I spent months planning my wedding to Dave, ensuring every detail was perfect. Dave’s 19-year-old son, Benny, seemed supportive,p, helping with setup and errands. On the wedding day, as I walked down the aisle, Benny livestreamed the ceremony, making demeaning jokes about me and the decorations. Shocked, I learned he’d bet with friends to embarrass me, with a group chat full of cruel messages. Humiliated, I confronted Benny, took his phone, and, with Dave, escorted him out. Some family criticized me, calling it immature, but the wedding resumed joyfully.
What to do next:
- Set boundaries with Dave: Discuss Benny’s behavior and establish acceptable conduct.
- Address Benny: Explain the betrayal and its impact to foster understanding.
- Reject guilt: You protected your happiness; stand firm.
- Propose moving forward: Suggest a family discussion for mutual respect.
- Protect your peace: Reflect on family dynamics to ensure your mental health.
