“I Don’t Want Any Other Daughter-in-Law, So Do As You Please!” – A British Mother’s Ultimatum to Her Son
Mark had just finished university and decided it was the perfect time to marry his first girlfriend from sixth form, Mary! Mary was not only pretty, but also kind and intelligent. At that time, she was writing her Master’s dissertation. The young couple agreed to get married as soon as she graduated.
Mark decided to tell his mum about the wedding, but she didn’t bring good news. His mother told him that he must marry Amanda from next door—or no one at all. Then she asked him what mattered more: his career or his love life. She dreamed of her son becoming a successful man.
Amanda came from a wealthy family and had fancied Mark for ages, but Mark had eyes only for Mary—who was from a much less respected family. Mary’s mother had a questionable reputation… What would the neighbours say?
“I don’t want any other daughter-in-law, so do as you please!” she said.
Mark tried to persuade his mother for a long time, but she was adamant, eventually telling him that she’d never forgive him if he married Mary. Mark lost his courage. He dated Mary for another six months, but their relationship slowly faded away.
He eventually married Amanda. She genuinely loved him, but they decided against a wedding reception—Mark didn’t want Mary to see the wedding photos. Amanda’s family was wealthy, so Mark moved into their grand house. Her parents even helped him climb the career ladder. But he was never happy.
Mark didn’t want children. When Amanda realised she couldn’t convince him, she filed for divorce. By that time, Mark was forty and Amanda was thirty-eight. She later remarried, had a child, and was truly happy.
Mark dreamed of marrying Mary. He tried to find her, but it was as if she had disappeared. Then he learned she was gone. A friend told him that after their breakup, she married the first man she met, who turned out to be violent. He beat her to death.
Afterwards, Mark moved into his parents’ old flat and began drinking himself into oblivion, always staring at a photo of Mary, unable to forgive his mother. I dont want any other daughter-in-law, do as you like! his mother says to her son. James is wrapping
Its a strange thing, looking back and realising how much someones affection can come with conditions.

On the Eve of His Wedding, Arthur Suspected Martha of Betrayal. Even Though She Swore She Was Faithful, He Refused to Listen. But Twenty Years On, He Met Her Son—His Exact Double …
Their Love Was the Stuff of Novels: Passionate, Unique, and Intense. Many Envied Their Romance and Tried to Cause Trouble. The Young Couple Were Preparing for a Wedding That, Tragically, Never Happened.
The Night Before Their Wedding, Martha Told Her Beloved She Was Expecting His Child. But Instead of Joy, She Was Met with Anger and Frustration. Arthur Accused Her of Infidelity. He Repeated Over and Over She Couldn’t Possibly Be Pregnant So Soon. He Told Her to Her Face He Didn’t Believe Her. Yet She Gave Birth to That Child.
Many of His Friends Told Him He Was a Fool. Everyone Saw How Much Martha Loved Him. But Arthur Remained Stubborn. The Relationship Fell Apart and the Wedding Was Cancelled. He Suggested an Abortion, but Martha Refused. She Waited Until the Last Moment for Her Beloved’s Apology, but He Never Called.
