Invite or don’t invite

Rylie, on December 26, 2019 at 11:35 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 28
It all started his sophomore year of college. Keep in mind I’ve never met his friends partner nor talked. She wouldn’t let me add her now husband on anything but she could have my man on everything. I couldn’t text her husband but she could text mine. One day I text her husband because my fiancés phone wasn’t receiving my calls & I was worried. He screenshots and shows her and she flipped out and message me on IG and told me to never text him again. I was in shock & honestly wasn’t my best but apologized. She then blocks me & has her husband do so on everything as well. Fast forward a year she unblocks me on everything. Then I post in my IG story a quote. ( I love quotes) For some reason she assumed my post was about her. Then she & her husband block me on everything for the second time. Year later They get engaged. My fiancé was supposed to be a groomsman but refused when told I wasn’t invited because of his friends wife. (Proper etiquette rule is you can’t tell a party member who they can & cannot invite) Months later she messages me on IG and apologized for holding a grudge ( still don’t don’t about what) invites us & says since she’ll be living with her husband & doesn’t want things to be weird when I’m in town. (The boys were finishing college). I accepted even though I had a weird feeling. I was excited and happy. Got them gifts & went to the wedding. When I came into town I always invited them to join us out and invited them to a Christmas party I planned for all my fiancées friends. I was there when she lost a family member & got her a gift. I was always generous & kind. I was putting in effort while she wasn’t. I’d always catch her lacking eye contact or uninterested when I talked. Often on her phone. She would give fake smiles to me & give a strong look into my eyes. I would get a gut feeling. Then again she assumes I was talking about them but this time it was me expressing my opinion on my IG. She message me and ask if it was about them. Before I could reply she blocked me on everything again. My fiancé lived with them at that time and told him I’m not allowed in their home because I make her uncomfortable. (We were doing long distance) so when I visited we stayed at his other friends house because we didn’t have money for a hotel. Now I’m engaged I’m not sure to invite them or not. She has no respect for me & full of negativity. What do I do? Sorry that was long.

    I forgot to mention she has always tried to tell me what to do & not to do. But it’s okay if she does. She’s always rude when speaking to me when she feels there is a problem. I don’t know what to do. I feel stuck.

    Hard no on the invite, in my personal opinion. If she asks, say she makes you uncomfortable - lol just kidding. I would just block her the next time she unblocks. Make it easier on you that she won't keep going back and forth.

    You're not friends, there's no reason to invite her.

    I wouldn't invite her or her FH (husband?) but I think this should be your husband's choice.

    You've just laid out this very toxic history with this person, and you're wondering if you should invite her to your wedding? ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!!!!!!

    Why would you want to risk having that kind of negativity on what is supposed to be the most special day of your life? Don't do it. You will regret it.

    I just have this weight on my shoulders. I feel like I would be a burden or it would slap me in the face in the future. I’m fed up with her poor treatment. I don’t want to be the reason my fiancé’s friendship ends with her husband. I don’t want to invite her at all but that mean they both will not be invited. I’m not gonna invite one and not the other.

    What is your fiance's opinion in this matter? Since it's his friendship, I think you should run this question by him. If he says he's leaving it up to you, then I would not invite them as she sounds immature and obnoxious. However, if your wedding is truly in 2025, then I don't know why this is even an issue right now. You've got 5 years until you really need to make a decision on whether or not to invite them. At that point, the friendship between your fiance and his friend may already have dissolved naturally and then this is all moot.

    In that case, I'd definitely run it by your fiance and see what he has to say. Best of luck with it (and hopefully he agrees to not invite them!)

    Well there you go! I wouldn't put a second thought into excluding them from your guest list. She honestly would probably cause more drama if she were invited than if she weren't, so save yourself the headache and cut 'em!

    Girl I honestly didn’t want her to be invited but I felt like I was being immature. Needed stranger opinions because my fiancé’s mom said just invite them but ignore her.

    Girl you are a better person than I. Especially if your FH said he didn't care if they were there or not. Maybe sit her WAY in the back at the reception Smiley xd
