I(30F) am getting married to my fiance ‘Alan’(33M) in december. My fiance was married to ‘Amy’(34F) before me and they had a son together ‘Jay’(17F). Amy and Alan slept together at a party when they were both 16 and jay was the product of that. They tried their best to make it work for 5 years but then got divorced as Amy had cheated on Jay.
Now coming to the issue, I met my husband when I was 25 and he was 28. That’s nearly 6-7 years after his divorce with Amy. But Jay seemed to think of me as the cause of it. Alan and Amy have decided to not tell Jay about the real reason of their divorce until he’s legally an adult. Because of that, he seems to believe that if he pushes his father and mother together, they’ll get back together.
I have nothing against Jay but his actions really hurt me and he’s so full of hatred for me. Intially, I tried to be a second mom to him but he didn’t like it nor did Amy, which I understand. So I stopped trying and treated him as a friend instead. But he talks down to me, calls me homewrecker. But, last week his friends all messaged me harassing me and asking to send them my OF(which I don’t have) since I’m a thot and alot of other explicit things. This has hit the nail in the coffin for my fiance.
My fiance is furious at Jay and wants to uninvite him from our wedding, so do I. but Amy is against that. She thinks I’m being too sensitive and believes that this is normal teen behaviour. I don’t know if my dislike for Jay is clouding my decision. So please tell me AITA?

Clearly not an asshole. They “it’s just teen behaviour” is really cringe and I would not be surprised if Amy is messing with her son’s head. How is he custody arrangement?
As for the wedding… As a parent, I would prefer to have him there but in the end, it’s really the choice of both of you that matters ^^

Plus that may fly at 13/14 but not at 17. Essentially an adult.
