I've made my decision to move back home with my parents until my fiance and i get married and figure things out financially. My in-laws are shaming me for it and treating me like a horrible person. I have multiple reasons why i didn't want to live out here anymore and my fiance supports me. He doesn't even want to live here anymore. I think it's about control and pride with his family.

In my regular bible reading I read this today after I saw your post earlier.
John 15:18-19 (NASB)
18 "If the world hates you, you know that it has hated Me before it hated you.
19 "If you were of the world, the world would love its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, because of this the world hates you.

I don't think I need to say much about it but your fiancé supporting you is great and that likely he is not of the world, but of course you would know and discern I assume. Don't let the shame get you down though of the in-laws. How could anyone in Christ see you moving out as a bad thing?

Your fiancé‘s parents have no right to treat you in that way. It seems they are abusive by nature.

You might want to check out some bids on what it’s called the gray rock technique. It is a way where you can deal with abuse of people and keep your cool and not be hurt.

I pray all will work out well for you.

Dear Lord,
I pray for Your hand of blessing on the behalf of FaithfulAndTrue for making what appears to be the right decision. I thank You for being faithful to Your Word and guiding FaithfulandTrue into all truth as You said the Holy Spirit would do in John 16:13. I pray for strength for her, that she would act on the ugly truth that has been revealed to her with all wisdom and discernment. I pray for her fiancé as well, that You would empower and strengthen him to get away from his parents and build a life of his own, and that he would listen to wise counsel and seek out Your Will for his life.
In Christ's Name,
Amen
