I am not an english major by any stretch. What is the rule here?
fiancee = woman, finace = man
Fiancee went to the strip club + I went to the strip club = Fiancee and I went to the strip club.
The stripper danced in between my fiancee + The stripper danced in between me = The stripper danced in between my fiancee and me.

Fiancee signifies female future partner in marriage. Fiance signifies male future partner. Thus, I would have to presume either you're a woman or you're gay by the thread title.
Oh, also I is the nominative pronoun case. Between is a preposition so "fiancee and I" function as objects of a preposition. Therefore, you should use the objective case--me.
They really don't teach grammar in schools anymore, do they?

Thank you! I agree.

Wow, Tweak and I can come to an agreement without a debate this time!
Well, if you want to play that game, "her" is a vague pronoun. There is no indication that "her" actually refers to your fiancee. 😉Originally posted by: Tweak155
I'm sure they taught it, the more likely problem is that I didn't listen 🙂
I always did good in math and science. English made me cry.
Hence, I'm a nerd on AT.
EDIT:
Actually by the thread title, I at least put "her" in it. So you would have a failed assumption 🙂

Heh. I really am a logical person. Just my one aspect my make certain people think otherwise (probably the majority of people).

Anyway, I'm actually a Math major. It is possible to do well in both English and science. I'm one of the few people that appreciate the beautiful grammatical structure of language, though.
However, to be honest, I can't blame anyone for finding it boring. Mistakes like yours generally don't bother me too much. Knowing such intricacies of grammar is admittedly pretty useless.

Ohh boy, I know I don't have to spell it out to you. I definitely don't want to send this thread in that direction...

Save this as evidence, because you will need it in the future.
That is all an elaborate ruse to lull you into a feeling of security.
