His parents paid for everything and mine did not. So I'm in debt and he isn't. Why are we fighting about this?

    a different perspective

    LW: It is YOU that he is at mad at/doesn't like. He's just using your parents as scapegoats, because that's easier than confronting you directly or confronting his feelings about you directly. He may have good reason, hard to tell what the real circumstances are. If you were already in tremendous debt, why have an expensive wedding? I concur with everyone else here, your 70 year old parents should not be paying you back, that's criminal. And you do seem to be blaming them for your debt, as well. Why don't you stand up to your husband and tell him that YOUR debt is YOUR fault/problem, not your parents' and to leave them out of it?
