A 35-year-old man, Mark, endured a strained relationship with his attention-seeking brother, Todd. Tensions escalated when Todd planned to propose at Mark’s wedding, resulting in Todd being ousted as a groomsman. During the father-daughter dance, Todd proposed to his girlfriend, Lucy, stealing the spotlight. Mark, with friend Jim, orchestrated revenge by hiring a woman to claim pregnancy by Todd.

“I warned him that if, as a guest, he’d try anything, I would make him regret it,” the man admitted. He was no longer a groomsman, but he was welcome to attend as a guest.

Chaos ensued, Lucy rejected Todd, and Mark sought Reddit advice on Todd’s demand for exoneration. Responses varied, with some endorsing the family’s separation, while others felt the revenge went too far, especially considering a child was involved.
