Input: So I (M25) just bought my engagement ring today. I've been searching for it for quite a while but hadn't found the right one. A week ago I finally choose one and decided to go and buy it before the end of the month (they had 20% off until March the 31st, lol). In all the time between starting the search and buying it I never involved my father in any way, hell, he doesn't even know I wanna get married next year.

Now, onto the why...7 years ago my father cheated on my mother and they parted ways. Since then he hasn't made any effort in spending time with us and has always been distant, not interested in my family, and not much of a father in any way. So I guess my reasoning is, if he's not interested in being involved in my life, why should I try to involve him?

I tried calling him during the hunt but out of 10 calls he ignored 8 and the other two paid almost no attention to what I was saying and never had the chance to tell him about the ring.

I feel kinda hurt because I would like to believe that buying your engagement ring is a once in a lifetime decision and it should be shared with your family to have their advice and help you find the right one, but he doesn't seem to care about me our my soon-to-be fiancée so I just left him out of this.

AITA? Should I tell him something? I still need to pick it up because it needs adjusting (GF has big hands, lol), should I try and tell him to come with me to pick it up?
