My son (23) got engaged a few months ago. Recently, he admitted to me that he had been texting with a girl he met on Tinder. That alone already shocked me… he’s engaged, and that’s obviously not acceptable behavior.
But here’s the twist: the girl on Tinder was actually his fiancée. She made a fake account to “test” whether he would stay loyal – and when he flirted back, she confronted him.
Yes, what my son did was messed up. But creating a whole fake profile to trap your partner? That’s manipulation. If you have to run sting operations to trust your fiancé, maybe you shouldn’t be getting married.
After learning this, I told my son I wouldn’t be paying for the wedding anymore. I don’t want to support a marriage that already starts with lies and games from both sides.
Some people in the family say that I’m overreacting and punishing both of them.
