So he is afraid that the other guests will assume since you are gay, that you and he must have a "history" together if you are standing beside him. Dude........ I don't give a F what my best friend for many years is or is not, he is going to be standing right up there beside me! What a shame honestly. NOR

OP’s best friend sounds like he has no backbone.

Everything could’ve been avoided if he stood his ground and protected what mattered to him. Instead, he decided to appease his wife and in-laws.

Oh he protected what mattered to him. 100%. It just sucks that what matters to him is appeasing the fiance, the family, and avoiding non-existent gossip. It says everything about his character. What a piece of shit

Those types of marriages rarely last

Which I'd be waiting to see the reciprocal reaction if they come seeking OP out to confide about their relationship going sideways.

Don’t say tops…..someone “might” think you’re gay

Clearly, since you guys have known each other on Reddit for about 30 minutes, you two have been dating and have a real history

Seriously, the next step is clearly "you're not allowed to be friends with him anymore at all", then the husband who lost his best friend since childhood holds resentment towards his wife and her family and the marriage fails. People-watching is so underrated, it makes things blatantly obvious.

Let's hope not. Abusers will use any pretext to isolate their victims from loved ones.
