AITA for Refusing to Let My Husband Parents Join Our Honeymoon? My (28F) fiancé (27M) and I met during our sophomore year of college and started dating after we graduated. We’ve been together for two years. My fiancé wasn’t close to his family growing up. In the time we’ve been dating, I’ve only met his parents three times. This doesn’t bother me because he has a lot of resentment from his upbringing and doesn’t enjoy spending time with them. While they took care of his basic needs, there was little emotional support.
A few months ago, my fiancé was given a terminal diagnosis with a two-year life expectancy. Since treatments aren’t an option, we’re trying to live life to the fullest. After learning about his illness, he and his family started seeing each other more often.
His very wealthy family gifted us our honeymoon as a wedding present. My fiancé and I chose Puerto Vallarta for a relaxing resort vacation and snorkeling, a final special trip on our bucket list.
However, his parents booked the trip dates without asking us, choosing a time that included his birthday. They then announced they wanted to spend his last birthday with him and would be joining us, along with his siblings, who also got rooms at the resort.
While I’m grateful for their generous gift, I’m annoyed that they planned it during our honeymoon to join us. I understand they want to spend time with him because he’s sick, and my fiancé doesn’t want to argue during his final time, which I get.
But I wish they’d planned a separate trip for the family instead of joining our honeymoon, a time we could have spent alone, which is rare these days with hospital visits, seeing friends, and checking off his bucket list. Money isn’t an issue for them, so they could have easily planned another trip, but they chose his birthday as an excuse to join.
When they told us they were coming, I said it was strange. Now they’re mad at me for not understanding how important his birthday is to them. The whole family thinks I’m wrong for being upset. His parents assured me we’d barely see them, but with rooms right next to each other at the same resort, that’s unlikely. So, AITA for telling my in-laws it’s weird they’re coming on our honeymoon?
ETA: Our honeymoon is delayed. Our wedding is in February. We originally asked for a honeymoon a month later, in March. They scheduled it for June so his birthday would fall during it. We plan to take a separate trip, though we can’t afford much or take much time off work.
