Engagement present

DB recently got engaged whilst away on holiday. FaceTimed them immediately after to say congratulations and how happy we were for them. They got back late from holiday that weekend, I didn't see them until the following Tuesday as had a lot going on and couldn't see them sooner. We have a young DC and me and DP both work FT so this was the earliest we could see them.

We only got them a card as we can't afford anything else at the moment. They know we don't earn much and saving to take DS away on his first holiday.

Anyway, DB tells my mum that he's not happy with us. That I don't care about his engagement. I then confront him and say I didn't realise there was a problem, he then goes on to say I'm selfish, horrible, I don't give a shit or care about anybody.

AIBU really? Because im struggling to see his side of things Confused

Going no contact is a bit dramatic. You can just go no effort.

He's being ridiculous, but life is too short to go NC over something like this. Be the bigger person, move on, don't escalate. Don't give him the satisfaction of taking his stupid comments seriously.

We didn't get any engagement presents and were perfectly happy. He's BU.
