AITAH for humiliating my sister’s fiancé at a family gathering after what he did to her?
A person describes a situation involving their sister (28F) and her fiancé (32M), who is generally loud and extroverted compared to the sister's reserved nature.
The fiancé recently caused significant distress by staging an elaborate fake proposal in front of his friends, only to laugh at the sister when she reacted seriously to the event.
Although the sister did not end the relationship, she remained deeply hurt. Later, at a family dinner, the fiancé made another insensitive comment regarding their wedding plans.
In response, the narrator brought up the previous fake proposal incident to call him out publicly, which led to an argument with the sister who felt embarrassed by the confrontation. The narrator is now questioning if they were wrong for intervening.

The narrator is conflicted because they acted to defend their sister against repeated public humiliation by her fiancé, an action supported by their parents.
However, the sister is upset, feeling that the intervention publicly embarrassed the fiancé and potentially worsened her relationship situation.
The core debate centers on whether the narrator was justified in publicly calling out the fiancé's disrespectful behavior to support their sister, or if this public confrontation was an overstep that damaged the sister's relationship dynamics, leaving the question: Was the narrator justified in defending their sister publicly, or should they have remained silent?
