    Font - My (f26) fiancé (m28) have been together for four years. He's been friends with "maya" (f30) for six years. They're fairly close but she doesn't like me much. It's usually not an issue, some people just don't mesh. We don't mesh. Edit to add: there's no heavy animosity and we can be near each other fine, we just don't talk when we are. We don't actively hate each other, just prefer not to hang out together. She isn't against us getting married and likely would say yes to being a bridesmai

    Font - We're recently engaged and he'd like her to be a bridesmaid. I don't. He wants her in a dress matching my bridesmaids, on my side, participating in the things we're doing. I said absolutely not, she doesn't even like me. I've seen wedding photos where one bridesmaid clearly doesn't want to be with the bride and I don't want that.

He accuses you of saying she can't be in the wedding... as if you aren't allowed to not want her in it. As if ir is a bad thing not to want her in your wedding party. Girl, you're absolutely entitled to not want her in your wedding. She doesn't like you, you don't like her, why would you be in the wrong about not wanting her? Don't argue that point anymore. Say it outright that he's right, you don't

    Font - KraftyLikeAFox • 4h NTA. Speaking from experience, my SIL asked me to be a bridesmaid years ago and I felt obligated to say yes (we are fine with each other BUT same as you and Maya we just don't mesh and aren't friends). I was uncomfortable at every event. I say that because it's really unlikely Maya wants to be a bridesmaid anyways and really wouldn't like coming to all the bridal events (just like you don't want her there).
