Her Fiancé Put Her Down At Her Own Party Before Throwing It In Her Face That She Used To Be Homeless
This Sunday, a young woman threw a little barbeque in her backyard to celebrate the promotion she just received at work.
She invited her fiancé’s family members, her friends from work, and some friends that she and her fiancé have.
“I know it might come off as arrogant and trashy to celebrate a promotion but the reason why I held it was because this was one of the first times in life I felt settled and at peace,” she explained.
“I was homeless for a while and had to work really hard and rely on my one kind relative who supported me to get where I am.”
She also wanted this party to serve as a thank you to her friends and her uncle. They were the people who helped her make it through being homeless and lifted her up so she could get to where she is now.
At her party, she was shocked by her fiancé’s behavior in front of his friends. After she put the food out, her fiancé began introducing her to the people he invited to the party, but he was not doing it in a nice way.
Her fiancé was being completely condescending and pointing out that her promotion wasn’t coming with an important increase in salary.
Then, her fiancé boasted about making more than she does, even with her promotion, which is hardly fair.
Her fiancé has been working in his respective industry for far longer than she has been working in hers, so of course, he’s further ahead than her.

If that wasn’t sad enough, her fiancé pointed out to everyone that “the only reason” she even was able to make it was due to her uncle. While this is kind of true, it’s not the whole truth.
The words that left her fiancé’s mouth that really infuriated her though were yet to come.
“The thing that struck me the most was him saying “jokingly” to his friends that he played a huge role in where I am today (even though I literally met him after I landed my job) and that my homelessness was not a big deal because I only spent 6 months being homeless before my relative helped,” she said.
“It just felt humiliating and invalidating, so I also “jokingly” retorted back saying at least ‘I am not a trust fund baby who was handed everything in life and had his parents pay part of his mortgage’, his colleagues laughed at that and I could see my fiancé was not pleased.”
Her retort did get her fiancé to stop publicly putting her down for the remainder of the party. When their guests had gone home for the day, her fiancé accuse her of destroying “his image” for what she said about him.
She stood up for herself and let her fiancé know that she was just copying his own behavior, and she knew he was aware that she was upset, yet he kept putting her down.
Her fiancé is denying that he did anything wrong and he believes she’s just overreacting.
She’s left feeling completely bewildered. She admits it was not nice of her to say what she did to her fiancé, but she only did it to get him to stop making digs at her.
In the moment, she couldn’t figure out another way to get him to lay off, and she felt really embarrassed.
Do you think she did anything wrong here, or is this entirely on her fiancé? You can read the original post on Reddit here.
