Fight With Bridesmaid

Hannah, on December 13, 2017 at 9:29 AM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 66

2 months ago I asked my aunt to me one of my BMs; she had always been there for me and helped my family through a lot of crap. But, at the time I was just noticing she would ignore me a lot. I brushed it off, and she accepted.

Now, I realized ever since I announced my pregnancy (Around the same time I asked her to be a BM) whenever she finally says something to me it's about how stupid us getting pregnant was and that we just need to put them up for adoption.

I went to lunch the other day with her and my mom, and she kept ragging on me about I need to accept my 'mistake' and get rid of the kid, it isn't mine until it's born and legally in my name, blah blah blah. I left in tears! I called FH and he said to "fire" her, that if she's constantly hurting me she shouldn't be honored. But, my mom says it'll be rude to do that.

I wouldn't find someone to replace her or anything, I'd just relieve her of her duties. Is it rude, and should I just hope she'll be nicer closer to the day?

    Honestly, that is such a low class, disgusting thing to say to someone.

    Fuck her being a bridesmaid, I wouldn't even want a POS like that in my life.

    She sounds like a peach.

    I think this is a situation where you can let her go. Someone who does not respect your decision to have a child has no place in your wedding or life. Do you even want her as a guest?

    Man, that's a tough one. That's extremely difficult to have someone near and dear to your heart be unsupportive of your decision to grow your family. In that case, I'd say that while you love her and would love to honor her in your wedding, you'd rather have her attend as a guest (or not at all). You want support on all fronts on the day of your union with your FH.

    WOW drop her. You absolutely do not need anyone that negative in your wedding party. I'm sorry shes acted that way towards you but you don't need the added stress and should only be surrounded by people who support you.

    ETA: Agreed, don't even invite her if she feels so strongly about your pregnancy. What a bitch.

    IMO, this is an exception. In no way could I have someone in my BP that not only suggested not keep a child but was harping on me for it. As an aunt myself, I express concerns to my adult nieces if I see something that will negatively impact their lives (ie not finishing a degree)...but then I let it go.

    How much older than you is your aunt? could she be jealous that you are having a child and getting married and she isnt? maybe shes going through something and lashing out on you.

    You should definitely have a talk with her

    Your mom says it's rude of you to remove her from your BP but it's okay for her to say such disgusting things to you?! Nope nope nope. You are well within your rights to tell her to mind her own fucking business and that she's no longer welcome at your wedding let alone in your BP. You deserve to be surrounded by people that love you and support your relationship, not who say things like that.

    You should fire her. You need to cut toxic people out of your life for the sake of your marriage and child.

    She can kick rocks. I wouldn't have this woman in my life anymore. Forget the bridal party. I'm not sure what's making her lash out at you like that about something that should be celebrated, but that's not going to change as the wedding draws closer. Let her be pissed off by herself.

    "It would be rude to do that"???? So what she said to you was not rude?! I would have went off on her. Yup fire her! ASAP. Don't even think twice about this anymore. That's rude as hell to say to ANYONE. "Mistake?" She is really a character huh. Smh.

    OP people "be there" for you and help you" through things for 15 years, but when they say something like that, and are behaving like this, its time to draw the line. I have no problem cutting off someone and erasing them like I never met them. SMH

    Wow. There's a special place in hell for terrible people like that.

    Fuck etiquette and fuck her. Kick the bitch out.

    What the hell. That's beyond shitty!! Screw whatever "etiquette" says, and let her go. I wouldn't let someone who says things like that to me or about me stand with me on my wedding day. No way.

    Screw etiquette - she made that null and void the second she talked negatively about your unborn baby. I wouldn't even have her apart of my life anymore let alone stand up next to me on one of the most important days of my life.

    Kinda more concerned with the fact that your mom seems to be defending her and thinks she should still be honored in your wedding despite these comments.

    I'm even more shocked that your mother allowed her to say that about her own grandchild. Bye Felicia.

    @Sos0033 Mom sees a lot of behind the scene things, so I almost wonder if she knows something I don't. But, yeah, it ticked me off she stood up for her sister rather than her daughter and grandchild.
