AITAH for not getting my fiance’s permission before getting my daughter’s hair cut?
I got reacently engaged to my fiance Ted. I have a 12 year old daughter with my late husband. I take her to the salon to get her a haircut once every six months. She has natural long hair and it grows out insanly fast. Plus, I use this opportunity to have my roots done as well.
Thing is Ted was pretty upset when he found out. I asked what was his problem since he never cared before. He said that yes when he was my boyfriend he didn’t want to overstep, but now it’s different because he’s basically her stepdad and should get a say in the matter. I argued about what say he could have and he said it was more about respecting his role and authority as a step-parent. I said he overeacted but he insisted this was a bad sign and an indicator of how his opinions will be steam-rolled in the future. I assured him that this wasn’t the case. Plus, this is a very trivial thing. He said this was his point exactly, if he doesn’t get a say in trivial things how much less his opinion will matter when it comes to big decisions. I told him my daughter’s choice is what matters at the end of the day. He said I was disrespectful and stormed out.
Hs’s been sulking about it for longer than he should. Frankly, I don’t understand what his problem is. I might be wrong for the way I kept dismissing his opinion. But I really thought this was no big deal.
