The original poster stated that his stepdaughter’s wedding was set for August 3rd and emphasized how much of her and her mother’s lives had been taken up during the previous six months of preparation. “I say her mother because we’re not married, even though we’ve been together for ten years,” he explained of their relationship. The man went on to describe his extensive financial assistance to his stepdaughter, which included paying $40,000 in tuition even though she was enrolled in public school.

He also mentioned that he got her a car after high school to make it easier for her to commute to and from school. When he calmed down, he got up from his chair and said that he would like to toast his ten years as a member of the family. What worried him most, it seemed, was how his stepdaughter treated him as opposed to her biological father. OP revealed that she occasionally saw her biological father re-emerge in her life and that she had a strong bond with him. The stepfather revealed that his stepdaughter still loved her biological father and wanted his presence in her life, even though he did not provide financial or child support.

He said it always broke her heart when her biological father made a promise to her and then left.As the wedding date approached, the anonymous stepfather’s discontent grew and he discovered a depressing reality. Considering his significant financial contribution to the wedding, he supplied a list of 20 people he wished to invite to the event, which had a strict capacity of 250 people. “I gave them a list of 20 people I wanted to invite, you know because I was paying for everything,” he elaborated on the forum.

They assured me that there would be no problems and that they would sort it out. I have informed these people to mark the date because they will get an invitation. ”But the reality was far less exciting than he imagined. He found out from one of his friends on the list during a chance meeting on the golf course that he hadn’t actually received an invitation. Rather, it was just an announcement card without the stepfather’s name. The biological mother and father of the bride were listed in the announcement but were noticeably absent.
