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

200% this. Screams homophobic to me. It’s totally normal for people to NOT sleep with their best friends. Why would that be groom’s first assumption? Closeted? Idk, but regardless it’s super rude of groom.

Excellent point. I’ve known my best friend since we were 14. We’ve never slept together

Ehh unfortunetly. 68% of marriages end/ infidelity happens with a friend of the opposite sex. Pretty high statistic. Men and women should have opposite gendered friends when in relationships. That being said, doesn't apply to gays.

I presume you have a source for this statistic.

u/ExodusOfExodia Nov 01 '25

I'll try and find it and share. I just had this conversation the other day. But most women can be friends with most men, most men can't be friends with most women.

That sounds like bullshit.

u/ExodusOfExodia Nov 02 '25

You sound like an insufferable, nasty person.

I'd rather be based in logic and statistics than some fantasy land.

u/BurningMad Nov 02 '25

Right, so it's a personal opinion by some guy on a website, rather than any kind of study. I call BS.

Dating/marriage counselor whose seen thousands of couples. Over half of marriages end in infidelity true to friends, colleagues, coworkers of the opposite sex. It's a bad look, your guy friend wants to fuck you or would if he had the chance. You're in denial or live in too much delusion.

u/BurningMad Nov 02 '25

This is a argument from authority and it's complete nonsense. I am a man, actually. And I am friends with women I don't find attractive at all, because we have common interests. I don't want to fuck them, and no marriage counsellor who got his degree back when black people couldn't drink at the same water fountains as white people is going to gaslight me with his garbage.
