Today, my best friend told me she's been in love with me for over 4 years. I'm getting married to the man of my dreams in a month and she's supposed to be my bridesmaid. "Awkward" doesn't even begin to describe our friendship right now. FML

Today, my fiancé's best friend, who will be our best man at our wedding, decided to confess his feelings for me and tell me how he's always dreamed of us eloping together. The wedding is going to be awkward. FML
Today, I get to see my best friend and love of my life of two years marry the man she loves. Back then, I lied and told her I was gay to avoid her finding out my feelings for her. FML
Today, I watched my best friend get married to the guy I have been in love with since the eighth grade. I was the maid of honor, and had to give a toast to the couple. FML
Today, for the first time, I hugged the man I have been in love with for four years. It was a congratulatory hug at his wedding to my best friend. FML
Today, my best friend got engaged to the guy she's been seeing for five years. He also happens to be the man I've been in love with for eight. As she was giving me the details, she nonchalantly gave me her reason for accepting the proposal: "Why the hell not, there's always divorce." FML
Today, it was my best friend's wedding. The night ended with her in tears outside her hotel suite, where she confessed that she has a serious crush on me. I have a serious crush on her too. We're both straight women. I'm really confused. FML
Today, the love of my life said, "You’d make a great husband! Whoever marries you in the future is gonna be so happy!" We’ve been together for 4 years and was planning to propose on her birthday in two weeks. FML
Today, my best friend, the man who I've been in love with for nine years, finally told me he loves me and wants to spend the rest of his life with me. Unfortunately, it was while he was using me to practice proposing to his girlfriend. FML
Today, my best friend confessed to having feelings for me. I've been in love with her for a long time, so I was ecstatic. She doesn't see herself ever going out with me, though, because she's a couple of inches taller and can't imagine herself "towering" over her man. FML
Today, after three years of dating, my boyfriend finally proposed. To my best friend. FML

Wow she just picked the perfect freaking time to tell you that... Sorry you have to go through this right before your wedding, OP.

Respect her courage and realize this is tough for her to accept that her unrealistic hopes are now evaporating. Assuming she still wants to be your friend, be there for her so she will always be there for you.

The friend could have said it years ago. It was disrespectful of the friend to bring something like that up so close to the OP's wedding.

That's a tough one. I always try to maintain the idea that things are only awkward if you make them awkward. But good luck keeping it cool.

OP is female in case anyone didn't catch that... 100x more awkward.

bi people exist

Dump the guy and marry her instead. OBVIOUSLY she's more important simply because she's your best friend.
Mynxie 26
No? Why would she do that? It's obvious she doesn't have the same feelings. Why would she leave a man who she says is the man of her dreams.

I do believe that was sarcasm good sir/ma'am. Don't be a sheldon. There are too many Sheldons in this world that don't understand sarcasm. Unless you're being sarcastic. In that case, carry on.

"she's been in love with me" "to the man of my dreams" Either you're a straight woman who's got a lesbian best friend, or you're a gay man with a straight best friend. Regardless, you're in a weird situation o_O

Apparently, in your world, bisexual people don't exist.

OP is a (presumably) straight woman (the female indicator is by the name) getting married to a man, and she just learned that her best friend is gay/bi and in love with her. Yeah, maybe the friend should have said something earlier--like when OP got engaged or something, I don't know.
Mynxie 26
She was out of line to tell you something like that so close to your wedding. She only had her interests at mind when she told you. I'm sorry to hear she did something like that.

Bi people do exist, you know.
Mynxie 26
What does that have to do with my post?

Maybe she was looking sad and op asked what was wrong and that's when she told op that she was in love with her. We don't have enough information to determine whether she was selfish or "out of line."

Lol weren't there any hints she might have liked u??

Good for her! I'm sorry op, but I know what's it's like to have unspoken feelings, it hurts but it hurts worse when it's too late. Stay strong and you'll get through this.
Mynxie 26
Why is it good for her? She could have picked any time in the past to say it. She was selfish for picking a time so close to the OP's wedding day. I don't why people are saying good for her for being selfish and thinking of no one but herself.

Maybe she was scared and "Speak now or forever hold your peace". Maybe she wasn't positive the wedding would happen. We don't know, but she may have a valid, understandable reason for waiting so long. Stop being judgey.
