A woman has shared how her fiancé banned her stepsisters from their wedding, insisting that they are not part of the family.
The bride-to-be took to Reddit and explained that she and her fiancé were preparing their guest list when he suggested uninviting her stepsisters.
“I am getting married to my fiancé next month. We’ve had no issues with the wedding planning except the guest list. For context, I have a large family. I have two stepsisters, a biological brother, and a biological sister,” she wrote.
“My fiancé argued that the guest list should be cut short and suggested I only invite my ‘immediate family’,” she continued.
“I asked him to elaborate and he suggested excluding my stepsisters.
“I said no, and got upset with him for implying that they’re not family. He said he was just speaking from a technical angle, especially since I didn’t include them in the wedding party as bridesmaids, so he thought they were ‘unneeded’.
“I said they are wanted, and will always be wanted and included by me.
“A few days ago, my stepsisters called saying my fiancé cancelled their invitations and told them some lie about changing wedding location and telling them they won’t be able to come.”
The woman was left furious and when she confronted him, he claimed he was just doing her ‘dirty work.’
She also said that her fiancé has six of his friends on his side of the list and none of them were related to him.
“He got up from the couch and yelled that it’s our wedding so my stepsisters’ feelings aren’t really that relevant compared to his, and called me controlling for wanting my way or the highway,” she added.
People on Reddit shared their thoughts, with one person writing: “You should really think about marrying this person that doesn’t respect your family or decisions. Best of luck!”
Another wrote: “”Do not marry this man, please. He does not respect you or your family, and the two of you don’t have very good communication or conflict resolution skills. That’s not going to magically get better.”
