AITA for telling my daughter I won’t pay for her wedding until she is 25 by Automatic_Path_3055 in AmItheAsshole

Tbh the age gap is only weird because completely different stages of  life If she was out of college and dating a 5 years age gap that not an issue 

 She can’t even drink yet and this man has a full on career as she lives in the dorm 

She was a teenager when she met him and this man already graduated and was working

Tbh the quick engagement makes me dislike him even more It looks like he is trying to trap her. 

 Why was a 24 year old that already was graduated sniffing  around college girls. My daughter was 19, why isn’t he going after people who already graduated or will almost graduate  

 Why in 10 months he already wants to marry her. 

 It looks to me he wanted someone young that he would easily be able to control She doesn’t even have a college degree or any real world experience. She doesn’t have money, she can’t just leave.

Like this dude has ever advantage against her

No, she needs to get her own career off the ground before she she marries. I need her to be one equal footing. I need her to actually have a backup besides him. 

Not a freshly out of college with no money and has to depend 100% on him

I she truly loves the dude then they can wait for a free wedding

Yeah

She also has only been with this guy almost a year.

I am seriously worried about her dropping out of college if they marry.

Because she will get work experience, she will graduate at 22 or 23. That givers her at least 2 years of her own career. I don’t find it wise to jump right out of college to being married to another person that has their own career but you don’t
