Your fiancé must ALWAYS put you as his #1 priority. Over his family. He must be the person who confronts his parents and tells them "yes" or "no." He has to be the active person. He has to shield YOU from them.

Please keep this in mind as you move forward.
I couldn't agree more with this. You can't make them love you.
