After Her Sister Falsely Accused Her Fiancé And Never Apologized, She Allowed Her Fiancé To Fat Shame Her Sister At A Family Get Together
Late last year, this 27-year-old woman accidentally slipped on a patch of ice and wound up with a massive bruise ranging from her shoulder all the way down to her hip.
And after the accident, her 30-year-old fiancé was extremely caring– not letting her lift a finger while she was recovering.
During the recovery process, her 30-year-old sister visited her home, too, and took notice of how attentive her fiancé had been. He was constantly checking to see if she was okay, bringing her food, and giving her massages.
At the time, her sister then made a remark about how her fiancé was likely just acting out of guilt. But, at the moment, her mind glazed over the comment and didn’t even process what her sister had said.
So, it was not until she saw her sister next at her family’s Christmas party that the truth came out. While at the party, she and her fiancé decided to announce their engagement. That same day, her sister apparently began talking to everyone about the bruise and strongly insinuated that her fiancé was being abusive.
So, a few days after the party, her mom and aunt went over to her house and claimed to be worried about her. After they filled her in on what her sister had claimed, though, she was shell-shocked.
She immediately tried to explain what had really happened. But nothing she said got through, and her mom and aunt were still skeptical. Then, they even suggested that she go stay with her mom!
She just refused, though, and wound up calling her fiancé– who went straight home. And once he arrived, her fiancé was seriously upset.
“But, to his credit, he remained calm and brought out the CCTV footage from the patio where I slipped– which I completely forgot about in my panic,” she recalled.

The footage proved that she had really fallen, and afterward, her mother and aunt were really apologetic. Her fiancé was still pretty hurt by the fact they would ever think he was abusive, though.
Apparently, she has known her fiancé since childhood, and he has been a part of her family since they were teenagers. So, her sister suggesting he was abusive was utterly shocking for him.
Regardless, her sister has still never apologized for making that accusation and maintains that it was only out of concern. Quite frankly, though, she finds that ridiculous.
“I’ve pointed out the lack of logic, seeing as she left me in ‘an abusive situation,’ saying nothing for a month until we announced our engagement,” she explained.
Her family even agrees that her sister should apologize, too. But her sister refuses and just wants to move on from the situation. So, her family has claimed that even though her sister is wrong– and simply too proud to admit that– there is “no use in beating a dead horse.”
For her fiancé, though, it obviously is not that easy. He is not very close to his own family, and the fact he was called an abuser by his soon-to-be in-laws took a serious toll on his mental health.
So, while he still shows up to family gatherings for her sake, her fiancé has been pretty distant from her family ever since the incident with her sister.
For Mother’s Day recently, though, her fiancé did accompany her to her parent’s house to have dinner. And while there, her sister started making more insinuations. But this time, it was about one of their cousins apparently “copying” her sister’s hairstyle from years ago.
No one in her family remembered the hairstyle, though, which caused her sister to get pretty frustrated. Afterward, her fiancé muttered a comment under his breath.
“You know what they say: an elephant never forgets,” her fiancé said, referring to her sister’s weight.
According to her, the room immediately fell silent, and her sister started bawling before running out of the room in tears. Then, her entire family started berating her fiancé while she just sat there and sipped on her wine.
Her mom noticed that she didn’t jump into the conversation, either, and asked if she actually condoned what her fiancé said. So, she decided to share her two cents.
“While I think it was a low blow, I’ll never police anything he says to her until she does the bare minimum in damage control by apologizing for calling him an abuser,” she said.
Her mom didn’t agree with that, though, and just wound up claiming to be really disappointed in her for allowing her fiancé to fat-shame her sister. Still, she simply responded, “No use beating a dead horse.”
Regardless, her mom ultimately texted her about the situation after dinner.
“Saying she thought we were better than that, and while my fiancé has been ‘vindicated,’ my sister’s weight isn’t something that can be quickly fixed in the same way the accusations she made were,” she vented.
While she does agree with her mom to some extent, though, she still believes her fiancé has a right to be petty after what happened. Nonetheless, with her family still angry, she’s been left wondering whether allowing her fiancé to fat-shame her sister was a really jerky thing to do.
When her sister suggested her fiancé was abusive, wasn’t that a very serious accusation? If there was clear video evidence disproving her sister’s claims, shouldn’t her sister have apologized? Can you understand why her fiancé was still upset? Regardless, was his “low blow” warranted, or did it go over the line?
