  • 🗣️ OP's family calls her unreasonable and disrespectful for this stance, while commenters support her, noting the racist undertones and the hypocrisy of the family's reaction.

  • 💍 OP's 33-year-old fiancée wants to be a stay-at-home wife, despite both earning good incomes and being child-free.
