Stepdaughter Wanted Her “Real Dad” To Give Her Away On Her Wedding, Stepdad Refuses To Pay For Wedding

Step relations can be very complex and tough to manage. It requires a compromise from both sides, that is what all collaborations require to become strong. But if one party is making all the effort they can to keep the relationship well and alive and the other doesn’t give two sh*ts about it, then this relationship can never sustain for long, it is bound to end.

Something similar happened in the case of Reddit user u/rainingsakuras who had a girlfriend and a stepdaughter. OP would do everything for his stepdaughter to provide her with the best life. He paid for her education, gave her a car, and was even going to pay for her wedding that was coming up. However, she never respected him the way he deserved to be respected. She never considered him her father. She still loved her “real dad” and every time he would show up, she would fawn all over him.

This extended to the point that for her wedding OP’s stepdaughter announced that her real father would give her away. OP felt angry and couldn’t believe what had just happened so he decided to make an announcement of his own. He declared he was not going to host the wedding anymore and transferred the duties to the person who had replaced him; the real dad. This also meant OP freed himself of all financial duties that too got transferred to the real dad.

Scroll down below to read how it all went down!

1. These step relations are very complex.

2. OP’s daughter is getting married soon and it takes all of her and her mother’s time.

3. OP has supported her stepdaughter throughout her life.

4. Even though OP does everything for his stepdaughter, every time her real father shows up she goes all gaga over him.

5. OP was also going to pay for his stepdaughter’s wedding so he decided to invite 20 guests of his own. The guest list got approved.

6. One day OP saw a friend of his and asked him if he was attending the wedding to which he said he never got invited.

7. Turns out the friend had only received an announcement, not an invite. OP saw the card himself.

8. OP had a major fight with his girlfriend over the fact that none of his guests were invited.

9. OP’s GF said she may be able to a couple of his guests in but that offer felt like a joke to him.

10. One day the future in-laws were invited to a dinner and to OP’s surprise the real dad was also there. That’s where OP’s stepdaughter announced her real dad would be the one giving her away at her wedding.

11. OP couldn’t believe what had happened as it took him a few seconds to gather back the emotions that had just burst in him.

12. OP knew he couldn’t just let this slide so he decided to speak up.

13. OP started off by raising a toast to the bride and groom thanking them for opening his eyes to something very…important.

14. OP turned smiles into confusion saying he is not honored in the family the way he used to be.

15. OP shared he was wrong for thinking of himself as the godfather of the family when he is only an ATM machine for everyone to use.

16. He then broke the b*mb on everyone by resigning from his financial duties and transferring them to the host who replaced him, OP’s real father. Take that!

17. OP was done with everything. 50 grand is not a small amount. Those guys were too entitled.

18. OP didn’t stop there, he proceeded to take all the money out of the joint account he had made with his stepdaughter and girlfriend.

19. OP also called all the vendors he had deposited the money with for the wedding and asked for a refund. He got almost all of it.

Here’s an update OP shared:

20. OP’s toast caused a lot of tantrums and mumbling among the people present there.

21. OP and his girlfriend had a major fight, again, and OP slept in his home office that night. His girlfriend nor his stepdaughter, no one tried approaching OP that night.

22. I don’t think that was a good idea, GF.

23. At this point OP felt they were just disrespecting him.

24. OP shut the planner and slapped his girlfriend by telling her and his stepdaughter to move out.

25. It is now up to the real dad to either sell himself or do whatever to make the wedding happen. OP is out!

This is what the internet thought about this:

26. They should get the signals and get out of this.

27. OP was only their credit card, never a father figure.

28. Very high. And they will realize what a blunder they have made when this happens.
