AITAH for threatening to ban my mother from my wedding and meeting her grandchild if she doesn't cut off my ex-girlfriend?

He carries the weight of a love lost, the ache of a relationship that ended not with a promise but with heartbreak.

Five years with Adriana unraveled just as he was ready to step into a new chapter, leaving scars deeper than he could show, tangled with family ties and shattered dreams.

But life offered a second chance in the form of Maddy, a bright new beginning born from fate and hope.

Their love blossomed swiftly, healing wounds and building a future filled with promise—soon to be crowned by the arrival of their first son, a symbol of renewal and unwavering commitment.

A Wave of Opinions Just Hit the Thread:

This one sparked a storm. The comments range from brutally honest to surprisingly supportive — and everything in between.

The original poster (OP) feels justified in taking strong action to protect his new family unit from harassment by his ex-girlfriend, Adriana.

This protection extended to setting a firm boundary with his mother by demanding she cease contact with Adriana.

The central conflict arises from the OP prioritizing his immediate family's peace over his mother's established friendship with the ex, leading to an ultimatum that strained the mother-son relationship.

Given the escalating harassment from the ex, including physical actions at a family event, was the OP's ultimatum to his mother—threatening to exclude her from his wedding and future grandchildren if she maintained contact with Adriana—a necessary defense of his boundaries or an overly harsh demand that fractured his existing family ties?
