Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : Good thing I found this sub Reddit cause i'm feeling a little bit of an A hole right now. Title pretty much explains the post. Now, all personal views on if asking for a parent's blessing is outdated (or sexist or what the hell ever), I'm just wondering if I am in the wrong here. I asked my GF's mom for her blessing first to marry her daughter instead of the father first. The reason(s) being is that:

My GF is a hell of a lot closer to her mom than her dad. Her dad is still in the picture and married to her mom but she wasn't really close to him. I mean her mom practically raised her by herself for most of her younger years (the split after they had her for a couple years), and even when he came back they did not get along well at all, she tells me they are MUCH better now but I can't judge since I wasn't there her whole life.

Her dad a lot of the times can be immature...I mean really immature...I mean border line Peter-Pan syndrome. Not like the weird "innocent" Michael Jackson type stuff, more like he never grew out of Sophomore year high-school type personality, even though he is pushing close to 50 fast. And with it comes some really D-bag moments that personally tick me off but I don't say anything cause I feel it isn't my place.

AITA for almost entirely avoiding asking the dad for his blessing? I only asked him after her mom said it would mean a lot to the dad. And when I let it slip accidentally that I asked the mom first he was really surprised and that made for an awkward situation.
