This Man Got A Restraining Order Against His Family After They Spread Rumors That His Son’s Fiancé Was A Sugar Daddy
The term “sugar daddy” was first recorded in the 1920s but has grown especially popular on social media.
Many people now openly disclose if they have a “sugar daddy” online despite the people who view this kind of relationship as taboo.
While there is nothing wrong with having a sugar daddy– more power to you– this man became particularly upset when his family began spreading false rumors about his son online. The man’s family believes that his son is only marrying his fiancé because he is a sugar daddy.
“My son, who is twenty-six, has always been fond of older guys. He always dated men older than thirty-five– just like his fiancé,” the man explained.
His son’s fiancé, named Thomas, is a forty-six-year-old cardiothoracic surgeon. The man never saw an issue with their age difference. Instead, he admits to never seeing his son happier.
“The problem is my family,” the man said, “They never approved of him dating older guys, and it was a big faux-pas, in their eyes, that they met at the hospital.”
When the couple met, his son was a twenty-one-year-old medical student. Thomas had visited his son’s university to deliver a guest lecture for medical residents. While the pair have never worked together or had a conflict of interest, the man’s family still has not spoken to his son since 2018.
“Besides my widowed dad,” the man clarified, “He thinks that his family needs to get themselves together.”
Despite not speaking to his son, the family apparently watched from afar as Thomas spoiled his fiancé. Still, this was all purely out of love.

“He said that my son needs to focus on his residency and graduate with minimal damage,” the man said.
“Thomas paid for my son’s first car when he was twenty-three and also bought a house. He wrote my son’s name on the deed after they got engaged in February of 2021.”
The couple was excitedly planning a summer wedding until Thomas, unfortunately, lost his mother to a stroke. The wedding had to then be postponed.
“It is going to be huge. They both invited their clinics, which will be at least one hundred and fifty people alone, and at least two hundred people from their medical schools are attending. My son also invited his high school crew, and Thomas invited his extended family,” the man mentioned.
All in all, the wedding has a whopping guest list of nearly seven hundred and fifty people.
After his son announced the engagement, though, the man’s family took to social media and began gossiping.
“My family started to post on Facebook and Instagram about how my son found a sugar daddy to ‘milk’ and how he was a disgrace to the entire community,” the man continued. “They also said I was a terrible father for letting him move.”
Immediately, the man was “phone-bombed” by his employees and partners. He was mortified and had to explain the entire situation.
Afterward, the man also reached out to his lawyer, who suggested a restraining order for online harassment. They were able to obtain this order within three days.
“Now, it has been two weeks, and everyone in the neighborhood is blaming us for getting the restraining order instead of talking to them,” the man explained.
“But honestly, I don’t want to. They can rot in their houses.”
Still, the man’s father believes that he went too far and destroyed their records. Now, he is left wondering if he overreacted.
If your son was being harassed online for his perfectly happy engagement, would you have done the same thing?
