Since this is a public forum and my opinion is the only thing I have to offer - take this for whatever you see fit.

You ruined any chance of making things right with these boys by taking the whole thing public. By bringing it here and spending the effort to prove you were right, it only agravated an already bad situation. This is not black and white. Were you hoping that they'd admit you were 100% right and then want to make up and ride with you? By trying to justify your position, you hardly allowed this guy (and the ohers) the room to accept their role and meet you halfway.

You'll understand this better after you've been married a few years.
