Maid of Honor Issues

Rebecca, on September 25, 2017 at 11:19 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 40

My MOH and I were super close when I asked her to be MOH September 2016. In February we went shopping for bridesmaid dresses. 1 of the girls dropped out of the wedding at the store. In May we were all at a party. My former bridesmaid was there and, being drunk, I wasn't exactly polite to her. I have her a quick hello hug and went to speak to other people.

When my MOH got there they had a venting session about me with some nonsense made up by both of them. Since then my MOH has been distant and causing random issues. Her speech is about my FH, she has been flirting with him, trying to get him to drink with her, and today decided to buy him a gift out of the blue.

She also tried to fight my childhood best friend at the bachelorette. Apparently I'm not supposed to have other friends.

I don't know what to do. My wedding is coming up and I don't feel like I can trust her for the day of my wedding. The speech is embarrassing enough...

    1. BM had multiple excuses that we have since discovered were nonsense. She just simply didn't want to do it.

    2. 1 of them said my MIL was forcing her opinions on me. I was "freaking" out about shoes. I'm a bridezilla and yelling at everyone. I'm super pissed at the former BM.

    None of that was true.

    3. She has started texting him whenever she's home alone and telling him that she's home alone thinking about him and the wine she left at my house.

    4. She told me what her speech was about...

    Girl I would cut this bitch cleannnnn out of my life. Also you need to address why FH isn't shutting her TF down when she is coming at him with those kinds of messages. #notcool

    He just gives me his phone and I talk to her. It has become a game. Which is sad. We're assholes

    Can you clarify more about the texting? I don't understand how the wine at your house fits in. How does FH respond to her texts? Is he showing them all to you? Has he told her that her texts are uncomfortable and he'd like her to stop?

    I can’t believe the amount of people on this forum who have friends who switch from delightful besties before being asked to be bm, to psycho, drama queens after. I don’t get it.

    She wants him to bring it to her house because she doesn't want to come over

    So you're texting her back pretending to be him? How old are you all?

    That's the funny part. I don't try to pretend to be him or spur her on. I tell her that she can come over and get her wine whenever she wants

    This is completely new behavior. We were best friends hanging out all the time. She lives the closest to me. She was responsible, dependable, and organized. I thought she would stick by me and make sure that I was getting the wedding I wanted. Instead she isn't any of those things anymore

    But when you respond on his phone, she thinks she's getting a response from him, right? She doesn't know that she's getting responses from you. She isn't hearing your FH tell her to stop talking to him like that, so she's not hearing that this is unacceptable to him. She's not being rejected by him.

    Yeah. If she does it again. I will. Today she asked for recommendations on a gift for him

    I promise you I have done nothing to her. She suddenly started this. Last week the former BM decided she was mad at me for not inviting her to the bachelorette. All I've done is attempt to plan my wedding while trying to keep the peace with my family and hunting for a job. I had hoped my friends could stay calm because they all know my family issues

    This sounds like a lot of high school nonsense. Grown women don't drop out of weddings at bridal salons (unless they get hit with a price tag they can't swallow or a dress that humiliates them); brides don't get drunk at a random party and offend a former BM ("I wasn't exactly polite to her" is probably a very sanitized version of the story); a MOH doesn't love a bride and suddenly decide to engage in a gossip session with the BM who is no longer a BM; a MOH doesn't write flirtatious speeches to the groom, and if she does, she doesn't show it to the bride for approval; a MOH doesn't wax poetic about wine left at the groom's home, and she certainly doesn't flirt with him.

    This is not how responsible, mature women behave. There has to be more to the story.

    These 2 women do behave like this. I was already drunk and I simply hugged her and walked on. This was interpreted as rude.

    Once again, she did not show me the speech, she simply told me about.

    I came here for advice about what to do.
