AITA for not inviting my fiancé’s best friend’s girlfriend of 6 years to our wedding?
My fiancé and I are getting married soon, and we’ve decided to invite his best friend, but not his best friend’s girlfriend of six years.
For context, I’ve never really clicked with her, and over the years I’ve had several interactions with her that left a bad impression on me.
The first time I met her, she was doing my lashes, and while we were talking, she casually brought up two girls my fiancé had liked before we got together. We had literally just met, so I found it strange and uncomfortable that she would bring that up.
Another time, I walked into a restaurant where my fiancé’s friend group (about 13 people) was already eating together. As soon as I walked in, she loudly said, “Wow, you really had to put lip gloss on.” Everyone heard it, and I felt embarrassed and singled out.
She’s also asked me, “Why are you so quiet?” in front of the whole group on more than one occasion. I’m naturally reserved around people I don’t know well, so being put on the spot like that in front of everyone made me uncomfortable.
I’ve never confronted her because I don’t enjoy conflict, but I’ve also stopped trying to build a friendship with her because I don’t feel comfortable around her.
Now that we’re planning our wedding, my fiancé and I have decided to invite his best friend but not his girlfriend. I know they’ve been together for six years, and I understand many people see long-term partners as a package deal, but I also don’t really want someone at my wedding who has repeatedly made me feel judged or uncomfortable.
My fiancé supports the decision, but I know some people may see it as rude or exclusionary.
