She’s Supposed To Be Her Best Friend’s Maid Of Honor, But She Doesn’t Even Want To Attend The Wedding Anymore Because Her Fiancé Is Rude
This 23-year-old woman’s best friend, Emily, is engaged and will be tying the knot in just a few months.
She and Emily have known each other since middle school, and throughout their friendship, they have always been there for each other. That’s why she is supposed to be Emily’s maid of honor.
“However, there’s a huge problem: I don’t get along with her fiancé, John,” she said.
According to her, she and John have always had a rocky relationship. She thinks that he’s rude and dismissive, sometimes even making jokes and snide remarks at her expense.
In the past, she tried to brush his behavior off for the sake of her friend, too. But, over time, that’s become harder and harder.
“And I’ve spoken to Emily about it a few times, but she always downplays his behavior, saying he’s just joking or that he’s stressed,” she recalled.
Well, she finally hit her breaking point a few weeks ago when they all went out for dinner. During the meal, John started throwing jabs at her job – claiming that she didn’t have a “real” career.
She finally decided to speak up for herself and confronted him on the spot, too. Yet, John just laughed her off, and Emily tried to calm the whole situation down. Still, she was left feeling really angry and humiliated.
So, ever since that night, she’s been actively avoiding attending any hangouts that involve John.

“I feel like I can’t be myself around him, and it’s causing me a lot of stress and anxiety,” she explained.
“Now, with the wedding approaching, I’m dreading the thought of attending. I don’t want to be there and pretend everything is fine when it’s not.”
Recently, she voiced her feelings to Emily again, too, and admitted that she was considering skipping the wedding altogether because of how uncomfortable John makes her feel.
Emily didn’t understand her perspective, though, and was really hurt. Emily believes that, as her best friend, she should be there to support her on the big day. Plus, Emily claimed it would look bad if she didn’t show up, given she’s the maid of honor and is worried about what the other guests might think.
Now, she’s been left in a pretty impossible situation because she genuinely loves her best friend and wants to be there for Emily’s wedding.
“But I also need to take care of my own mental health,” she vented.
And while some of their mutual friends understand where she’s coming from, others believe she’s acting selfish, and she can just get over her feelings for one day.
So now, she really doesn’t know if no longer attending her best friend’s wedding anymore is justified or would make her a jerk.
Why do you think her best friend would want to marry a guy who’s so rude to her? Would you want to attend a wedding if the groom made you uncomfortable? What should she do?
