Inviting People Who Don't Support Your Relationship

Courtney, on June 23, 2017 at 9:10 AM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 12

My FH's has a married couple he's been friends with for awhile. 1st night I met her, she actually hit on him all night, but I brushed it off. I've tried to give her chances over 5 yrs, every time she's abrasive, passive aggressive and just rude. She can't even have dinner without complaining the whole time and insulting ppl within earshot. It's just one passive aggressive thing after another. Still, I always agree to give her a chance and see them. It's clear she has some issues, and I'm just ready to let that ship sail.

However my FH wants to invite them to the wedding. I'm of the opinion that anyone who does not support both of, should not be there. Since she's also a wedding planner, I know she'll complain around my guests the whole time. This girl couldn't go out to dinner without being rude to ppl 5 feet away (for no reason!). I don't want any resentment in my relationship, but I don't want that negativity at my wedding! Am I wrong to stand my ground here?

    You can talk to your FH about your concerns. How does he feel about her and around her?

    Is he friends with her or the guy she is dating?

    Definitely talk to him and explain why you don't want her there, but at the end of the day he gets to invite who he wants and you do too.

    Have a chat with your FH. You don't need downers at your wedding. My sympathies to the husband of that woman.

    OMG, this is the same exact thing I'm dealing with! I've decided to just shut my mouth and deal with it, because FH gets mad when I bring it up. I'm hoping for her sake that she doesn't make an ass out of herself at our reception, but that's on her. My BM's are on alert, and know all about her shady ways. FH feels like we have to invite them as a couple, and the husband is one of the GM's. I dread seeing her on my wedding day, but FH doesn't want to rock the boat or whatever. Good luck to you. It's a stupid situation for sure.

    If it doesn't feel right, no invite! That's my motto.

    I think its all about perspective. If you end up inviting her, then great. She gets to see you on one of the most beautiful days of your life. Everything is about you and everyone will be gawking at you. She can just sit there and be jealous.

    If you choose not to invite her, then great, you don't like her anyway and while you've dealt with her nonsense over the years, this will be a clear indication to her that her shenanigans are not welcome around you and your husband.

    So I say its a win either way.

    Talk it over with him and let him know your feels. If he still wants her there, then make it a plan, when at the reception when it's time to greet everyone, you go as a married couple up to her and don't let him go by himself and try not to be around her. You will be so focused on dancing and other fun things during your wedding, you may not even notice her.

    Brittney said it perfectly! If she does go, don't let it ruin your day.
