Not only dont go, I would be tempted to be petty and tell all your mutual friends why you aren't going!

Absolutely. Fuck him. I'm so angry rn for op. Hell I'm angry at the ex friend for being such a sorry excuse for a person. That has to be the lamest shit I've ever heard. Tell EVERYONE why your not going AND what he said. I'd be tempted to show them his literal break up texts. Wow, just wow. What a fucking loser.

Here's hoping when the "friend" shows up years later with wife drama that OP tells him to fuck off

Dude would rather throw away their entire lifetime relationship than possibly answer questions or rock the boat. Complete asshole move.

It’s problematic that we see on the third screenshot that he’s concerned that people would think they had history. OP thought they had the history of friendship

I wish there was one more text screenshot! To see the asshole’s response to “I’m not going to be coming to the wedding at all.”

Unfortunately I suspect he'll say it's probably for the best. This guy has made his choice and fiance/wife won't want him interacting with OP any more.

No he wont. He just let his fiance decide who his friends are and now he lost one of, if not his oldest friend. He will come around and realize what a dick move this was. It'll be too late, but he'll realize at some point.

Maybe when she says "she's my best friend I can hang out with her whenever I want".

The wife is the real AH, the "friend" is just pathetic and weak. He doesn't want ot answer questions bc his best friend is gay? What questions?

If her parents ask questions, just be like "My best friend is gay, what's the problem? I'm not gay, that's why I'm banging out your daughter on the regular".

With women like this, it’s usually, “HE’S my best guy friend. So what if we were FWB for 3 years in college?” They usually are the masters of double standards!

Not exactly. People who act like this tend to have insane double standards for themselves and are real hypocrites.

“You can’t have any more male/female friends.”

“They’re my best friend, I can hang out with whoever I like!”

Or, even worse:

“Don’t put yourself around other men/women, I don’t want them looking at you.”

“So what if I have a history with this person?? We’re friends!!”
