So, my fiancé has 3 kids from his former marriage whilst I have 2, from my former marriage as well. I quit my job to start focusing on getting my degree. He’s become the “breadwinner” if you will, although I still contribute with my savings! I also do 80% of child care and chores.
Long story short, he wanted me and my kids to attend Thanksgiving with his family who are located across country, and we were supposed to go yesterday (ahead of time to get a rental place). He booked our tickets and everything but later, before the flight, I found out that he, his kids and myself were put in 1st class whilst my 2 kids (14) & (10) were put in economy.
I was stunned, he acted like it was a no big deal and told us it’s just a few hours and the kids could “just hang in there for a little while.” I asked how he could think this was acceptable, and he got mad and said he’s the one paying for tickets, and then we go by his rules.
I immediately turned around and took the kids and made my way out of the airport. He started following us, screaming at me to go back, but I refused and told him that I no longer felt like spending Thanksgiving with his folks after this. My youngest cried because she never flew without me.
He went with his kids. My kids and I are home. He has not stopped calling trying to berate me and even had his mom text that I needed to get over myself and stop teaching my kids to be spoiled and entitled. She said that the fact that I was “willing” to miss Thanksgiving with the family over something so trivial shows my real character and personality and mindset, or “lack thereof”.
I have not replied, but I feel horrible. Should I have just let it slide and just went?
