My (29M) dad was married to my mom for about 30 years. He wasn’t the best husband at all. He had a pattern of cheating and being extremely disrespectful for their entire relationship. I’m glad they got a divorce because they were never good together. Mainly, he wasn’t good to her. I normally wouldn’t care about him getting married again, but he’s literally getting married to the last woman that he cheated on my mom with. This woman also has the same name as my mom… I don’t even know what I will refer to her as. I still haven’t met her and don’t feel like I want to. My siblings have told him that they’re not going to the wedding. I’ve avoided the convo with him for the most part, but he recently asked me to be a part of the wedding.. just odd. Very very odd. AITA for not wanting to go?
NTA A wedding invitation is not a summons, and you’re under no obligation to support someone who clearly hurt the people you care about.
NTA at all. You don’t owe it to him to have a relationship with his wife in any capacity.
NTA. I would tell him that she will never be in the same room with you and he needs to accept that.
“Not this wedding, but maybe next one”
Followed by
“Only advice: prenup”
NTA. He is most likely struggling to explain why none of his children want anything to do with him. Let him continue this struggle.
Nope. Dont go
If you don’t want to go then don’t go. You don’t even need to talk about it if it makes you uncomfortable. Your dad did a horrible thing to your mom and you have every right to stick up for her and even be angry about it. Your relationship with your father might be negatively impacted but who cares what a cheater thinks. You do you
NTA for obvious reasons I wouldn’t attend either why just to make them happy nope you broke up my family sorry.
NTA — I wouldn’t want to participate in a wedding with my dad marrying someone he cheated with outside his martiage. Infidelity.
NTA
You have no obligation to support your father in this. If you’re uncomfortable, don’t go. You’re grown. Do what feels right for you.
It might get weird because you’re the last of his children to decline to be a part of his wedding. He might be more upset with you simply because you were his last hope of legitimizing his affair by being at the wedding.
NTA. Oh look, it’s the consequences of his own actions
NTA Just tell Dad you’re busy but you’ll be sure to catch the next wedding! Of course the woman he cheated with he will cheat on. And she won’t be able to understand!
NTA. Why go to a homewrecker wedding? Especially when that marriage will have a bunch of cheating in it too.
NTA. If he presses the issue just tell him “Why should we show your wedding any respect? You didn’t even show any respect to your own marriage with mom.”
