She RSVP’d No To Her Best Friend’s Wedding Since She Is Marrying An Abusive Partner
A woman’s best friend is getting married and she was invited to the wedding! This would typically be a time for celebration, right? Well, this woman disapproves of her best friend’s boyfriend.
“I think he is an abusive partner from the behaviors I have seen and how he has treated my friend since their relationship started two years ago,” she said.
Her friend’s partner had been cheated on in his previous relationship, so the woman does not believe he is over it.
“Since my friend started her relationship with him, she cannot have male friends. So, she had to stop speaking to and remove all male friends on social media.
He also made her delete all social media besides Facebook where their relationship can be clearly linked,” the woman said, “She cannot even go for a drink with her coworkers after work if a male coworker is there.”
These restrictions sound more like parenting a child than a partnership. Still, the man does not stop there.
“Their phone locations have been shared since the very early days, she rarely sees her friends; and, when she does, she is disengaged/always texting,” the woman added.
Apparently, if her friend takes too long to reply, her partner will “freak out.”
Despite all of these requirements, the man has still accused her best friend of cheating on him multiple times. And, there was never any evidence.

“It’s just bizarre logic that only makes sense to him,” the woman said, “He screams and swears at her when he has these meltdowns.”
Like a good friend, this woman wants to look out for her best friend. Still, she remains supportive in fear of what the man would do if she “gave up on her.”
“That’s why I said congratulations for her engagement on the premise that as long as she is happy, I am happy,” she said, “However, since receiving a formal invitation to the wedding, I don’t think I can support this event.”
It simply does not feel right to this woman to go and watch her best friend get married when she would “love to see her wake up and leave him.”
So, she RSVP’d “no” to the wedding and told her friend the truth.
“My best friend is really upset and calling me fake and unsupportive. I just feel like I’m sticking to my principles, but should I be supporting her regardless?” the woman asked.
