She Asked Her Brother’s Ex To Be One Of Her Bridesmaids And Her Brother Is Fuming
A 28-year-old woman is currently engaged, and she’s in the middle of planning her wedding. She decided to invite her brother’s ex, Sarah, to be one of her bridesmaids, and her brother is left fuming.
Sarah is the same age as her, and Sarah began dating her brother when she was 19-years-old. At first, Sarah and her brother were attached at the hip, and they even wore matching outfits.
“Sarah and I both like each other but there was always turmoil between us because she never worked and had my brother pay for everything,” she explained.
“I found that to be an ugly feature of hers but it didn’t put a damper on who she was as a person. We ended up living together when I was going through hard times at the age of twenty. She always wanted things to be nice, cleaned the place up a lot, and decorated the apartment to be warm and lively.”
In contrast, she was a mess and let their house reflect that, which always annoyed Sarah. So, that explains the “turmoil” between them, but they always got along well regardless.
Anyway, Sarah and her brother went on to have a daughter together 8 years ago, and they split up when their daughter turned 3.
Her brother went on to meet someone else and also got engaged not that long ago. Her brother still is connected to Sarah through their daughter, and the relationship that her brother has with Sarah is completely toxic.
Additionally, her brother owes Sarah a crazy amount of money in child support and only gets to see his daughter on the weekends.
Her brother drives 3 hours each way to get to his daughter, leaving the majority of his weekends not so free to enjoy the time he has with his child.

While she does think it’s sad to see her brother struggle to be a good dad, that hasn’t stopped her from being close to Sarah, even after Sarah has used her brother’s money for child support in questionable ways and “threatened” to say he kidnapped their daughter.
Her brother really doesn’t like Sarah in the slightest anymore, so it’s interesting that she went ahead with picking Sarah to be part of her wedding day at all.
“Sarah and I consistently talk, and although she’s put my brother through the wringer, we still remain in a good place,” she said.
“I’m able to bridge the gap between any arguments that are happening between the family and her and I am able to hear both sides.”
“Sometimes I agree with her, sometimes I agree with them. It really is messy but we’ve managed to hold on to our friendship through it all. She was there through so many moments of growth for me and has boosted me up more times than I can count.”
It seems that Sarah’s support through the years is the reason why she decided to ask her to be one of her bridesmaids, and she didn’t care how her brother would feel about it.
She never asked her brother how he would feel or if it was ok to invite Sarah to be a bridesmaid.
When her brother found out, he was livid and insisted that it was a terrible plan to even let Sarah be a guest, let alone a bridesmaid.
“He was very hesitant and only agreed after I explained in depth how much it would mean to me,” she continued.
“But now when it comes up he still becomes mad and says I’m an AH for putting him in this position.”
Do you think she is in the wrong for asking Sarah to be a bridesmaid?
