Today, my long-term boyfriend said that if we ever finally get married, his ex-girlfriend will definitely have to be a bridesmaid. FML

Tell him that that's fine, as long as you can find another groom

Maybe he would have wanted her there to get revenge or something? As in, show her that you are the girl he wants and not her anymore. Depends how he said it.

Sounds like he is still attached to her?! How long have u two been dating? That's awful OP, maybe time to reassess why your with him and if you should stay together? Besides doesn't the bride usually get to choose the bridesmaids?

How long ago did they date and are they still close friends? I could understand him wanting someone who he cares about to be in the bridal party, but if you aren't comfortable with it then he should listen to you. I would consider it a red flag only if he was still in love with her.

If my GF thought she could choose my friends, then she would be the one dumped, not the friend.

Tell him fine as long as you ex-boyfriend can be the best man.

My ex is my absolute best friend and has been for the past five years. We talk everyday, despite living cross-country, and there are no romantic feelings involved. If I ever get married, my friend will be in the wedding party, no questions asked. And I'd be completely devastated if I couldn't attend his. It's extremely controlling and insecure of you to try and pick-and-choose who your boyfriend spends his time with if he hasn't given you any reason to distrust him. The ex is an ex for a reason. He's with you. Let him have his friend at the wedding - it's his day too.

I don't think OP is against the idea of her boyfriends ex at the wedding, just the idea of her as a bridesmaid. I think it was rude of the boyfriend to suggest that, not really thinking of OPs feelings about it. I wouldn't want someone picking and choosing who my bridesmaids were.

Let me explain to you how extremely AWKWARD it is to have your partner's ex around especially at your wedding. You maybe best friend's with your ex and that's fine but consider your partner's feelings. I'm in a relationship and no I don't mind if my boyfriend has friends that are girls but if we ever do get to the point of marriage and he suggests that his ex should be part of the wedding then that would worry me because it's like your old flame is there and those 2 shared an intimate bond once and a wedding is bonding 2 people together. OP may not mind that her partner and ex are friends but out of total respect there should be absolutely no ex's if OP is uncomfortable with the idea

the situation you are describing only happens every once in a while...99% of women do NOT want their boyfriends ex's anywhere near them..its just not cool. while I am glad you and your ex have a good relationship..you can't apply how it worked out for you and think everyone else is wrong for not doing the same!!

Wow! I hope he meant that innocently like, "So I can rub it in that bitch's face how awesome I have it!" But even then, what an idiot.

The bride should always be able to pick her bridesmaids freely(same with the groom and his groomsmen).
