Re: Overwhelmed
Has it occurred to you that maybe his family is “much much better off” b/c they’re tight/careful with the money they earn and don’t go spending thousands of dollars on clothes that will be worn once…maybe twice in your life? If your parents are choosing to spend tons of money on clothes for your fiance/in-laws…then that’s their decision. This doesn’t mean that his parents are somehow obligated to also spend similar amounts on you/your family.
Your fiancé should not have said “ok” to the budget since he’s not paying for any of it. While I understand that you’re young and inexperienced…your mom should have had a direct discussion with his mother b/c she knew the ultimately, the money is coming from his parents…not him.
