AITA for telling my daughter I'm not lending her money for a wedding I think is a mistake?
me (57F), bar owner, divorced. my daughter (29F) is getting married in march to a man she's known nine months. she's asked me for 8,000. i've got it, roughly, and it's most of what i've got. i said no. and then, because she asked why, i told her the truth, which is that i think nine months is not long enough and that i've watched her do this before — not marry, but move in fast twice and both times it ended badly and both times i helped pay for the moving out. she said i've never once been happy for her. i've been happy for her plenty. i've also paid for two rentals she left inside a year. my ex says i should give her the money and keep my mouth shut because she'll do it anyway and this way she still speaks to me afterwards. he's probably right about the outcome. i just can't make myself pay for it.
