Woman Refuses to Let Boyfriend Go to Wedding Where ‘Psychotic’ Ex Is a Bridesmaid
A woman on Reddit explained why she does not want her boyfriend to go to a wedding where his "psychotic" ex-girlfriend is a bridesmaid.
"Me and my boyfriend Sam have been together for a year and a half. We broke up last summer for two months but got back together. During our break, Sam met up with his ex-girlfriend Rachel, whom he had dated for four years prior to our relationship. They only met up once, and nothing came of it; however, Rachel still has feelings for Sam and was hoping they would rekindle things. Rachel was enraged and threw a fit whenever she found out that me and Sam got back together. She sent him a lot of really nasty messages and continued to do so for several months afterward, even though he never responded to her," the woman began.
"Rachel and Sam both have mutual friends who are getting married. They were both asked to be bridesmaids and groomsmen in the wedding. In February, Rachel asked the bride if it would be okay if Sam did not have a plus one for the wedding because 'she wouldn't be able to handle seeing him with anyone else.' Whenever Sam found this out, he immediately contacted both the bride and groom. They assured him that Rachel's request would not have an impact on the decision for a plus one. Since then, she has still continued to try to reach out to Sam, including going as far as contacting me via Instagram regarding the upcoming wedding. She started to harass me and even admitted that contacting me was for her own self-gain," the woman continued.
Rachel even tried to start trouble with the woman and her boyfriend following their friends' engagement party.
"At 3AM that night, Rachel texted Sam yet again, degrading both of us. She told Sam the he was not going to be getting a plus one to the wedding and to not make a fuss about it like last time. I found the comment odd because invitations have not been sent out yet. Why is she the one telling him this instead of the bride or groom? Regardless, Sam finally responded to Rachel and told her to never contact us again," she wrote.
A few months later, Sam finally received his official invitation, without a plus one. When he asked about it, the groom said they had to prioritize couples who had "been together longer, live together, and/or who both know the bride and groom" due to their budget."
"I know 100 percent that a wedding should only be about the bride and groom and what they want. If they don't want Sam to have a plus one, that is their call. But I'm not entirely convinced that Rachel did not have a part in the decision.She is a lot closer to the bride than Sam is to the groom," the woman explained.
After that, she asked her boyfriend to not go to the wedding at all, even thought it would mean him dropping out as a groomsman.
"The only reason I feel uncomfortable with him going is due to the relentless harassment about the wedding by Rachel. If she had been respectful and left us alone, I would have no problem with him going without me; however, that was not the case. She has continuously disrespected me, my boyfriend, and our relationship. She has no clue what a boundary is. I just want this to be over," she shared.
