Affairs are so scandalous. The one thing that makes them even more scandalous is if pregnancies follow. In today's 'Am I The A$$hole?' post, OP reveals that he is the product of an affair. His dad's wife agreed to stay with the dad if he agreed that OP had nothing to do with the family, but OP and the dad still managed to maintain a close relationship over the years. When he discovered that his father passed away, OP tried to attend the funeral, figuring nobody would recognize him. Unfortunately, he was wrong. The wife somehow recognized him and interrupted the service to drag him out of the funeral home. He was super embarrassed, even though he had just as much of a right to be there as anyone else. The Redditors ultimately decided that the wife was in the wrong here. Scroll down for all the details.

    Font - Font - AITA for going to my dad's funeral against his widow's wishes? Not the A-hole So I'm the product of an affair. My dad's wife forgave him for getting my mom pregnant on the condition that she and their kids never have to see me or hear about me, and he couldn't see my mom. Even so, my dad was involved in my life right up until he died, and we were very close. After he died I contacted some of his family members (not his wife or kids, I didn't want to upset them) to ask if it would b

    Font - Font - his wife did recognize me (I don't know how) and she interrupted the service to drag me out of the building and yell at me for being there, and then when I tried to leave she followed me to my mom's car to yell at her. Now I'm embarrassed and guilty that I upset her and caused drama at the funeral and dragged my mom into it. My mom says I didn't do anything wrong cos I couldn't of known my dad's wife would know what I look like, but I'm not sure if she's just trying to make me feel

    The wife is so trashy for doing this at a funeral. She's definitely the AH in our books.

    Font - Font - Capital_Cow3540 · 22h 2 e 3 Partassipant [1] Even if the dad did not leave them anything OP has the right to an inheritance from their dad which they could sue for. Frankly, the way the family has treated OP makes me feel like they should do so. OP-the only person who was out of line was the wife. How dare she forbid you from attending your own fathers funeral and cause a scene like that? Totally insane and so cruel to not allow you to say goodbye, that's your dad you deserved to b

    Font - Thin-Union-7712 · 17h When my husband of 27 years divorced me he told me not to contact any member of his family. I abided by that until my darling MIL became ill and it was obvious she would not recover. I went to her funeral (uninvited) and sat in the back where I wouldn't disturb the family and paid my respects to my MIL. I loved her dearly and she was my mom for 27 years. No way was I going to miss saying good bye. Family didn't like it but I didn't care. I had just as much right to b

    Font - ExtremePotatoFanatic · 1d Partassipant [2] NTA. He is still your dad and that's an asshole move of her to kick you out of your own father's funeral. It's not your fault he cheated on his wife resulting in you being born. It's even worse that she did that because you actually had a relationship with him. It doesn't matter that she is grieving, what she did was malicious and attention seeking. She could've just let you sit in the back silently and ignored you but she chose to cause a scene.

    Font - Anzai · 19h I hate this sort of hypocrisy. Dad gets forgiven for what he did on some level, and the family continues on. OPs mother is hated for 'tempting' Dad away and is likely seen as a bad person, whereas Dad 'had a moment of weakness' or whatever else. And OP, who is literally blameless, committed the crime of even existing which is somehow more unforgivable than what Dad did, despite it being almost entirely his fault.

    Human body - TheBestCBHart · 19h She forgave the adult who made a choice, to punish and being angry at a child with no choice in the matter. She's a raging AH and I hope someone tells her such.

    Font - DrWhoop87 · 22h Certified Proctologist [21] She's the one who caused the scene, not OP. The fact that she stopped the funeral to single OP out was completely disrespectful. If anybody would have done that at my dad's funeral for any reason I would have chewed them out. She could have confronted him after the funeral or just just forgot it, I'm sure OP just tried to stay in the background anyways. NTA 1000x over.

    Font - Flaky_Tip · 21h She's also the one that decided to stay with him KNOWING he had another kid out there. She knew OP existed, she knew they had a relationship, wouldn't surprise me if she his that fact from her family. Sounds like she just wanted to rug sweep the whole thing and play perfect happy family.

    Font - DrWhoop87 · 21h Certified Proctologist [21] She could have had that too at this point. OP didn't sound like he brought any attention to himself, after that there would be no connection between him and dad's wife. She could have been rid of him forever but chose to make a scene and out her husband's affair baby in front of everyone.
