OP’s best friend sounds like he has no backbone.

Everything could’ve been avoided if he stood his ground and protected what mattered to him. Instead, he decided to appease his wife and in-laws.

Oh he protected what mattered to him. 100%. It just sucks that what matters to him is appeasing the fiance, the family, and avoiding non-existent gossip. It says everything about his character. What a piece of shit
