I've got some drama.....

I'm new to this whole thing, but I've been reading posts for months. You ladies give good advice...you should go on Oprah.
Here's my problem..
My FH's best friend who is a groomsman and one of my bridemaids used to date. He wound up getting his ex pregnant and secretly married her. All the while though, he was still with my friend. Now, he has realized that he and his wife need to reconcile and in this wants to bring her to the wedding. I think it's wrong, my FH says "it's his wife" and I say she's not invited. I'm not condoning infidelity and my friend and his friend have decided that they would no longer see eachother, but I think he's going to show up with his wife, who knows about my friend. What's a girl to do?

Re: I've got some drama.....

First of all welcome to the boards "Beetle" (your new name everyone has one and seeing that your screen reminds me of the Vogs Wagon bug car - hence your new name) Girl Girl Girl...just reading this made me all nervous and confused..what kinda drama you gat going on girlfriend!...and the hurtful thing about this situation is that you can not stop his wife from coming especially becuase that is FH's friend and he is standing - how can you tell him his wife is not invited .....WOW! This one is tough and Rosey may have to handle this..The thing is that this is your FH's wedding as well and he also has some say...My question to you is--does the wife and girlfriend know of each other? This one has me stumped.

Charlotte wishes you all a beautiful Christmas filled with loads of love, laughter and the true meaning of this blessed season.

Re: I've got some drama.....

This one really has me taken-a-back...I re-read you post and realize that they are aware of each other - sweetgirl I smell a fight coming on...your and FH really have to seriously either rethink having him stand so the wife does come or avoid a big wedding and just go to JP. You'll really have to do something to avoid people messing up your wedding day because this one is definitely drama in the waiting.

Re: I've got some drama.....

They know of eachother, but have never met. His friend is coming from Connecticut and the wedding is in Texas. Can't she just save the air fare? I'm only being this way because she knew about my friend when she got pregnant....she had been trying to get him to marry her before she got pregnant, which was the reason he left her.

Re: I've got some drama.....

Welcome to the board Bettle (I love the name Charly). Wow! Okay, if I were the wife, there is no way in **** I'm not coming along with my HUSBAND. If you were the wife, would you not want to come along? I think the best thing to do is have a talk with your friend and let her know the wife is coming. How long ago was this breakup? Is your girlfriend seeing someone else? I attended a wedding recently where the groom's father and stepmother was getting a divorce. (The husband cheated on his wife and his "mistress" came). The husband and now fiance sat on one side and the stepmom and now fiance sat on the other side at the reception. Honey if these grown people really love you, they would make sure that nothing will happen to destroy your day. Just my opinion.

Re: I've got some drama.....

Ok. You can not NOT invite the wife. She is his WIFE. Just like you are about to be someones wife yourself and there is a lot that comes with that. I personally would remove BOTH offending parties because infidelity is on both the BM & GM. Your friend knew he was married, didn't she? Avoid the drama because there will be ugliness at your beautiful wedding. Either it will be with you and the GM. The GM and the BM or the wife and the BM or the wife and her husband. Wether she comes or not. It just isn't worth it.

Re: I've got some drama.....

WELCOME BEETLE!! I'm the ghetto superstar of the bunch, and will be the first to say DON'T INVITE HER!! But cattiness aside, as Rosy (the voice of reason) says, you kinda have to. The bad thing is folks gonna get their feeling hurt with this one (no avoiding it) no matter what you do. I fyou don't invite her FH friend is going to be hurt. Invite her, your friend WILL be hurt by her presence there. Ask them both not to take part in the wedding, more hurt. Having them just show up as guest, hurt and possible drama!

Re: I've got some drama.....

Welcome to the site!!! Here's my two cents, in my opinion, you have to accept that this particular groomsman will bring his wife. You can't tell a husband that he can't allow his wife to come. I must also tell you that I understand that you feel terrible about your friend being hurt by this unfaithful relationship, but the bottom line is it is not your issue. It is THEIR (parties involved) issue. I understand that this is your wedding and you don't want any problems. I would speak to both parties and inform them that you don't want any problems and you expect them to be adults and be on their best behavior. It can work, if these people love you and your FH, they will not rain on your parade. In any event, I wish you all the best.

Re: I've got some drama.....

My questions are beetle, does your friend still have feelings for this man?? how long has it been since they dated? and has she not moved on yet cause it doesn't seem like he is a prize. I'm sorry ladies I don't mean to be blunt or come off the wrong way, but I really don't think this man is worth a conversation, and especially when it comes to beetles wedding this is her day and if her friend cares for her, she would be on her best behavior and the FH should probably speak to his friend about checkin his wife.

Re: I've got some drama.....

I love you girls already.
I'll give alias names.
May (BM) Will (GM)
May and Will were dating before he got married. He got married because he got his ex pregnant. They stopped seeing eachother until the marriage got rocky and they seperated.
I don't think that the relationship should have continued, but these are grown folks here.
Will recently called May to tell her he wanted them to be friends and that he was trying to work things out with his wife. Naturally May is hurt, but claims she's over him, which I highly doubt.
I don't agree with the whole situation, but I have sympathy for May, because she was really in love with him. Neither I nor my FH know Will's wife. Will has never had anything nice to say about her. Why do I have to invite her? Will's only coming because he's in the wedding. I don't think he would come otherwise. I really want all of us to be able to hang out together without drama. How can we if Will's wife comes? Help me girls...Bold TextBold Text

Re: I've got some drama.....

