Op did right by breaking up since the fiance cheated. Was wrong for choosing his female bestfriend over his fiance. if my partner is insecure or jealous of someone i would try every possible thing to make them comfortable with the other person. If it came to a point where i have to choose between those two and i find it difficult to choose my partner without any second thought. I think it would possibly mean I don't love her enough and it's better to free them.
Idk if you heard it but i did he was with this girl for two years knew his best friend for 7 i dont give a d-d-DAMN if you were Tom Holland bro i would never ever choose someone over my friend especially if we've been friends for that long
Good on OP. So tired of the nonsense that people can't have purely platonic friends of the gender they're interested in. I'd be hella lonely if that were actually the case, being pan. Seriously, y'all, if you don't trust the person you're with... why are you with them?
YTA. Groomsmen should only be men, and bridesmaids should only be women. I know it’s popular nowadays to want to discard all lines between gender, but some things should be left just for a specific gender. Also, married (or soon to be) men should not have close female friends, like the kind that would be in the wedding party on his side. It’s disrespectful to your wife, and a breach of appropriate boundaries. Again, the “let’s ignore gender relations and dynamics” idea is moronic. That said, this story sounds fake af. Just happened to have the insecure partner cheating like an overplayed trope. And the perfectly platonic friendship between a man and woman who are both with other people, yeah okay.
I'd disagree with you on this. Even though groomsmen should be men, they don't have to be neccessarily. There are times when someone's role model or key figure can be of "unconventional" gender. For instance, mothers might walk their daughters down the aisle. Married people definitely can have close friends of an opposite gender. The only thing is transparency and mindfulness about your partner's feelings. In that case, having such friends make no harm to the relationship. Communication is key.
