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

Why would the ex even want to be a bridesmaid? It just sounds like a whole lot of bat shit crazy and an all around terrible idea. FYL OP

My ex said the same thing. He wanted all his exes as bridesmaids and really wanted to be in their weddings also. So messed up. IMO, once you truly commit to someone, exes have no place in the picture, much less at YOUR wedding.

On my friend's wedding day, he didn't have any of his ex's there, no matter how good of friends he was with them, just out of respect for his new wife.

I would hear what he has to say about the reasoning behind this decision but unless it's something like "she promised to buy us our dream home" the answer is gonna be no.

#35 I think it depends on how much you care about weddings. I don't care for them but if it means someone's gonna buy me a 300k home then by all means, let's have one.

Compromise. Tell him she can come to the wedding but it's not up to him decide if she should be the bridesmaid or not.

Too bad it isn't his choice who YOUR bridesmaids are

Tell him "fine, but my ex has to be a groom"

If they are really close friends I don't see why he doesn't choose her as a grooms. Bridesmaids are the brides closest friends and grooms men are the guys closest. I don't see anything wrong with her being on his side. Sometimes close friends try dating and it isn't for them. This could be the case.

Grooms MEN #41. Grooms men are boys not girls. OP is a girl so I'm guessing he is straight. Plus he wants his ex to be a bridesmaid so there's a good chance it's a girl. So no she cannot be a grooms MEN.

Actually, a girl CAN be a grooms man, would just be considered a grooms woman.

Well, what if they wanted a more traditional wedding?

You're bridesmaids are supposed to be your support system. Unless you have an agreement where he gets to pick one bridesmaid and you get to pick one groomsmen, then I would tell him that won't be happening. Explain calmly that you have a lot of friends to choose from as is and you would like to have someone there who will be supporting and helping you throughout the wedding planning process.

If this is the same situation as me I can understand. My best friend is my ex. He was a year before we dated and still 3 years later. We tried dating and It wasn't for us. We are one of the most important people to each other. If it's the same, he should have her as one of the grooms, not a brides.

They make tuxedos for women. He could have her as a groomswoman.

I've always wondered about different genders being the brides/groomspeople.
