“I yelled at him that if my wedding was such a burden, then [he should] take the child he is dating and get the hell out,” she explained.
As soon as the words escaped her mouth, though, he father looked absolutely horrified. Then, her grandma started tearing into her– claiming that she was an awful person, especially because her father paid for the wedding.
Her father then asked if she really wanted him to leave, and she pointed out how neither he nor Marissa would shut up about the birthday. So, she told him to either zip it or leave.
Now, her father did end up staying for the rest of the evening. But, he was honestly really cold toward her for the rest of the night.
Plus, she even overheard Marissa and her grandmother joking about how her father should rip up the check for the wedding after how she spoke to him.
So now, even though all of the hoopla surrounding Marissa’s birthday really got on her nerves, she is not sure if calling her father out was an overreaction and a jerky thing to do.
Why do you think her father felt the need to apologize repeatedly? Is it a red flag that Marissa cared so much about her birthday on her soon-to-be stepdaughter’s wedding day or not? Would you have also gotten annoyed by the constant birthday talk and apologizing? How would you have handled this situation?
