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 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 about no?

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).
