NTA but I probably would have made a little effort to include him in a way that doesn't put him on a dad level

He’s not your dad and hasn’t parented you so no you absolutely do not need to do that.

My parents have been separated for the last 16 years. You can either choose to have a good relationship with your step parents or you can absolutely sour those relationships if you’d like

And the stepparents can very well sour the relationship as well. It takes two to tango

if someone isn’t comfortable treating someone as a father figure, they shouldn’t have to

Like if this new dude is a bad person or treats ur mom wrong then I get it. But if you’re gonna refuse a positive relationship w them just bc you’re grown that’s ridiculous
