Girl Backs Out Of Vacation After Her Rich BF's Mom Humiliates And Singles Her Out, Wonders If She's The A-Hole
The boyfriend's whole family is a bunch of a-holes.
A free vacation sounds like a dream until one person turns it into a public humiliation. That is exactly what happened to a woman whose boyfriend comes from a wealthy family, and whose future mother-in-law clearly never wanted her there.
The trip was supposed to include his affluent relatives, but things changed fast when the mother singled her out in front of everyone. After that, the woman backed out of the vacation and took the question to Reddit, wondering if she was wrong for refusing to go.
Now the family drama is out in the open, and the trip may be over before it even begins. Read on.

That would have brought even more misery to the poor girl.

No one should be okay with this. You don't treat your significant other this way.

A lot of people saw it as deliberate.
The mother did it intentionally, and OP had the right reaction.

Good thing she broke up with him. He doesn't deserve her.

The things people think they can get away with...

Reddit did not hold back.
Also, this is the same kind of vacation betrayal as a friend who ditched mid-trip and left her to pay the costs.
She doesn't owe that family anything. She should completely cut them off.

Money doesn't buy class, and the mother has none of it.

If it's free, then it cannot possibly be a waste.

Your pride is worth more than anything money can buy.

Some commenters focused on the boyfriend, too.
The whole family sucks. Good riddance.

The fact that the boyfriend was okay with this truly puzzles me.
Reddit
She orchestrated this whole thing and got the outcome she wanted.
Reddit
She doesn't have to bother herself with their drama anymore.
Reddit
If anything, they wasted HER time and money.
Reddit
She is better off. No one needs this kind of negativity.
Reddit
Going through with that trip would have been the real mistake here.
Reddit
That woman was in the right place at the right time.

OP did the right thing by walking away from that toxic situation with an even more toxic family. Thankfully, she ended her relationship with her awful ex-boyfriend, who failed her and men in general.
OP is definitely not the a-hole in this situation; there was no other way to deal with it other than the one she chose. Going on that trip would have made her miserable since the mother would probably walk all over her the whole time.
Good riddance; no one needs to endure being around such awful people.
