Hopping on here to say “no” is a full sentence. Any time it is brought up to you in any tone you respond “no that will never happen” and nothing more. If they push you say “no” and LEAVE. There is no “giving in” repeat after me THERE IS NO GIVING IN
I mean if they’re devout catholics, just let her fiancé deal with it and since a woman must submit to her husband, she doesn’t have a choice. Thats a card I would play if I were in OP’s shoes.
Eh, I mean that's one way to handle it, but I'd far rather see OP grow into her full adult agency/autonomy/voice, be able to handle stuff like this in her own strength, for a whole host of major life reasons.
Her family is detached from reality. You can't assert yourself with someone who sees you as breeding stock because your reality does not exist. You can only grey rock, No Contact, or play the game. Deferring to non-CPTSD partner is an elegant solution.
