The diocese of Kalamazoo’s very website lists marriages with Catholics and non-Catholics as allowed and gives advice on it…

Ya…I now even more believe that this future MIL is using the Church to control her kids and soon to be in-laws. I’m now more confident she “made” the GF convert for her son.

My advice to your friend’s GF…RUN.

That’s just weird.

Again…I’d RUN.

Her soon to be fiancée can’t run. He’s a blood relation to the woman. They’re both happy, but it seems like whenever the future mil comes up something changes
 
And I’ve been thinking that since they first mentioned she was converting, less than 6 months after they started dating.
 
He just turned 26, has his own house, has his own car. And they’re required to visit her every Sunday.
 
And also her future dil has to ask for a new phone, we’re thinking of selling my bfs old phone and giving it to her.

Well, they are requested and they comply.
Some people don’t mind doing that for family. It’s not something to do when you first get married, it sets a precedent.

Then why does the MIL have anything to do with EITHER of their finances.

How can a 26 year old be required to do anything.
 
And no one notices this. My bf has said something about this, but the other couple it doesn’t bother them. I’m the only who’s noticed it.
 
Because if he doesn’t, he cant get anything legally when she dies.
 
And also because she doesn’t trust the new generation with their own money. And because her future daughter in law has a spending problem, which I think most women would.
 
If a couple starts off going to their in-laws every Sunday for dinner when they are first married, the in-laws will expect it. Forever.

Best to not set a routine like that from the start.
 
Well they’ve been doing that since they first started dating. Just over a year. She gets mad if they come down to my area for one night. They have to ask permission first.
 
Trust me. I’ve learned from My own mistakes and so has my bf and we’re both pretty responsible. My bf compares his friends mom to frances griffin from family guy
