My fiance M33 has a best friend (Jason) who is the brutally honest type and the type that tells it how it is. He himself admitted how he isn’t good at keeping his thoughts in my head and losing so much because of it. My fiance says he loves despite his “flawed personality” and expects me to let it go whenever he makes backhanded comments about me and my past as a formee sex worker. He was the first to be invited to the wedding and my fiance promised me to make him “behave”.
My fiance and I found out that we’re expecting. We visited my future in-laws house to make the announcement and Jason was already there. After dinner my fiance and I stood up and made the announcement. Everyone rushed to congratulate us except for Jason who sat still and admittedly kept looking me in the eyes in a strange way. I avoided him but then he got up, hugged my fiance then looked at him and said “3 words man…..paternity test pronto”.
I was completely floored, Everyone was shocked but tried to act normal, probably to defuse the situation but I walked up to Jason and asked him to repeat what he said. He tried to back off because my face was inches away from his. He was like “chill it was just a joke” but I kept asking him to repeat what he said over and over again.
My fiance got in the middle and told me to take a seat and calm down. I went off on Jason, called him an insensitive Jerk and that he was officially uninvited from the wedding after he accused me of being unfaithful. Jason shouted some stuff about how I was being a drama Llama and that he meant no harm then left in a hurry. My fiance and his mom agreed with me being upset but said that uninviting him from the wedding was me going too far. My fiance said that Jason was just joking and I blew up over nothing.
We went home and I kind of broke down in the bathroom without letting my fiance see it because he still thought I was overreacting after I told him how I felt about his friend ruining my joy and humiliating me in front of my in-laws. Am I overreacting and being too emotional here?
