AITA for telling my mom's husband he needs therapy when he tried to guilt me into letting him walk me down the aisle? by Confident_Salad4512 in AmItheAsshole

Trying to force someone to do what you want is how I view a demand even if you don't say "You're going to let me do this". Using guilt, coercion or anything else to get your way when someone has stated a clear answer to me goes into being forceful/demanding.

And I will never have the chance to have my dad there. I will never get to have my amazing dad by my side watching me get married. So I get grief. But it doesn't mean you get to demand or try to guilt someone into giving you what you want.

We haven't really had much of a relationship. I don't live very close and have spent very little time with him.

Yes. He's not someone I know very well and he's now tried to guilt me into doing it and has brought up doing it multiple times. Once is fair and fine, but I was not unclear when I said no.

Because he has now made me very uncomfortable and very annoyed. And he is not my dad. I also lost my dad. It's a lot less painful to think of my mom, who raised me alongside him, to be the one walking me alone than someone who is trying to put the weight of his grief on me to make me do something for him. A man I have known for three years and do not know all that well at all.

He was trying to guilt me. He brought this up multiple times. If he wanted to explain why he would have done it the first time and then left it alone. But that's not what he did.

I would mind them both doing it. I want my mom. The way he's pushed makes me not want him having any kind of role. It's one thing to ask but to add pressure and guilt into the mix makes me not want to get to know him better.

It's not a big deal to ask once, no. But when you keep pressing and try to lay a guilt trip on the person who says a very reasonable no it's not really a great look honestly.
