My cousin proposed to his girlfriend Ayla three months ago. We’re close since our friend groups 😉 overlap, and I helped 😊 her feel comfortable when they first started dating. She recently 🛶 came to my house to plan her wedding because my cousin’s family has strong opinions but wants her to have a say too. While 🚙 chatting, I joked, “Good thing you and your family passed the background check.” I thought she already knew his family secretly ran one—since they did the same to his mom years ago. 🚖 She didn’t. She was furious, broke off the engagement, and my 🚧 cousin was crushed. Now they’re trying to fix things, but it’s rocky. I admitted I told her, and now my aunt, uncle, and mom are livid, saying I ruined everything. I still think Ayla had a right to know. AITA for exposing the secret “background check”?
