The other women

Madison, on April 12, 2014 at 10:43 AM Posted in Planning 0 15

My fiancé best friend is a girl. Well recently they got into a HUGE fight. She flipped out saying all he ever talks about is me and our wedding and other nasty things. They haven't talked in about a month. Well... She's the best man in our wedding! (Standing on brides side tho) our wedding is in 5months! She hasn't ordered her dress. My fiancé won't bug on talking to her he always apologizes first and comes cowarding back and doesn't want to.

What do I do? Message her and say hey you dress needs to be ordered soon ? We don't know if she's still in the wedding?!

    Do you want her in the wedding? Do you want her in your life? If yes, then tell her to order her dress, if no then tell her no, its up to you two.

    I would say since it's his best friend and his "best man" he needs to figure it out. Tell him if he still wants her in the wedding, he needs to talk to her. It would be super awkward for you to do it, and if they aren't talking leading up to the wedding it'll make for a VERY awkward wedding day.

    Also shes not the "other woman" If youre uncomfortable with him being friends with a woman thats your problem. I have many guy friends that are like my brothers, literally

    Anisea, while I generally agree with that, if the fight was really because she's mad that he talks about his fiancée and his upcoming wedding--that she's the best man in--then I'd say that's pretty weird!

    I agree with the others, though--let him handle it. It's his friend/best man. Tell him to just ask her about the dress; he doesn't need to be the first to apologize if that's the issue, but he can be the first to break the silence.

    Let him handle it. You wouldn't expect him to handle an issue you were having with your MOH, so her gender is really irrelevant in terms of the fight and her position in the wedding party. In terms of the clothing, her gender isn't irrelevant. She needs time to get the dress and have it fitted. She has nowhere near as much leeway as men do with tuxes. Just make sure he deals with the gown issue, and you probably have some time before you have to approach that subject.

    My guess is that she'll calm down, realize she was out of line, and things will be fine.

    I'm with LillyBride-- their relationship sounds pretty one sided if he doesn't feel comfortable making that request of her.

    In any case, yes, he needs to talk to her about getting her dress on time or sitting with the rest of the guests at the wedding.

    Who are the other women? Or is there just one woman?

    I don't know how you deal with that I have nothing against a guy having a girl BF but definitely its not for me. My ex BF had a girl best friend and I wanted to choke her half the time, its just weird to me and they get so annoying because girls are so emotional. Luckily, FH has no girl BF and he does not believe in that as well. AMEN! I would let your FH deal with it, its his friend.

    I have a similar situation thankfully she won't be in the bridal party but will be at the wedding. To answer your question leave alone make a back up plan just in case it is not your place to step in especially since it's clear she is jealous of you...

    If he's not calling her, neither should you.

    My thoughts too Jenn. His friend, his problem, make sure you have a plan B.

    That is seriously rude and, I agree with most of the other postings - it's ok for his best friend to be a girl; but it is NOT ok for her to get angry at HIM for talking about his wedding and his bride-to-be - especially if she's going to be in the wedding.

    If he doesn't want to talk to her and is tired of always having to be the one to apologize, that's his decision, too. I wouldn't push it, but at this point, I think you're being too nice about it and she doesn't just owe HIM an apology, she owes you one, too. I would let him deal with it and see how it goes...
