[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t think you understand what you have paid for. You paid for his college education. You didn’t buy his soul. And you didn’t do the work to graduate, he did.

You were the one who messed up by having a kid with this man. You have to bear the consequences, one of which is that you may have to put up with him appearing occasionally at events, like weddings, that he didn’t pay for and by rights shouldn’t be attending. If you don’t like it, you should have kept your legs closed, or taken precautions, 22 years ago.[/quote]

I'm not paying for his wedding, so he can invite whomever he wants to that. This is a six-figure college degree I literally did pay for. And I paid untold sums and made untold sacrifices to make sure he was even prepared for this milestone. His father's actions, or inaction, for the last 22 years would have him digging ditches or in jail.

The deadbeat would only want to be there to steal credit for something he didn't help with, take photos for social media, and dupe his new wife. I'm not going to be complicit in that. Let him explain why he's not invited. She clearly has no idea the caliber of loser she married.[/quote]

I'm not sure why you asked this question if you're totally uninterested in hearing any answer you don't 100% agree with. DP.[/quote]
