BM Vent! Updated! Finally resolved!!!

Original post by shelly3950

I have a BM- she has been my best friend since we were 13. Well she had a fling with this guy a year ago. It ended a few months later and they have been friends and hung out in groups ever since. My FH has become friends with him and the guy calls my FH at least once a week to hang out. He is FH only single guy friend. Sometimes we go out in a group- sometimes it is just them. He is still friends with some other mutual friends.

Now she has a very serious boyfriend who she will be engaged to in the next few months. (they met about 4 months ago) Her new boyfriend and my FH are good friends.

Last weekend she asked me not to invite the former fling b/c her current BF will be uncomfortable. (Personally I think it is her that will be uncomfortable). I told her that is FH's guest and that I will relay her feeligns to him, but it is his decision. I have to respect FH's guest list. She said OK. I told FH and he said he needs to think about it.

Today she asks me if we are inviting him. I told her that FH said he needs to think about it. We haven't even ordered invites yet!!! She tells me today that she is disappointed that he needs to think about it considering the things her current BF does for him (Like when his car broke down, her BF went and picked him up and drove him home). I explained the FH is very pensive adn thinks about everything, but hasn' t begun thinking about this yet because we haven't done our final list.

She is driving me nuts!!!


Thanks for letting me vent!

OK, so I talked to my friend. She never even spoke to her boyfriend about it. She was the one who would be uncomfortable and she thought he would be slightly uncomfortable because he knows they dated a few weeks.

She apologized to me. She doesn't want her past there, but she understands our position. She doesn't want to be around him all the time but she understands that this is my wedding and that is what is important. She didn't know why I didn't call her Friday night to discuss this when she sent me the e-mail.

Again, friendship and good communication wins out!!

I think she should get over herself - period.
Your wedding and your guest list is not about HER, it's about you and your FH ........
