TGIS: Thank God It's Schadenfreude! (305)

This week's joy in the misfortune of others comes courtesy of the Asbury Park Press (from Thursday, January 27; link good at time of posting):

An Italian bride has asked her new hubby for a separation after he brought his mother with them on their honeymoon.

The woman, identified as Marianna C. of Rome, filed a petition Wednesday saying the problem began when her mother-in-law showed up at the airport, passport in hand, just as the couple was set to fly to Paris, ANSA reports.

....

After the honeymoon, the 36-year-old bride said her mother-in-law also spent the Christmas holidays with them, which prompted her to drive back to her family in Naples since her husband’s “excessive ties” to Mamma “made it impossible to establish a healthy conjugal relationship.”