Do you really want to have to take your earrings off and break out vaseline on your wedding day? You know I she does something to hurt your girlfriend feelings, you gonna become 'Queen Slap-a-ho' and have to take the little hooker down. That won't look good on the wedding video girl, LOL!

Re: I've got some drama.....

(LOL) you ladies are so funny, got everybody thinking i'm crazy in my house for laughing out loud. OK this is getting worst and worst bettle. I truly think may does have feelings for will and I really feel for her. He knows he is wrong and I don't think he should bring the hefer to the wedding either, but it is his wife, GURL! I am at a lost for words now, what you going to do? you can't expect your FH to side with you on this, he probably saying will is the man right now. This is a girl situation. The only thing left to say is take will out of the wedding cause he's the one bringing the drama.

Re: I've got some drama.....

Beetle,
Its so funny that you have this issue cause I have a similar one, check it my twin sister who is my maid of honor was dating my FH cousin for a while, well 2 labor day holidays ago she came with me to their family cook out she knew he was going to be there and he showed up with some hurt chick and my twin was vexed you hear me. Well he claimed she was afriend and all you know and they kept dating, then the girl pops up pregnant, this is his cousins first baby and hes in his mid 30's already. She never really been around my twin, but she's been around me and we are identical. Anyway he kept telling my sister all these negative things about this woman then when the baby is born he goes and gets an apartment with the chick.
Now they do not speak anymore and the girl knew he was dating my sister first. He is one of the GM I asked him if she was coming and he was like of course, I told my FH that she better not act up, but the last time I checked she wasn't sure if she was coming. I heard she's finding out that the people in my FH family don't like her. I don't either and it has nothing to do with my twin, but she has a bad era about her and it's not just me.

Re: I've got some drama.....

Ladies, ladies, ladies. Men ALWAYS bad mouth their wives or girlfiends when they are with someone else. It is an unwritten guy rule. Why would he be with you if everything is all golden with the new girl? Simple. He is getting away with it. And we let them. Beetle, your FH's friend is WRONG. He should not e in the weddding at this point. You KNOW it's goinna cause drama. I don't expect the vaseline to break out (bring some just incase), but there will be high tensions. The focus and ALL the focus should really be on you.

Re: I've got some drama.....

Watch is nah V2...you just come and already you are seeing what we have been enjoying for so long. Anywho,...you'll are being very nice about this situation - let me tell you something, where I am from and this stupidness was to happen, there would definitely be drama, I talking rock, bottle, the weave coming off, the high heels - there is no and's if's or but's about it a fight will broke out at the wedding...This is just too much drama, you seriously need to talk to your FH and tell him that he has to drop this groomsman quick fast and in a hurry because you know your day will be ruined. I know that is his friend but who is more important - he gatta sleep with you every night for the rest of his life not his friend - sweetboy needs to go cause he is a lying heffer himself and sweetgirl needs to keep her bad chee out of your personal space....DAMN IT!

Charlotte wishes you all a beautiful Christmas filled with loads of love, laughter and the true meaning of this blessed season.

Re: I've got some drama.....

Wow!This is deep!You weren't playing when you said that you have drama!Well,I think you need to drop this trifling Negro from your wedding party.If he comes, his wife is coming too.It's only right because of course she going to want to see what "the other woman" looks like and prevent her hubby and "other woman" from hooking up. Otherwise, I agree with the sistas that there will be a serious fight!Especially, if alcohol is served at a reception.You don't want that memory for the rest of your life.And of course, a fight at a wedding will be something for people to talk about for a long time.

Born Blessed!

Yeah V2, feel free to mention me to Oprah anytime you like! lol. You girld are giving great advice. We don't tell you what you want to hear beetle, we will tell you what you NEED to hear. This is the best advice you will get. He really has to go. I feel sorry for your friend. But how did he get his EX pregnant? while he was dating your BM or was he dating his wife then your BM then got FW pregnant THEN married her?

Okay, maybe I should read down a little more before I ask this question, but if this is someone that would not come to your wedding if he wasn't in the party, WHY IS HE IN IT? Okay, let me continue reading now.

I would PAY to come to your wedding bettle. LOL. The BM and married GM aren't walkingup together are they? Man. I would in no way stay home if my hubby and his EX were in a WEDDING together. He probably is gonna have to tie her up and stash her in the closet until he gets back!

Exactly! Beetle you don't want your day to be ruined so youhave a tak with your friend and have your FH do the same with his boy. Let them both know this day is about the two of YOU! If the wife doe insist on coming let the GM know he needs to do WHATEVER he has to do to ensure there will be no drama on your day.

Re: I've got some drama.....

Ms.B my best advice to you is to pray to the almighty that he will give you the wisdom to handle this situation in the upmost respect and then sit down talk to your FH and let him know just how you feel and what you need him to do to stop the madness before it start.
