Awkward and Unusual Rift Between a Father and Son

mgm2 — Sun, 09 Mar 2014 22:14:23 GMT

An elderly Italian man couldn’t believe his eyes when he realized the escort girl he hired for a night turned out to be his future daughter-in-law.

Daily Mail reports that the 70-year-old from Treviso, Italy, was certain no one would find out about his arrangement when he booked a woman from the nearby city of Vicenza rather than employing a local service.

The plan backfired immensely when his son’s fiancée showed up at the door.

The 40-year-old from South America reportedly told the family that she was a waitress.

They decided it would probably be best not to have s-x.

Understandably, the old man had no choice but to reveal his discovery to his son, who of course did not take the news lightly.

The incident occurred four years ago but didn’t surface until earlier this month when the son first took legal action against his father.

The son is suing his father for unspecified “injuries,” but the hearing was postponed because the judge failed to broker a compromise for the two men.

Whether the son went ahead with the marriage or dumped the woman remains unknown.

If you were the father in this situation, what would you do? Do you admit to your son his fiancée’s secret, or do you make a pact with her to keep everything under wraps? It’s a tough position to be in, and considering how it all turned out, we bet the father regrets how he handled it.

Sounds like a soap opera. Don't worry, someone will get buried alive or disappear but then come back or turn out to be someone else and everyone's attention will divert to the newer circumstances and forget all about this lawsuit.

Isn't that the truth?

As far as revealing the secret, it's often true that "our secrets make us sick." I don't see how remaining quiet about something this serious could ever be a good thing or how it could be kept hidden away for a lifetime.

I guess the son was mad at the Dad for checking out the goods before he did!

Anyone remember the movie with Gina Lolabrigida (sp), Ernest Borgnine and Tony Franciosa? Almost the same plot but with a different scenario. Gina was a call girl who had been with the father (Borgnine) then she fell in love with the son (Franciosa). The movie wa set in the 60s and at the end, Gina killed herself.

I don't see that the father did anything wrong.

At least he had enough class to not have s * x with the girl and I imagine that most people would want to know if their fiancee is a prostitute. I would think the son needs to know.

Agree! I think the Son has "problems", probably suffering from Oedipus Complex from his infancy! Apparently he couldn't handle The Truth (that his fiancé was an escort, or that his Father was still "sociable")!!

His Dad (bless his heart) tried to do the right thing... I can't fault him for that!

I think the father did the right thing. The son suing is ridiculous. How could he think his life would be better not knowing. It probably was only a matter of time before she was found out.

I hope that dad isn't still married to his son's mom ..talk about awkward!

Were I the dad, I would probably have told future daughter in law that I would give her two weeks to come clean with the husband to be or I would have no choice but to tell him myself.

I think the father should have insisted that the girl tell his son what she was doing, before he told him she should have told on her self. If she chose not to tell then the Dad did the right thing.

I agree. He did the right think on all counts and the son needs to get over the possibility that maybe he just has lousy judgement.

This is kind of like the scenario brought up occasionally on these boards, "Do you tell your best friend that her/his spouse is cheating on him/her?" The response usually is not to tell them because they might already know about it, and you could end up being the villain. Or that it's no one's business anyway.

In this case, it involves a family member, but is it any different? Maybe the son knew about his fiancee but agreed with her to keep it quiet? Reason: maybe he doesn't care, maybe they want the extra money...who knows? I wonder if she told him whether or not his son knew.

For what it's worth, I'd tell the son.
