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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my girlfriend confessed that she'd leave me for her ex in a heartbeat. Tomorrow is, or should I say "was", our wedding day. FML
Today, I found out that my boyfriend's mother still calls his ex-girlfriend her "future daughter-in-law". FML
Today, my ex-girlfriend proposed to me, at my wedding. FML
Today, my fiancé's ex-wife thought it was perfectly acceptable to give herself a part in our upcoming wedding. She wants to "give" him away to me, the same way a father does to a bride. Apparently, I'm being unreasonable and selfish for denying her request. My fiancé told me to at least think about it. FML
Today, my fiance said his cat is going to be my maid of honor at our wedding. FML
Today, my ex-boyfriend got married. Normally this wouldn’t bother me at all, had his bride not been the girl we constantly argued about all the time during our relationship. The one he “swore on his grandma’s grave he would never see that way.” Oh, and we broke up 7 months ago. FML
Today, my brother announced his engagement. I'm going to be the Maid of Honor. My ex, who told me after five years of dating that he didn't believe in marriage, is going to be the Best Man. I get to walk down the aisle with him. FML
Today, my ex husband is marrying my sister. FML
Today, I was looking at the annoucements in the newspaper and find out that my boyfriend of the past 6 years is supposed to be married in 2 days to what I thought was his ex-girlfriend. 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

I take it you're not getting married then

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

Maybe, his ex dumped him and he wants her there to rub it in her face that he found someone better than her and now he is getting married while she is single.

Not all exs are bad, it could have been a mutual thing and both agreed to be friends still. Which is fair enough

i dont understand why its soo bad, a lot of exs become good friends afterwards, if he wants her to be a bridesmaid then his ex must not be jelous and they are friends... if he wanted to cheat with her ot still wanted her then he would go about it differntly id think...

Well if he is still on good terms with his ex he should have her as part of his groomsmen, IF OP would be okay with that. Bridesmaids are supposed to be people that the bride is close to, not someone asked out of obligation. Tbh I would be very offended if my partner suggested this and I am pretty easy going. My best friend is male and I know when the time comes he will be part of my "bridesmaids", I won't be forcing my partner to take him on as a groomsman. It is no longer unusual to have people of the opposite sex stand with you.

The bride gets to choose who her bridesmaids are.

While it is weird that he said that, I don't think there is much harm in it. Realistically, her being a bridesmaid would just cause some awkwardness. And OP could always try to convince him otherwise! I think if she were to not marry the guy just because he's good friends with his ex than thats a bit of an overreaction. Of course if he showed any signs of still having feelings for her, then I would understand. But I think he might just be good friends with her still, and doesn't realize that it's a bit weird for him to want her as a bridesmaid! OP and him should definitely have a discussion about it before making any irrational decisions.

#15 while it's fine to be friends with your ex, there is no reason to have them be in your wedding. Especially making the girlfriend have her on her side. Bridesmaids are supposed to be her friends and family, not the grooms ex girlfriend.

#15 if a wedding is suppose to be one of the greatest days of your life, why would you want any awkwardness?

Maybe, my ex girlfriend is my best friend and I'd have her at my wedding. It's important to me that any girl I'm with can accept that were close. We closed that's door years ago. And If my future fiancée can't accept that then we'd have problems

While sometimes an ex really is just a friend, this is kinda weird..
laden_swallow09 35
Huh? How does he even come to that conclusion? Please, OP, give more context.
ameliaruth09 15
no...just no
gherty 15
Isn't that up to you to decide?
_mocha1_ 10
At least he's not marrying her
saraitkddh 47
he doesn't look like he will marry OP either, so she is better off without him to find someone who deserves her

#47 why do you think he doesn't her.

Id probably punch him for even suggesting or thinking that. Absolutely ******* not! What an idiot!
