A man has claimed he's uninvited his best friend from his wedding following a dispute as to whether the pal's girlfriend who is the groom's ex, could come as well. The soon-to-be married man took to Reddit to explain that he moved abroad seven years ago and really wanted to see his mates on his special day, just not one of his ex girlfriend's as well.
The groom, who decided to remain anonymous, explained in the post: "I broke things off with my ex of about 1.5 years just before moving abroad.
"She was controlling and I wasn’t in the right space to be in a serious relationship so had to do what was best for me."
He has now been with his current partner for six years and they are getting married early next year but the ex is now dating one of his best friend's back home.
"One of my best friends back home recently (6 months or so) started dating said ex," explained the author of the post.
"I initially told him about the wedding and made sure he would be able to get time off work to come over for it. When he told me he is now with my ex, I didn’t have a problem."
However, the friend then asked if he could bring the ex girlfriend to the wedding as a plus one.
Neither of the happy couple think it is a good idea to bring the ex along with him so they have taken back the invite from him, as he refused to come without her..
He said: "He was told he can come but without her, said he wouldn't, so was not sent the formal invite."
In response, many have been quick to support the author and say it is not right to have the ex there.
One person wrote: "I think it's pretty standard to not want an ex at your wedding, unless you happened to break up on really good terms. Even then it's still a bit dodgy because it's a bit unfair on the spouse to be."
While another person wrote: "I don't understand why everyone is questioning you not wanting your ex at your wedding."
