Hey everyone
32M – Me 30F – Fiance
We have been together for just over 3 1/2 years now. Got married last month.
When I got engaged, I expressed my feelings about having an expensive wedding with my fiance. I did not want to. I didn't want to drain my savings that I had worked so hard for. My goal was to buy us a house
Her parents asked for a phone call. Her dad convinced me to pay for the wedding and he would pay me back.
Fast forward to now – wedding happened and he stiffed me.
I want to completely cut her parents out of my life. I feel betrayed, stupid, gullible, ect. I spent $60,000 giving my fiance her dream wedding because I was under the assumption I would be paid back. I even gave them updates throughout the engagement of how much we were spending on wedding things.
Now I cannot buy us a house and there is a lot of tension.
I feel like they have completely screwed us over in regards to starting our life. My fiance lost her job in January and has been out of work. So this hurts especially bad.
Now I have debt instead of savings.
What should I do? Am I being too harsh when I say I want nothing to do with her parents ever again? Also, this wasn't just a small amount of money.
tl:dr – wifes parents said they would reimburse me for our entire wedding. I spent 60k and am now left in debt.
