is paying for the wedding, you should make sure you are taking into consideration her budget for the affair, and if she is not, you should still take into consideration that this is her little girl getting married (regardless of your age) and this is her dream, too. You may be the star, but she is in a supporting role here and should be respected as such. The question you need to ask yourself is, "Is it more important to be right...or is it more important to be happy." Best wishes to all of you!

Mom should not be butting in already. Think of how it will be when you are married. Then they (mother-in-laws) really turn into know-it-alls.

Your mother is being childish. Regardless what you are arguing about he is not required to do things he would do when he was in an okay mood. I think she needs to understand he may be a gentleman but not to expect it. He does not need to say sorry to your mom.

Without apologizing he can say, I am so sorry that you took my actions as rude, they were a reaction to a conversation I was having with my fiance and I did not mean to offend you

Start right now and tell your mom she can not interfere in your life with your new husband to be or it will become a life long problem

What argument?

The one between you and your fiance over wedding details? IF you don't tell us what you're arguing about, how are we supposed to know who's right or wrong?

If this is about your mom..you must have left something out. She volunteered her opinion, which you both disagreed with. He doesn't need to apologise for that. Then, he got into the car without opening the door for her? Sorry - I don't believe that warrants an apology either.

I don't know about the jumping in the car thing, but I will say that I know, as a man, that in any dispute over wedding details, the bride is ALWAYS right!

You are.

"I feel like the argument wasn't with her so no need for him to say anything to her."

That line right there says it all.

He is supposed to apologize to your mom for an argument between the 2 of you? Nope, your right on this one.


raymond m
you are right.

He didn't do her wrong necessarily.

It's polite and mannerly for a man to open a door for any woman who's coming in behind him but he's not required to. Your boyfriend should apologize to you, if he didn't open your door out of anger, but he's not required to open the door for your mother.

I do think that if he normally does it, he can apologize for taking his anger out on her when she had nothing to do with why he was upset and let her know that he recognize that she had nothing to do with the argument. The apology would cover everything he did wrong out of anger, like raising his voice or using profanity or just being inconsiderate. I think when people act other than what they normally do, they should explain their actions to their loved ones.

Your mom needs to get a life (and a new man if your dad isn't covering the door thing, not your fiance's job)

What details? Thought we missed that did we?

Well, without knowing the actual details, hard to tell. Also, let your fiance cool down, then everyone should apologize to everyone.


Married and so in love

Your mother is just looking out for whats best for you and if he apologizes to her then she will see that he is sincere about the love he has for you and respects your family as well. It doesn't sound like that big of deal but if you two are fighting "heated" like this before you're even married, whats next? I don't know who was right or wrong but he needs to respect your mother's feelings because soon she will be his mother-in-law and you shouldn't have to choose between the two.

the bride is ALWAYS right and no he shouldn't apologize
