A woman is furious that her brother won’t disinvite her ex from his wedding.
She shared what happened on Reddit’s “Am I the A******? (AITA)” forum. The woman recently discovered her husband was cheating on her with a friend. She also learned that all of her friends were helping her husband cover up the infidelity. After filing for divorce, she asked her brother to disinvite the ex from his upcoming wedding. But her brother refused.
“My brother is getting married in a month,” she explained. “My brother is not friends with my friends, but he knows them by association and gets along with them, and he’s invited them to his wedding. My soon-to-be ex is also invited.”
“My husband and I have known each other since high school, and we shared the same friend group. His friends are my friends and vice versa.
Recently I found out my husband has been cheating on me for four months with another woman, and all of our friends have been covering for him. They all knew and enabled him. I immediately filed for divorce.”
Her family seemed supportive at first, but she couldn’t believe what her brother did next.
“Yesterday, the topic of my brother’s wedding came up, and he was talking about the seating arrangements with me and my parents,” she said. “He asked me if I would be comfortable to be seated next to my husband and our friends. I looked at him in disbelief and told him he shouldn’t even be asking that question.”
“I’m also upset that he’s inviting them after all, especially my friends since they’re not his friends at all, and he just knows them by association. He said it would be mean if he uninvited all of them. I reminded him how my husband cheated on me, and I got lied [to] by all my friends who were enabling him. He says he’s aware, but I should not insist on him uninviting them because it’s his wedding, and he makes the rules.”
People felt the brother made the wrong choice on this one.
“If your brother is choosing people he isn’t even friends with over you, then it proves what a terrible brother he is,” a user said.
“Your brother needs to readjust his priorities,” another commented.
“He’s being incredibly self-absorbed and careless,” someone wrote.
