To invite or not to invite...

So, my friend started dating this guy a few months ago who she swears she's getting engaged to this summer and is moving in with (mind you, she says this about every guy she has dated in the last 5 years, he's the one a week after the meet, etc.)

Anyways, this guy is obnoxious, makes a scene when drunk (which is often) and pretty much no one likes him. I was planning on inviting my friends w/ dates, only if they had been dating for a while. Well, basically the ones who are invited with dates so far are ones that have been dating over a year, are already engaged/married, or I know pretty well. This is the only one I don't know well... and I'm really afraid of them making a scene (did I mention that my friend is a drama queen and doesn't like not being the center of attention?)

Anyways, should i invite her with him, or just say that i had to cut my guest list down so i couldn't invite her with a guest?

Geeze, I feel like such a b*tch

Sticky situation. On the one hand there's the fear of offending your friend but on the other hand - this guy seems to have a really bad reputation. I definitely think your concern is valid - I would worry too. Just not sure what advice to give...let's think about expectations and managing them....

How do you think your friend will react? Will she be the only one at the table who's BF wasn't invited?

Hmm tough one. Well you have a little time, I would wait to see what happens before making a final decision.

I agree. I have a similar situation and Im just going to wait until the very last moment to make the decision. Im giving her every second I can for them to break up!

hmm, she wouldn't be the only one at the table without a date... I had originally said that i wasn't going to invite anyone with a date unless they had been dating for at least 6 months, which is right around what they would be... Though, he apparently told our friend's fiance that her ideas of them getting engaged/moving in together are much faster than what he was hoping. So she might scare him away (she has done that mulitple times).

It's just so hard to judge, because she exaggerates a lot to get attention and is very competative with everything...

But I just had my roommates begging me not to invite him cuz they don't want to have to deal with him for the weekend at the hotel... ugh.
