He Offered To Pay For His Sister’s Wedding Since He’s Extremely Wealthy But After His Stepsister Asked Him To Do The Same For Her, He Refused
A 29-year-old man’s mom and dad ended up getting divorced when he was just 6-years-old and his sister happened to be 8 at the time.
Sadly, after the divorce, his mom wiped her hands clean of him and his sister, and they really didn’t interact with her for the remainder of the childhood.
His mom then went on to marry a man with a daughter that’s a year younger than he is. Meanwhile, his dad never married ever again following the divorce.
They all learned at some point that his mom had cheated on their dad with the man she then got married to.
When his older sister celebrated her 18th birthday, his mom decided to re-enter his life and his sister’s life.
She never stopped communicating with them upon reuniting with them, and he thinks she’s really been a decent mom to both of them in the resulting years.
Along with becoming closer to his mom, he and his sister managed to maintain a pretty good relationship with their new stepsister.
“Now before going any further, I must disclose that I was one of the founders of an app which was bought by a big private equity fund and I got a high 8 figures settlement as a result,” he explained.
“Also, I was a very early investor in Bitcoin, so from that also I earned massive profit. Suffice to say I am very well to do.”

“So, my sister decided to get married earlier this year and I paid for the whole ceremony, it cost around 80k in total.”
The money wasn’t a problem for him at all, since he’s so wealthy it was easy for him to pay for it. His sister was thrilled with her wedding, and that’s what makes him the happiest.
This month, his stepsister is having her wedding, and she actually had the audacity to call him up and ask that he pay for her wedding too.
“I refused, why would I pay for her wedding? But then my mom called me and said that I shouldn’t discriminate between my two sisters, like wtf? I only have one,” he said.
“Mom says that since my step sister and her fiancé are not very well to do, I should help them. I told her that just because I paid for my own sister’s wedding it doesn’t mean that I would pay for the wedding of the daughter of the guy she left us for.”
His mom accused him of being “petty” but his dad and his sister fully agree with his position on paying for his stepsister’s wedding; or rather, his decision not to.
