A woman is getting married in a month, and she didn’t even need to make it to the altar before someone objected.

She has a best friend named Charles that has been in her life since she was 16-years-old. They’re extremely close, they have a lot of similarities, and they’re really wonderful friends.

“We dated briefly in our mid-twenties for a couple of months, but ended it after we both agreed that we were much better off as friends and that ultimately, we had different life goals i.e: he didn’t want marriage, I did,” she explained.

After they decided it was better to not be romantically involved, they continued on as just friends, and it worked out great.

Charles even went on to seriously date someone else, and she did too. Several years ago, she met her fiancé, Arnold.

Arnold knows that she and Charles are very close, and Arnold actually likes Charles a lot as well.

To make sure Arnold has always been comfortable with the relationship she has had with Charles, she would always make sure to do certain things.

For example, she has given Arnold permission to look at any of the messages between her and Charles if he wanted to, and she always would spend time with Charles in a public space, or she would meet up with him with Arnold so that they were never by themselves.

Several days ago, she was chatting with Charles through FaceTime when he dropped a pretty big bomb on her.

Charles revealed that he’s in love with her, and he said that if he was still with her, he would have agreed to have gotten married.

“He told me he was an idiot for letting me go and that he thinks I’m the closest person in his life,” she continued.

“It was a very raw, open, and honest conversation which he’s never opened up to me quite like that before. It took me by surprise.”

She’s still reeling from hearing Charles say this all to her, and she’s very aware of the fact that they would never have made a good couple for more reasons than Charles initially not wanting to ever get married.

He’s been such a huge part of her life for such a long time, 17 years to be exact, and now she’s concerned she might lose him as a friend over this.

Charles has put her in an impossible situation, and she’s struggling to understand how she can continue their relationship as just friends since she doesn’t want to have to cut him out of her life.

To complicate things further, when Charles got an invite to her wedding to Arnold, he said he couldn’t make it. She figured it was weird, but this is clearly the reason he declined to come.
