Love: Today, I attended my college roommate's wedding. We were best...

Today, I attended my college roommate's wedding. We were best friends for 4 years, but have only talked occasionally since graduation. I was looking forward to meeting her new husband, having heard so much about him during our conversations. Turns out she forgot to mention he's my ex. FML

Today, I was the best man at my longtime friend’s wedding. I got so into talking about our shared memories over the years that I accidentally called his bride by his ex-girlfriend’s name at the end of my toast. FML

Today, I was meeting my husband's old friends at his 20 year high school reunion. He introduced me as his 'friend from work' to his ex girlfriend. FML

Misplaced fury

By Anonymous - 27/10/2023 15:00

Today, I was visited by a high school friend who lives in another state. She was furious because I got married a few months ago, and she kinda had feelings for me. I had to ask her to leave. Here's the funny thing: she's been married for 4 years and they have a son, and she didn't even invite me to her wedding back then. FML

Today, my old high school mates organised a dinner hangout so that my recent ex, who is part of our group, could introducing her new boyfriend to us. I was late and the only remaining seat available was next to the new boyfriend. FML

Is anyone else wondering why she didn't receive a wedding invitation, that clearly would have both parties names listed? I guess she probably received a casual invite? But I digress.

If she knew he's your ex (which was probably the case), she's really insensitive for not telling you.

They talked "occasionally " in the 4 years since college, which I would take to mean 5 or 6 times. But she heard so much about him? It seems strange to me that the conversation centered around her SO and she didn't pick up that he was her ex?

I fail to see how you were betrayed here. She could have honestly forgotten to mention that he was your ex in her excitement at getting married. Also, he is your ex(and obviously not one who is very important to you if you couldn't figure out it was him from hours of talking to your best friend about him). You have no claim to him and no right to say your friends can't date him. If you want your friend to not be happy with someone she loves ust because he is your ex than she is the betrayed one.

Absolutely agree. You guys WERE best friends, but you no longer are. You talk occasionally. If both the former best friend and the ex didn't think of mentioning that they were together, I think it just further goes to show that you guys are no longer close. Sadly for you, they don't owe you anything. You may even be lucky you got an invite to their wedding. Those things are expensive! I think that it is time to move on with the friendship and ex-relationship. If they were previously good friends to you, then you can choose to be happy that they found love together. They weren't going to be single forever! The fact that they found love together is a great thing! If you are still hurt by this, then that is a good time to back away from the wedding and to work on grieving the hurt from the past. If it's been a few years, it's time for you to move on. It's time for you to choose happiness, too. If you aren't working on this, then you are only betraying yourself. If he hurt you or was abusive, then now is a good time to start praying for safety in their union, and to get further therapy/counselling to heal the hurts done to you. Best of luck OP, and take care!

Ok, your friend should have told you. But at least he moved on...that's very important. My ex turned into a creepy stalker after we broke up. It's a thing I wouldn't wish on anyone.
