Three graduations is an amazing achievement. Three weddings is two mistakes followed by a triumph of hope over experience. They are not at all the same!

Exactly.

Yeah that wouldn’t sit right me either!
sounds like he’s jealous which isn’t a great trait in a supposedly grown man.

To be fair to him, three different graduation photos is excessive. If she'd had three wedding ceremonies I doubt you would have photos from each of them up in the house!

Excessive? To be proud of your child's achievements? What a bizarre attitude

Well he's a catch isn't he ? If someone said that to me I'd be inclined to add more . !

I assume she’s not his daughter? I assume it’s not his house? I assume he’s an utter cock?

+1. You need to ditch him OP, he will try to come between you and your daughter.

He ought to have been sent packing tonight.

That is a horrible thing to say.

Seachanger · 14/04/2025 22:10

It sounds as though he is jealous of your daughter- the photos must be reminding him she is cleverer than him!
It was a really unpleasant remark OP.
