If you could not have guessed, though, that conversation did not go over well. His wife became furious with him and pointed out how she barely had any money saved up to put toward the wedding. Then, she wound up accusing him of being an awful person.
He has since received a ton of calls from his in-laws, claiming that he should be responsible for paying. And quite frankly, the entire thing has become a huge mess– dividing his family.
“I also want to clarify that this is going to be far from a minor financial inconvenience. While I am sufficiently wealthy, it is still not something that will be easy on my bank account,” he revealed.
“My wife’s family is Indian. Her ex-husband was Indian, and my stepdaughter is Indian. So, her wedding is going to probably have around 400 to 600 people.”
However, his wife has access to all of their shared bank accounts and could very well pay for the wedding if she wanted to. But he does not think she will without his permission. And as of right now, he has chosen to hold his ground and refuse to pay for the event.
But still, with all of his in-laws quite upset with him over this, he has been left wondering whether refusing to pay for his stepdaughter’s wedding was the wrong thing to do or not.
Do you think he could have done anything different to forge a relationship with his stepdaughter? Or did he do his best? Should he have to pay for the wedding if his stepdaughter does not view him as a part of her life? If you were in his shoes, would you refuse also?
