She Spent All Weekend Feeling Hurt After Her Boyfriend Refused To Let Her Attend A Wedding With Him
Over the weekend, this 28-year-old woman’s 34-year-old boyfriend was the best man in a wedding. She’s been dating her boyfriend for just under a year now, so she asked him back in May if he wanted her to be his plus-one.
She ended up asking since she was confused as to why her boyfriend hadn’t yet brought up bringing her along with him.
Her boyfriend responded that he had already booked a hotel room and plane ticket for himself before clarifying he RSVP’d just for one.
“I thought it was weird since the wedding was only a four-hour drive away, but I didn’t want to press things,” she explained.
“We had dinner with his parents that same night, and they asked about me going, and he told them basically the same thing, but they asked about him driving there, and he made no mention of a plane ticket.”
“I said right there I thought he was flying and he told me he never said that. Coincidentally, they had an invite for the same wedding on the table, and I couldn’t help but notice the RSVPs weren’t due for several more weeks. The week after, I met his friend who was getting married and his fiancée.”
Interestingly enough, she got along wonderfully with her boyfriend’s friend and fiancée. The couple actually asked her to come to their wedding, and then she had to inform them she thought her boyfriend wanted to intentionally exclude her.
She felt uneasy about being so honest, and the couple stated that they should all leave it up to her boyfriend to decide if he wanted her to come. But they insisted they would love for her to attend the wedding.
Several weeks after this conversation with the couple, she and her boyfriend got into a fight about him lying to her.

She said that she knew he was lying about the wedding and that he never booked a plane ticket to go.
Her boyfriend argued back that he was going to get around to buying a ticket (but he actually ended up driving to the wedding this past weekend).
Finally, her boyfriend revealed to her the real reason why he wanted her to stay home while he attended the wedding.
Apparently, he felt he had a ton of responsibilities as the best man, and he wanted to fly solo so he could enjoy the evening with his friends alone since he felt they won’t have many more moments like that in the future.
“It was a whole weekend event, and he said it would be weird for me to be there basically. I accepted this and told him I would have understood that from the beginning, and I only felt uneasy now because he felt the need to lie,” she said.
“I thought I could handle it, but I felt so hurt this weekend. He kept calling me and telling me about everyone and their partners, and I just find it a little strange that it wasn’t “weird” for them to have their SO present.”
“I’m gutted, and I’m not sure why he did this or what it means. I don’t think he was cheating or going with anyone else; he did a pretty good job of staying in touch, and yes, I left him alone and let him enjoy the night with his friends. I let him text me when he wanted to and he didn’t call at all, which I didn’t make a fuss over. It just hurts really bad to think he simply didn’t want me there. Thoughts?”
