He added, "My other brother became Nora's legal guardian but she ended up living with me most of the time and we got closer. She is like a daughter to me and eventhough I'm not her legal guardian everyone in our family has accepted me as her dad."
He further explained what he told his girlfriend and wrote, "I started dating my gf about a year ago and told her that I have a daughter. I didn't go into details that she is not mine I just wanted her to know that Nora and I are a package deal."
The user explained, "I introduced her to Nora about 4 months ago and they do NOT get along. Nora is not an easy kid to get along with and my gf lacks patience A few days ago she found out that Nora is actually not mine and freaked out. She called me an asshole for lying to her and forcing her to tolerate and spend time with "that annoying kid who isn't even mine."
In the end, the man mentioned, "I told her that Nora is mine and kicked her out of my home for insulting my child in my home. I have been getting texts from her friends who all think I'm an asshole."
'Disgusting people'
As soon as the post went online, the users expressed their views about the whole situation as one of the users wrote, "NTA. Biological father or not, legal guardian or not, you are responsible for Nora and it's part of your job to advocate for her, which is exactly what you were doing. You owe no one an explanation of the true nature of your relationship with Nora." Another user wrote, "NTA. OP needs to drop the GF and keep the kid." The last user called the people disgusting and wrote, "Absolutely. NTA. Block them all. Disgusting people."
