Her Stepsister’s Fiancé Suggested She Should Hook Up With Him, And She Wound Up Telling Her Stepdad He Came Onto Her, So Now Her Stepdad Is Refusing To Pay For Her Stepsister’s Wedding
When this 28-year-old woman was a teenager, her mother and stepfather got married. In addition to gaining a new stepdad, though, she also got a new stepsister named Jen, who is now 29.
But unfortunately, she and Jen never really seemed to click.
“I have nothing against her. We just are not close,” she said.
Anyway, from the time she was 22 to 26-years-old, she worked at her stepdad’s company. Jen worked there as well and actually still does.
While she was employed by her stepdad’s office, though, she wound up becoming friends with a colleague named Pete. Everyone in the office noticed their friendship, too, and would constantly joke about Pete having a crush on her.
But, honestly, she admitted to never viewing him that way. Plus, Pete never actually made a move on her, so she did not pay too much attention to all of the teasings.
Once she began dating her now-husband, though, she realized that things between her and Pete started getting pretty awkward.
Fortunately, that awkwardness was pretty short-lived– because she ultimately quit her job and did not remain in contact with Pete.
They did still follow each other on social media, though, which is how she found out that Pete started dating her stepsister Jen just a few months later.

Then, just last year, the couple wound up getting engaged. Her stepdad also agreed to pay for the entire wedding.
More recently, though, things took a drastic turn for the worst. And it all began just a few weeks ago at a different wedding.
Apparently, one of her old colleagues was getting married. So, she and her parents, as well as Jen and Pete, all attended the wedding.
But, after the ceremony ended and the reception started, she noticed that Pete was being a bit too friendly with her. At the time, though, she just chalked his behavior up to too much alcohol consumption.
Then, as time went on, things got worse. At one point, she reportedly went outside to get some fresh air when Pete followed her out and suggested that they hook up.
“And I made it clear I was extremely uncomfortable and went back inside,” she recalled.
So, the following day, she thought calling her stepsister and being honest about what had happened was the best thing to do. According to Jen, though, she could not have been more wrong.
Jen wound up accusing her of trying to ruin their relationship. Her stepsister also told her that he should not “make the whole situation worse” by telling her stepdad what happened.
And honestly, she agreed at the time. She did not feel like she had any right to meddle in their business.
About a week ago, though, she was on a video call with her parents when they brought up Jen’s wedding. And once they mentioned Pete, her face must have subconsciously changed– because her parents noticed and immediately began asking if something was wrong.
At first, she tried to insist that nothing had happened. But then, her parents admitted to seeing Pete follow her outside at the wedding and revealed their own theories about what he did.
Now, she claims that all of her parent’s theories were actually way worse than what had actually transpired. So, after about 20 minutes of hearing their speculation, she decided to just tell them the truth.
She also reportedly begged her parents not to get involved since Jen and Pete had already worked it out.
Unfortunately, though, the damage was already done. Her stepdad was absolutely livid after hearing about what happened at the wedding, and he opted to call Jen immediately.
Plus, after her stepdad got into a massive argument with Jen, he wound up refusing to pay for or even attend her stepsister’s wedding.
So, ever since then, Jen has not stopped calling and texting her, as well as posting online about what a terrible person she is for ruining their wedding.
This has also caused some of Jen’s friends to accost her for spilling the beans to her stepdad after Jen asked her not to.
On top of all of this, she has also been accused of ruining Pete’s career since he works with her stepdad.
This has forced her to do damage control and try to explain to everyone that if she allowed her parents to keep thinking the worst, then the consequences would have been much more damning.
But no one seems to understand her point, and they still believe she should have somehow kept the entire thing under wraps.
So, despite her own friends thinking she did the right thing, she is starting to have second thoughts.
“My stepdad is now not speaking to Jen, and her whole wedding has been canceled because of me. So I do feel guilty,” she vented.
And now, she has been left wondering whether telling her parents the truth about what happened with Pete makes her a total jerk or not.
Is it her fault that Pete was inappropriate and tried to make a move on her? Does it seem like she tried to do the right thing by telling her stepsister first and trying to prevent her parents from thinking the worst? If you had been in her shoes, how would you have handled this situation?
