Obviously both got their own issues, but I think it’s another incredibly toxic thing of Mary to expect Brandan to bend over backwards to please her family, and yet she puts absolute 0 effort into her relationship with his.
During the last ep, Brandan even mentioned again hoping to reconnect with his mom, so she should know that this is important to him. If she truly loves him she would at least try. But as soon as they came face to face, she already gave her the stink face and even called her mean/bitch on camera. It’s obvious that she didn’t intend to cave in and be the first to draw the white flag per se, but how hard was it to actually act like she was happy to see her? Or be a tad bit welcoming and cordial.
Another thing that bugged me was (pun intended lol), was when Brandan was fishing out insects in the room for his mom since she is afraid, and Mary was just laughing at her. Fine, she doesn’t like the mom, but Filipinos or even Asians in general are very big on hospitality and overall just making their guests comfortable. Seeing as her family is still traditional, you would think she would hold the same value but we see none of it.
What it reads to me: she doesn’t care about the things and people that are important to Brandan.
We see from the start that she isolates him, even from his own mother and sister. Regardless of the mom’s history, it’s Brandan’s decision if he wants contact with her. She also mentioned during the ep, that if Brandan won’t have her back (regarding the MIL) then she just won’t marry him. I usually would understand obviously wanting your future husband to be on your side all the time but she creates this thing where it’s either her or his mom. She can at least try for him. It’s incredibly isolating to be in a foreign country, with just your partner and her family and gossiping neighbours, and a language you don’t speak. Let the man have at least some type of support system, even from miles away

At least Brandon’s mom smiled at her, and even if she didn’t mean it on the inside was cordial to her. Mary put out zero effort…nothing…just stared at her with hate. But she’s expecting their second child so I don’t know…maybe they came to some understanding, or Brandon just walked away from his mom🤷🙄
Yes, exactly! At least try for your future husband.
I heard the pics were old ones from her first pregnancy tho! And she’s not expecting a second child (thank God lol)
I know that this sub just loves to beat Mary up, but I see no reason in the world why she should show grace to Brandan’s mom - a woman who not only abandoned him for drugs, and is still recovering, but who also rolled up into town with her first comment being "I will never be nice to Mary, nor accept her.’
Mary AND Brandan are both messed up and need help. But in this matter, I do think Mary is in the wrong. She has been isolating him from his family, even from his sister who did nothing wrong. Also, if Brandan has decided to forgive and rebuild a relationship with her, I don’t see why it would hurt for Mary to try and have a cordial relationship with her? The mom’s comment was a result of Mary’s stink face she gave the moment they hugged
So true. She (Mary) wants Brandon to conform to her standards and wants his family out of his life.
I’ve said it before, but Brandon is a fool for taking orders from those village idiots. I can’t imagine myself having to obey Lolo or listen to anything he has to say.
She is a HORRIBLE human
Mary loves Mary - period. she thinks of no one but herself. If I were Brandan’s mother I would have had him drugged and put him on a plane back home with me. This is not going to end well and I hope that crazy lying manipulative Mary does not physically harm him. She is pushing him to the brink.
