She Freaked Out On Her Fiancé’s Family At A Dinner And She’s Considering Canceling Their Wedding
A woman first was introduced to her now fiancé 5 years ago. Back then, she told her friend and coworker named Ashley that if her boyfriend had a brother she would love to get hooked up with him.
Ashley’s boyfriend Chris was so lovely, and she only meant it as a joke if Chris had a brother, but Chris did have a brother…named Tony.
So, Ashley arranged for her to meet Chris’s brother Tony and the rest is history, as she is currently engaged to Tony.
4 years ago, she and Tony welcomed their son into the world, and since then, she has given up her job to stay home with their son.
“I am a SAHM, and we are fairly comfortable, not a lot of extra but things are pretty steady, which I am happy about,” she explained.
“The issue is, is ALL I DO is take care of the house and our son. There is no me time, no us time, just all the mom stuff.”
Ashley and Chris are married, and they both work really good jobs and don’t have any children. In comparison to her and Tony, Ashley and Chris have what seems to be nearly unlimited money and time to do what they want.
“They are always getting eachother random gifts, spending money, going on fancy dates or trips, that of course we hear all about,” she said.
“And over the years I have gotten tired of hearing about it as they seem to enjoy flaunting it.”

The most recent instance where this happened was during Christmas. She questioned Chris about what he planned to buy Ashley for Christmas, and he replied that there really isn’t anything left to get her since she doesn’t want anything.
Ashley and Chris just have the money to buy whatever they want or whatever the other person wants so holiday gifts are pointless to them.
Fast forward to several evenings ago, she went to dinner with Tony, Ashley, Chris, and the in-laws (Chris and Tony’s family).
Chris and Tony’s parents were footing the bill for the family dinner, which also included Chris and Tony’s sister named Sarah and her fiancé Mark, along with Mark’s mom and dad.
Chris and Tony’s parents are exceptionally wealthy, though Tony is viewed by the family as incredibly disappointing for not being on their level.
Chris and Tony’s parents do pitch in to pay for anything they do together as a family, like lavish dinners, though they refused to help her and Tony out financially despite the fact that they help their other children.
In Tony’s past, he had some kind of a problem which is why his parents absolutely won’t give them money.
Anyway, at their family dinner that evening, Chris and Tony’s dad wanted to know if Ashley got to do anything exciting to celebrate her recent birthday.
“They jump right in to tell everyone about how he took(flew) her to Vegas to see some show she wanted to see, got an expensive hotel, went to multiple expensive restaurants and then lost a bunch of money gambling,” she continued.
“As this is happening I am staring at my $85 dinner, that honestly I would rather have the money for, at my fiancé’s expensive dinner, that I would rather have the money for and just feeling really low.”

When Chris and Tony’s dad then asked Chris how much he spent on the trip, Chris mentioned it cost him approximately $4,000 and their dad laughed before raising up his glass.
“I just snapped,” she admitted. “I said “do we always have to sit around and watch you all flash your money and perfect lives in our face constantly?”
“I am sure it’s super easy to throw a bunch of money into all this stuff when you have litterally no responsibility to anyone else. Maybe we could live like that too if we didnt have to worry about saving for college and moving into better school districts!”
Well, the remainder of the evening was weird after that, and she does think that her behavior that night wasn’t exactly the best, though she wants to no longer feel like she’s less than Tony’s family.
At the end of the night, Tony’s mom and dad told him that they were not happy with what she had said at dinner.
Tony’s parents went on to insist that Ashley and Chris work extremely hard to have all of the things that they do.
In the end, Tony’s parents then made it clear that she doesn’t have a right to take her feelings out on Ashley and Chris for not being happy with her own life and choices.
After overhearing this conversation that Tony’s parents had with him, she’s pretty convinced that she doesn’t want to “marry into” Tony’s family at all.
“I found out they also think that my fiance gave me the impression he was financially better off than he was(somewhat true), I tried to baby trap him(not true), and now I am mad to find out he lied and I am upset about that, but that is my problem and no one else’s,” she concluded.
She really believes it might be best to call off their wedding. You can read the original post on Reddit here.
