Awkward, unsociable or just plain rude (see details)

BFF bought her fiancee to meet my family for Thanksgiving Day. The guy pretty much ingored us in lieu of checking his laptop and talking on his cell phone. On top of that he kept scheduling meditation classes that took he and BFF out of the house to where we had no meals together or time for movies, drives, games, etc. aside from the sit down meal that evening.

My family was not only disappointed, they were insulted and as many excuses for the couple as I made or my own bf made, we all still ended up feeling very slighted. The guy is over 40 years old, it’s not like he’s never been a guest to anyone’s home before. Is this common now, social graces are optional or passe? I don’t want to say anything to my BFF because she’s clearly smitten.
