some people like to go very far with their wedding proposals. After all, you only hope to do it very few times. Some people go for an intimate ask, some go for a more public display of affection, and some go all out and plan a full-on surprise event. Whichever route is taken, people tend to put a lot of thought into their proposals, and what they don't need is some insecure jerk trying to make a joke out of it all. At least it becomes clear who not to invite to the actual wedding.

    It was Reddit user u/throwaway_3688543 who asked the 'Am I The A-Hole' community if they were in the wrong for banning their stepdaughter's husband from their house for ruining their daughter's surprise proposal. THE AUDACITY.

    Font - Mt son inlaw Jerry (stepdaughter's husband) claims to be a jokester. he makes fun of every situation and always taunts and teases. He used to be funny but now he's just parroting internet memes and cliche jokes making everyone around him uncomfortable. He and my younger daughter (22) always in disagreement.she thinks he's not funny and he thinks she's unbearable.

    Before diving into the story, the OP provides some much-needed backstory. They begin by fully analyzing Jerry's character. Apparently ruining sweet moments is not an uncommon practice of his. How endearing.

    Font - Everyone was looking at him with question marks over their heads. My stepdaughter said nothing. He kept laughing and I told him to knock it off as I helped my daughter walk into the room. Once my daughter was seated Jerry started making comments as the event progressed:

    Font - I shouted "shut the hell up" he stopped and said he was just joking. I said he was being a disrespectful jerk to ruin the event with his "jokes". Then talked about how mean and nasty his jokes were and told him it was better if he shut up. Stepdaughter said it was no big deal when I offered that he leave. She swore he was just messing around and creating playful atmesphere but I took it seriously. But he essentially ruined my daughter's proposal. I told them I no longer want him to come o

    Font - Novel_Ad_7318 · 20h Partassipant [4] NTA. You're not favoring bio daughter. You kicked an annoying idiot out. Yeez, if he can't behave, he's no longerbinvited to come over, easy as that. Is that... i don't dare to say it... The consequences for his own damn actions? He's not even a jokester, he's a bully, dating "a fish" from the same "pond". G Reply 4 3.8k 3 ...

    Font - Affirmativerobot · 20h Partassipant [2] 3 4 Awards NTA Your husband is blatantly favoring HIS bio daughter by allowing her husband to harass and bully his stepdaughter (your daughter). If son in law can't be trusted to hold back his jokes for a moment like that, then there is no stopping him at any less serious moment. It's probably worse when you aren't around.

    Font - CatteHerder • 20h Partassipant [2] 1 Award NTA- this isn't favouritism, if anyone is showing favouritism it's your husband for shielding this asshole's incessant bullying. This shit isn't cute, or funny, it's flat out abusive. And your response to it was far more gentle than l'd have been able to muster under rise circumstances. Your husband is being an asshole. Your step son in law is a flaming fkn hemorrhoid, and everyone should be thankful for you putting some preparation H on that shi

    Font - Dangerfyeld · 20h Colo-rectal Surgeon [45] NTA. He craves attention and will do whatever is necessary to get it. He basically is doing the adult equivalent of what unruly toddlers do and trying to pass it off as "jokes" because he doesn't like being called out. Have your husband explain to your daughter why Jerry's "jokes" were more important than her engagement. G Reply 144 3 ...
