Today, my parents told me they won’t be attending my wedding, all because my fiancée is the woman I cheated on my ex with and left her for. What they fail to understand is that people and hearts change. It wouldn’t be fair to remain by my ex’s side while being in love with someone else. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my best friend refuses to attend my wedding, all because I’m marrying her ex. He left her for me but didn’t cheat. We just fell in love and he had the decency to leave the relationship before starting to date me. She refuses to understand that no matter how hard I try to explain. FML
Today, my whole family turned on me because I absolutely refused to attend my son's wedding, even though he really wanted me to walk him down the aisle. He married the woman he cheated on his ex-wife with, and abandoned their kids. That's why I refused to attend. FML
Today, my parents are so in love with my ex, they still think it’s my fault she felt unloved enough to cheat with another man. They constantly try to convince me to take her back and become stepdad to the child she conceived with the guy she cheated on me with. FML
Today, my fiance told me that he no longer loves me, that he still has feelings for an ex. The wedding is off and he needs the ring back to give to the right woman. FML
Today, the woman I've loved for 15 years and had children with told me she's remarrying to the man she cheated on me with. Since her father passed last year, she wants me to give her away at the wedding. FML
Today, my fiancé of 5 years left me for classmate of his. He says he feels more chemistry and a deeper connection with her, and if he moved forward with the wedding (most of which is non-refundable), he’d be marrying the wrong person, and it “wouldn’t be fair” to me. FML
Today, my dad planned his wedding to his mistress for literally the day after his divorce from my mom becomes final. My dad says he’ll be devastated if I don’t go, while my mother will feel betrayed if I do. I’m not sure who to hurt. FML
Today, I sadly had to tell my fiancé of 3 years that I realized I’m a lesbian and not really attracted to men, and therefore I called off the wedding. He decided to retaliate and out me to my very Christian parents, who are unhappy campers right now. “Unhappy” is an understatement. FML
Today, my mom told me that I will never see my siblings again because I refused to attend her wedding to another woman. FML
Today, my ex-wife, whom I divorced just 8 months ago, asked me to attend her wedding, because "it would mean a lot" to her. She's marrying the man she cheated on me with. FML

Either way, you still CHEATED. The proper thing would have been to BREAK UP with the now ex THEN start a relationship with the woman you now love and intend to marry. Had you just dumped the now ex and started dating your now fiancee, I'm sure your parents would not have an issue (unless they genuinely just don't like your fiancee). I think the issue was with the fact that you cheated and are now trying to justify it. Cheaters are the worst!

Then you should have broke off the relationship like an adult instead of cheating on her. Your parents are in the right to not attend your wedding (which is laughable in the first place, like you wouldn't cheat on your wife later "if your heart changes"). Resounding YDI.

Your parents seem to be people of value. That find honesty important enough to miss their own son's wedding for. How did you turn out to be someone who thinks cheating is ok!?!? Change of heart happens, but then you break up BEFORE moving on to the next person!

And if you hadn't cheated, you wouldn't have known the other woman well enough to "fall in love" with her. Once a cheater, always a cheater!

Also, "When you marry the one you cheated with, you're not legitimizing your relationship...you're CREATING A VACANCY."

Wow... look at that outpouring of sympathy in the other comments. And by "outpouring of sympathy" I mean "everyone here knows you're an asshole". Asshole.

You are a despicable person and I hope your new marriage falls apart at the worst possible time and place

What you fail to see is they have morals. Hearts change like the wind at times. That doesn’t justify the how you got to this point in your life. Good luck to you and your future wife. But you two started off on rocky grounds. I hope fear and insecurities won’t eat you two alive.

Oh look. Actions, meet consequences. I'm shocked.

You're missing the point there bud. You should have left before the cheating.
