ESH except your fiance and her parents. You let that stuff go on far too long. You knew it bothered her–did you ever tell them to knock it off? If you’d put a stop to it years ago, they wouldn’t have acted like absolute nobs to your future in-laws. That is, your future in-laws if you’re still getting married. She might be having second thoughts, and I wouldn’t blame her.
“YTA-Your silence has told them their behavior is ok.”
