The man wrote about his story on the popular Reddit forum in the hope of understanding his decision there. His 22-year-old daughter is soon marrying me, she asked him to escort her down the aisle with her stepfather. This, however, gave her an ultimatum. – I told her it was either him or me. There is no way I would do it with him, the man admitted.
“Either he or I”
As he explained, for many reasons he was not present in his daughter’s life until she was 16, only then he returned to the country and became involved in her life. Meanwhile, from the age of 5, the husband of his ex-partner played the role of her father. – Her mother always accuses me that he is her real parent and was always with her – the man complains.
However, the idea of the daughter to escort her to the altar together embarrassed the man. – I went to talk to her to talk about how uncomfortable I feel about it. She emphasized that her stepfather played a huge role in her life and she wanted to honor him in this way – says the man.
– I told her that I understood it and I do not question the role he played in her stepfather, but I just do not feel comfortable with it – adds the man. As he explains, he offered to appear at the wedding simply as a guest, but the daughter argued that both fathers escorted her to the altar means a lot to her.
The latter, however, was not convinced by her arguments, making her choose between him and her stepfather. His attitude, however, seriously offended the future bride. – She got upset saying it was unfair that I put her before such a choice – the man relates. As she goes on to say, their conversation eventually ended in a serious quarrel, during which he threatened not to attend the ceremony at all.
Contrary to his expectations, forum users unanimously sided with his daughter, accusing him of selfishness. – She is 22 years old, and you entered her life when she was 16. In her place I would not invite you to come at all, or even if you are my biological father – one user wrote bluntly. – I feel sorry for her. You can see that he is trying to embrace this situation, and you are destroying everything with your overgrown ego – adds the next commenter.
