The Reddit user said that the duo have been together for two years. She doesn't have a big family - it's just her dad and her older sister. She expressed her love for her dad and mentioned how devoted he was to her. But it all started going downhill when her fiancé couldn't get along with her father. She wrote about different disagreements her father and fiancé had over the years, the latest one being her father refusing to give him money for the wedding.
"Yesterday. my fiance told me to look for "someone else" to walk me down the aisle and asked why. He said that my dad refused to help with the wedding and he should be grateful he's still invited. I got upset and argued that for one, my dad refused to contribute because he has no money, he can not afford to pay. And two, just like any bride I want my dad to walk me down the aisle on my wedding day." the user wrote.
The disagreement turned into a terrible fight between the couple.
"He's fuming and is insisting I'm being inconsiderate and projecting on him when I called him selfish," the user concluded.
Redditors largely replied 'NTA' (Not An A**h***) and sided with u/throwaway569070 while urging her to re-evaluate her choices. Someone wrote, "Your fiance is trying to control you. He sees your father as a threat to his control over you," while also urging her to look up 'coercive controlling.' "If you're going to make the mistake of marrying this jerk, NTA for having your father walk you down the aisle," another wrote.
"Yeah don't marry this a**h***. "Lucky to be invited because he didn't give me money?" Run. NTA," someone said. Another wrote, "NTA. Probably should skip the aisle altogether." Someone pointed out, "NTA and think carefully before marrying someone who wants to alienate you from your father on the most important day of your life. These are RED flags."
