why is my fiancé insisting his ex-wife come to our wedding?

I’m in a tough spot with my fiancé. We’re planning our wedding, and out of nowhere, he insists his ex-wife be invited. I’ve been open with him about how uncomfortable it makes me, especially since she’ll only know his family. To make it even more complicated, they divorced because she cheated on him, and he’s shared how controlling and jealous she was during their marriage. Last night, I told him how I felt, and he completely flipped, raising his voice and saying, "My son’s mother is coming to the wedding!" It feels like he’s more worried about keeping the peace with her than considering my feelings. He’s worried if he doesn't invite her, she’ll make his life miserable. I can’t help but feel like he’s prioritizing her over me. Am I being unreasonable for wanting a wedding day where I don’t have to deal with this? I’m starting to feel like I need to process my own feelings about this situation. #weddingdrama #relationshipboundaries #fianceissues

Marriage is a matter between two people, but my mother-in-law said that I have to pay for the wedding expenses.

So here I am, standing in my future in-laws' palatial living room (seriously, my entire childhood home could fit in their foyer), and I’m being told that my family should foot the entire wedding bill. Meanwhile, I’ve been the one supporting their son—my fiancé—through career changes, layoffs, and life’s curveballs. I own our house, I pay most of the bills, and I’ve probably spent more on him than they ever have in the last few years. But because of some ancient tradition, they think they’re off the hook? It’s wild to me that they paid $50k for his sister’s wedding but can’t spare a dime for ours, especially when his mom keeps suggesting venues that cost more than my car. I’m not asking for a handout—just a little fairness. Is it too much to expect a bit of help when I’ve already invested so much in their son’s future? Or am I just being entitled? How would you handle this old-school stubbornness? 😤💸 #WeddingDrama #FinancialFairness #FamilyConflict #RomanticRelationships
