Surgeon’s Son Struggles with Dad’s Scandalous Second Marriage!
Well, well, well… looks like this surgeon’s son is in quite the pickle! His dad left his mom for a co-worker, and now he’s getting hitched to his new boo. But a poorly timed joke about cheating at work has our conflicted kid questioning whether he should even attend the wedding. It’s a classic case of a dad trying to be funny but totally missing the mark. The son is understandably pissed, considering his mom was left humiliated by the affair. But the new fiancée thinks he’s being too sensitive. So, what do you think? Should he suck it up and support his dad’s happiness, or stand his ground and skip the ceremony? Let’s see what the internet has to say about this juicy drama!
