People rally around dad who refuses to walk his daughter down the aisle for good reason

Many dads look forward to walking their daughters down the aisle, as it's a significant milestone in their relationship. But sometimes, unexpected situations arise that make this moment difficult. One dad, u/Tricky_park7436, shared on Reddit why he chose not to walk his daughter down the aisle and questioned whether he was wrong for doing so. He had been excited about the idea until he discovered something surprising.

"I don't want to walk my daughter down the aisle anymore. Her wedding is happening in a month and up until a week ago, I was going to walk her down the aisle. I wanted to be there for my daughter on her special day. I've always dreamed of this moment since she was a little girl," the 61-year-old wrote. "I assumed I would be walking her down. We hadn't even talked about it up until very recently. She brought it up to me a couple of days ago and I told her I wouldn't do it." The man liked his daughter's 29-year-old fiance, who had known the family since he and the daughter were both 20 years old. "It's been nice to have a relationship with a man I can take fishing and drink with since my daughters aren't into that type of thing. I could never ask for anyone better for my daughter. He's very respectful, has a good job and overall, he'd be the perfect man for her," the father shared.

Everything was good until the man saw his daughter in an unexpected setting. "She has always had a close friendship with our neighbor's son (28M). They haven't been seeing each other recently because my daughter moved away for school. But now, with wedding planning, she's been coming home almost every weekend to talk to her mother about wedding stuff," the dad revealed. "Maybe I've just been happy to have her around, so I didn't notice anything weird at first when she started hanging around our neighbor's son a lot more. I thought she was catching up until I started noticing he was the only old friend she had been seeing."

The man thought it was weird but brushed it off, thinking they were just childhood friends. But one day, when he returned home late after having drinks with his friends, he saw a car parked outside his driveway. "When I saw my daughter in the passenger seat kissing her childhood friend, I was disgusted. I got out of my car, leaving it in the middle of the street. I walked up to the passenger door, unsure of what to do. I knocked on the window to make sure she'd see me before going back to my car and going into the house," the dad expressed. "My daughter came into the house shortly after me and tried to tell me it was nothing. I'm not proud of this, but I did raise my voice at her. My heart is broken for her fiancé and I could never support infidelity. I told her I'd be telling her fiancé no matter how much I love him," he continued.

"She told me if I told him or anyone, she wouldn't see me as her father anymore. And it really hurt me to hear her say that. I didn't speak to her for the rest of the weekend," the dad went on. "This past weekend, she had come over again and her planning for her wedding. She asked me if I'd be walking her down the aisle. I told her I couldn't do it anymore, but I kept my reasoning vague since her mother and sister were with us." The man's other family and his daughter's fiance were now upset and he wondered if he has done something wrong. People took to the comments to support his decision and advised him what to do.

It's not right what she's doing - to you or to him." u/DatguyMalcolm commented, "Tell everyone. God forbid I catch my child in a similar situation. He can threaten me with disowning me for all I care, I don't support cheaters." u/MariaShoy97 remarked, "Infidelity is a serious breach of trust, and its important to hold your daughter accountable for her actions."
