Today, my best friend told me she's been in love with me for over 4 years. I'm getting married to the man of my dreams in a month and she's supposed to be my bridesmaid. "Awkward" doesn't even begin to describe our friendship right now. FML

Wow she just picked the perfect freaking time to tell you that... Sorry you have to go through this right before your wedding, OP.

Hope you wedding goes well besides all the drama :)

Respect her courage and realize this is tough for her to accept that her unrealistic hopes are now evaporating. Assuming she still wants to be your friend, be there for her so she will always be there for you.

The friend could have said it years ago. It was disrespectful of the friend to bring something like that up so close to the OP's wedding.

That's a tough one. I always try to maintain the idea that things are only awkward if you make them awkward. But good luck keeping it cool.

OP is female in case anyone didn't catch that... 100x more awkward.

Dump the guy and marry her instead. OBVIOUSLY she's more important simply because she's your best friend.

No? Why would she do that? It's obvious she doesn't have the same feelings. Why would she leave a man who she says is the man of her dreams.

I do believe that was sarcasm good sir/ma'am. Don't be a sheldon. There are too many Sheldons in this world that don't understand sarcasm. Unless you're being sarcastic. In that case, carry on.

this is Egypt not California the whole situation is dangerous beyond belief, at least she doesn't live in India or Pakistan

"she's been in love with me" "to the man of my dreams" Either you're a straight woman who's got a lesbian best friend, or you're a gay man with a straight best friend. Regardless, you're in a weird situation o_O

Apparently, in your world, bisexual people don't exist.

OP is a (presumably) straight woman (the female indicator is by the name) getting married to a man, and she just learned that her best friend is gay/bi and in love with her. Yeah, maybe the friend should have said something earlier--like when OP got engaged or something, I don't know.

She was out of line to tell you something like that so close to your wedding. She only had her interests at mind when she told you. I'm sorry to hear she did something like that.

Bi people do exist, you know.

What does that have to do with my post?

Maybe she was looking sad and op asked what was wrong and that's when she told op that she was in love with her. We don't have enough information to determine whether she was selfish or "out of line."

Good for her! I'm sorry op, but I know what's it's like to have unspoken feelings, it hurts but it hurts worse when it's too late. Stay strong and you'll get through this.

Why is it good for her? She could have picked any time in the past to say it. She was selfish for picking a time so close to the OP's wedding day. I don't why people are saying good for her for being selfish and thinking of no one but herself.

Maybe she was scared and "Speak now or forever hold your peace". Maybe she wasn't positive the wedding would happen. We don't know, but she may have a valid, understandable reason for waiting so long. Stop being judgey.

i suggest one last fling before the ring
