A lot of affluent people have unhappy relationships with other people. When you get wealthy enough, the dynamics of relationships tend to shift and that's the nature of things.

When you become wealthy, people who previously had little interest in you will suddenly want to be your friends. People will come to you for assistance, but they will never return the favor.

Additionally, some people you were genuinely friends with prior to becoming wealthy will begin to ask for your assistance as though they had a right to it. People will frequently seem to care more about your money than they do about you, and conversations will frequently feel one-sided.

You won't know who to truly put your trust in. Are they just being kind to you in order to take a cut of your money or are they sincere friends?

The OP of today's story met his fiance on a trip he took to Mexico. They hit it off really quick and decided to visit OP's family for Christmas since his fiance has never physically met them.

OP's fiancé went all out on Christmas gifts for everyone as a celebration of their upcoming nuptials. OP's family didn't know he had done this, only for him to hear them making not-so-subtle comments about all the nice things they wanted for Christmas.

It got to the point where the OP shouted at them, saying that it was rude of them to expect someone they just met to drop so much money on them.

Here's the story:

OP's family wasn't aware what was in store for them

The OP hasn't responded to them

OP has offered the following explanation for why they think they might be the AH:

I feel like I'm the AH for ruining Christmas for the youngest kids who aren't old enough to understand about the situation.

And the comments roll in...

The pressure is coming

How these jokes made his fiance feel

A very low contact relationship

The OP reveals how his family knew about the fiance's wealth

Social media. Since it was practically the only way for me to connect with my friends & family for 2+ years, we posted a lot to social media. Nothing was meant to be flashy, just what we thought was innocent milestones of our life. But it's not hard to notice the nice house in the backdrop, or the closet full of designer clothes, or a garage with expensive cars. And of course I posted my engagement watch on there. Yes, I got a watch instead of ring. Don't hate on me for that. Man knows I'm not a ring person.

Greed is a rainbow

No contact is the way to go

One more chance of behaving themselves

Living your best life

One would need to get techniques in order to identify sincere friendships and relationships. Believe me, you don't want to live your life harboring misgivings toward everyone, as that will just make your pain worse.

OP's fiance tried to do something nice for the people in his family, and they acted all entitled and selfishly. They got what was coming to them, and the OP was declared, not the AH.
