best man...not the best??

Ok girls! This might be long but it is something that bothers me. It also might come across as something highschool-ish but, here it goes...

So FHs best friend D has been prob 'THE' main area of arguementsin our relationship. When FH and I started dating D was not very fond of me...he aparently talked alot behind my back and tried to cause a fight any way he could. FH worked in alot of the clubs on LI before we dated and after he met me we started hanging out and doing other things...I think that he resented me because of this but I NEVER made him uncomfortable I even invited hom to my house whenever we had friends over. He continuosly did things to hurt me ( even after I tired to be nice to him) FH didnt know how to handle this situtation and did not really stick up for me when he should have..which is where the problem lies. FH has shown me multiple times that he cant be trusted when he is with D because D has this magical influence over him. (example- superbowl sunday. I had people over.. told FH invite D if he wnts. D was coming. I found out the night before that D wanted FH to drive him to my house! I was like I dont need him here early with you. I need you here to HELP me get things ready.. plus if he comes w/ you WE cant relax together after the game..let him come himself or with someone else. superbowl morning i called FH and was liek you took care of D right and hes like well D said he doesnt care he will come early! I was like thats not the point I dont want him here early bc then you wont be helping me tell him to come when everone else is coming...fastfoward.. i call FH to tell him he doesnt have to go to the foodstore any more and hes like ok WE are on the way...im like WE??? yup, thats right girls...he ignored me and picked D up anyway) Ok now that you understand what we are dealing with here... well it happens that D is our BESTMAN!! Im not goign to tell FH who can and cant be his best man...but of all people?? the one person that is a constant source of stress!! not to mention he never liked me when we were dating..now hes our bestman! HA!
I know that FH is more of the prob then D is at this point but we have had multiple multiple X infinity talks about this issue and I just give up...FH says if i dont want him to be friends with him then he wont be...but I DONT want to be that person!! I want them to stay friends I just want FH to respect me around D!! SOO what do you gurls think of this totally F**ked up situation??? next time it happens should I finallt put my foot down and tell FH im done with D hes not the best man...or do I continue to just deal with it???
Does anyone else have a best man that they arent fond of???

i'm not fond of our BM but its FHs brother... so i dont have a choice. You need to put ur foot down and tell FH if this contiunes then u will not have D as the best man. Its not right for u to be going threw all of this.

OMG that's terrible! i'm so sorry. sometimes certain men can bring out a different side of the FH's. a side that might have existed before they had future wives. in any case, you're right. it's wrong to say not to be his friend. but honestly, this is your big day and BM is a very significant role. i think it should be someone who cares for BOTH of you and is HAPPY that FH is marrying you, not someone who never cared for you in the first place. i don't think it would be wrong to tell FH how you feel and if a situation like this arises again, it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world to respectfully ask FH to change his BM.

I know you said that you've talked to FH a million times already lolz.. but I would try to really let him know how your feeling about it. And I would put more blame on him when your talking to him. Say that even though you don't like D ( ) that its really HIM That is the problem and that you hate how he listens to D over you. I know FH prob thinks its no big deal and that he doesn't really know that he is hurting you because you prob let him slide so hes taking the easy way out. D sounds like the annoying type that if FH doesn't do what he is saying he'd nag him til no end until FH caves. So maybe now you have to become the naggin one? At least for a little while! lolz

Re: best man...not the best??

Ugh, that does stink. Is there any way that he would pick someone else?????

GRRRR to them....guys can be oh so annoying at times because, well, they DONT GET IT!! He saw it as YOU not wanting D to come over. YOUR point was that u wanted ALONE TIME with him AFTER!

They really are missing a part of their brain. I sware by it...

Yeah like someone said above...Sit FH down and explain that youhave come to the conclusion that its not D that you have the problem with, but its FH when he is with D...maybe he takes D's side with things bc he feels like he HAS to defend him bc you feel strongly against him. It is possible that if you turn the tables to putting the blame on good ole FH, then he will stop defending D so much (or letting him have that magic power over him)...I dont know... just an idea
But bottomline is that you cannot feel like this, its not right! Also, I think into the future and if this guy D really doesnt like you and you cant trust him... then what happens when D plans the bachelor party ughhhhhhhhhhhhh

Good luck ... let us know what happens

ps .. its NOT high schoolish!

You need to seriously talk to your FH abt it. Don't fight....TALK....explain that this 'D' person really hurts your feelings. I don't care how it sounds if this continues to be an issue I would tell FH he can't be friends w/ him.

Thats JMO though.
