Stories about Dads Who Refused to Pay for Their Kids’ Weddings

In June , a Reddit user took to the “Off My Chest” forum to share a troubling situation leading up to his stepdaughter’s wedding on August 3. Despite a decade-long relationship with his stepdaughter’s mother, they were not married. He detailed his significant financial contributions to his stepdaughter, covering her college expenses and buying her a car. However, what distressed him was her differential treatment between him and her biological father, who intermittently appeared in her life.

As the wedding approached, he was promised space for 20 guests but discovered they weren’t invited due to venue constraints. His frustration peaked when his stepdaughter’s biological father was given a prominent role, leading him to realize his diminished status within the family. In a toast at a dinner, he relinquished his financial role and left the shared home with his girlfriend and stepdaughter.

The next day, he withdrew wedding funds and canceled vendors. His discovery of wedding plans catering to the biological father confirmed his feelings of neglect. Despite his girlfriend’s attempts to reconcile, he stood firm in his decision to move out. While the wedding was scaled back, he found closure and appreciated the support from Reddit.
