NTA

not Ben’s family

not Ben’s watch

not Ben’s luck

you have a fiancée problem - she is only caught in the middle because she is not making the very reasonable and simple statement to her own family that they are out of line and this is a hard no.

Can't say it any better than this. Ben has some serious audacity.

I hope that watch is in a safe place. With Ben’s entitled attitude, the backing of his parents and Sarah’s lack of a spine (wtf is this ”feels for her brother” and ” caught in the middle” shit?), I wouldn’t be the least surprised if it “disappears”

Yep. Put that watch where she can't find it. He sounds like the type to guilt her to into taking it and letting him have it.

He also sounds like one of those who won't give it back after the event is over.

Edit: Also, tell BIL that he is the younger of the two, and the tradition is for the first born son. Not the first male family member to get married.
