This is on behalf of a friend of mine. He has been in a relationship for close to 7 years now. HIs father built a new house a while back and they had a house-warming ceremony. Now, the thing is, he wanted to invite his fiance to the house warming ceremony. However, my friend's father thought that it was not the right time for the fiance to visit as everything was chaotic in the home and thought that she should visit once everything is arranged in a proper manner and he denied my friend's request. By the time my friend learnt about this, he had promised his fiance that she can attend the house warming ceremony. She wanted him to book the flight tickets for which he agreed. Now that he received the denial, he did not want to tarnish his father's image in front of his fiance and he stated that he could not get the tickets done due to the salary constraints. This in turn has led to so many arguments between the couple that the fiance is on the verge of ending the relationship. My friend has tried convincing her that salary was the exact reason. Is he the A for trying to save his father's image?

His father has no problems with the fiance and he has met her and treats her like a daughter.
