in my defense I have been in reddit and this sub for a long time, I’ve been reading stories about evil stepmoms trying to exclude their stepkids and I was very worried that my future wife would be this way.

anyway we were planning our wedding, I have an 11 yo daughter and I suggested that she should be our flower girl. my fiancee said “no I don’t think she should be the flower girl, I want my cousin to be flower girl” and that’s when I lost it. I told her to don’t even think about excluding my child and if she ever does that then the wedding will be canceled. I told her that my child will always come first and if she wants to be flower girl she will be the flower girl whether my fiancee likes it or not.

she was looking at me bewildered the whole time and then she started to yell at me asking me wtf is wrong with me and telling me to let her finish her fcking sentence. apparently she thinks my daughter is too old to be flower girl which is why she wanted to make her a junior bridesmaid instead.

I tried to apologize but she didn’t listen to me and just left. I know I overreacted but I was just trying to be a good dad and I think she was overreacting too couldn’t she just calmly explain this to me instead of turning it into a fight?
