therunner Posted April 10 Report Share Posted April 10 I had the same issue two years ago. And all of our friends agreed that this guy should not be getting married to this girl. Hell, we didn't think that he should've ever dated her. I took it this way...We told him that we didn't approve of the wedding. Told him that he could do much better, and that maybe he should hold off for a while and see how things go. But he insisted in getting married. So with that, since he is my friend, I will support him. I did support him. I went to the wedding, did my part and saw it through. They have been married for two years and moved to Hawaii. I have talked to a few of my friends in Hawaii who knows them, and they said they are on the edge of divorce. I talk to him still quite often but don't bring up the "bitch". I wish the best for them. Love is crazy. Just because you don't like what your friend is doing is no reason to boycott the wedding. You like your friend but don't agree with what he is doing. I suggest you let him know. But let him know that you will support him in any descision he makes. I think it would take a better friend to support in a bad descision, than to just drop him and say "I told you so" a few months - years down the road.

marcid21 Posted April 10 Report Share Posted April 10 Originally posted by dgmodel i would never drop him.. just not be the bestman... however i think that i am going to have to go along with this debacle and go down with the ship... you should def. support him. I know you don't approve of his fiance, but you're really not there for her. As it is his side of the isle is looking sparce, so why take away from that? Sometimes in situations like these you just have to go along for the ride. You could be right but...right now he's thinking otherwise and you have to respect that.Just be there when the empire collapses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
origskeemr Posted April 10 Report Share Posted April 10 If he is like a "brother" to you then you have to support him in his wishes of having you as a Best Man. He's your really close friend then not being his Best Man is sorta an insult if you don't except IMO. I say fuck it, bite your lip and wish him best luck in the future.

sassa Posted April 10 Report Share Posted April 10 i think you would be doing more of a favor for your friend if you were to tell him how you feel and if he is a true good friend he will listen to what you're saying. often at times, it is easier for a person who is outside of a situation to see things more clearly. if you don't feel good about them getting married, then maybe you should tell him so, and possibly avoid a potential divorce down the road. divorce has gotten to be such an easy thing to do anyways that it seems like no one gives a damn anymore about talking about certain issues with their lovers before they settle down, like money, future plans, children, living arrangements, careers, etc. you have to make sure that someone you're going to be with will support you and understand how you want to go with your life as well as your life together...i would tell him how you feel. marriage is a beautiful thing and if it is taken lightly, what's the point of falling in love...i know some people feel that you don't have to get married if you're in love...but i kind of like the whole soulmate idea myself...good luck.

Is he happy? Why do you disagree with the marriage? How often do you speak or see him since he lives in cali? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just remember, would you like it if he didn't support you? Just focus on him and don't make yourself like her. Even the worst of people eventually are found out to have some good qualities. If he's old enough to know better, than let him decide his fate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
