Dad Says No To Be Guarantor On The Lease For Son With Roommates Because He Wasn't Consulted First
This dad (OP) and his son are having a bit of a disagreement. The son just finished college and wants to go far away for his master's degree. While the OP suggested a more affordable option, his son insisted on doing what he wanted.

He said no because he got worried about essential financial issues, and this upset both the son and the dad's wife. What happens next?
