Guaranteed Human. My dad is marrying my ex and has no idea that we dated. And now he wants my blessing for their wedding. God, I'm going to predict that O.P. is not the A-Hole because this is just too much of a mess. Like, are you kidding me? I can't imagine my dad dating one of my exes. Yoinks. This is all such a mess. I really don't know how I'm supposed to feel about it. I wouldn't either, OMP. First of a backstory, my dad isn't my biological father. He and my egg donor started dating when I was two and got married when I was four. And then got divorced when I was 16. Honestly, I was far closer to my dad than I was to my

egg donor. And my egg donor would regularly abuse both of us. After the divorce, he tried to stay

in touch with me, but my egg donor purposely isolated him from me because she was so mad that he

finally became confident enough in himself to escape from her abuse. She was able to get a protective order in place on both of us to completely limit contact

after the divorce and then financially blackmailed me to continue to isolate me from him

while she paid for my college.

So basically, the not mom egg donor was like, I'm not paying for your college unless you

abide by my rules.

Yeah, yeah. As soon as I graduated from college when I was 21, I'm not paying for your college unless you abide by my rules. Yeah.

Yeah. As soon as I graduated from college when I was 21, I completely cut off contact with her and reached out to him again. Even though it had been five years since we last spoke, I was very happy to have him in my life again. Wow. My ex-girlfriend and I dated while I was in college. I was pretty low key about the relationship because I was pretty sure if my mom found out I was a lesbian, she would cut me off completely. We started dating when I was 18 and dated for almost three years. I also never told my dad about her since we broke up only a few months after we reconnected. He did comfort me through the breakup, but he never met her or really knew anything about her. That brings us

to last night. My dad and I have a standing dinner date for every other Wednesday, but we've both

been busy for the last month. So I haven't seen him since Thanksgiving. He told me that he would be

bringing his girlfriend to tag along. And I have to admit that I was both sad because it wouldn't

be just the two of us like it normally is, but I was also excited to finally beat her.

Unfortunately, once I reached the restaurant, I'm absolutely floored to see my dad sitting there with my ex-girlfriend.

I'm absolutely shocked to see them together.

And when my dad introduces her to me, he introduces her as his fiance.

Oh, God. And tells me, he introduces her as his fiance. Oh, God.

And tells me that he wanted me to be the first to know.

Apparently, they got engaged two weeks ago, but haven't told anyone except for her parents,

who I've even met before.
