Unpopular opinion but YTA. Dude. Classic mistake. You pinned it on your fiancée. Even though it’s true that it was because SHE needed to leave, ALWAYS put the blame on yourself when around your family. You already knew that their relationship is strained, and yet even when you kinda lied about the real reason for leaving, you still weren’t kind enough to at least lie that YOU needed to go, so your family wouldn’t have any more fuel against her. YTA. But more like a bone-headed, clueless AH, not a malicious one.
