People put in a lot of thought when choosing their best men and maids of honor. You don't want just anybody to be in that role. Sometimes you may want your bff to be that person for you, but at the end of the day they are just not a good organizer and may end up making more a mess rather than ensuring your day is extra special.
This is all to say that there is usually a special bond between a bride and her maid of honor. The bride chooses someone she truly trusts and believes has her best interest in mind.
This woman, however, even after 12 years of friendship decided to drop out of being her bff's maid of honor because her brother strategically confessed to her that the bride hurt him 6 years ago and he cannot bare the thought of her getting married. Do you think it was fair for her to drop out?
Let's get into it.

    Handwriting - My (25f) best friend of 12 years (25f) is getting married in 3 weeks. I was supposed to be her MOH but I dropped out of the role last week and before you judge me let me explain why.

    Font - My best friend has been with her fiancé since they were both 19. A little before she got with her fiancé she had a short fling with my brother (29m) . It wasn't a serious relationship and before the fling started she made sure I was ok with it and it wouldn't affect our friendship at all and I assured her that the only way this would affect our friendship would be if she cheated on my brother in case they were in a committed relationship. To my knowledge they were never in a committed rel

    Handwriting - Even after the fling ended and after months my bff got with her now fiancé, my brother and her were friendly. They barely spoke but they weren't hostile towards each other.

    Font - So few days before I dropped out of my MOH role my brother revealed to me about how he had admitted he's in love with my best friend back then.

    Font - He says he's always been bitter about how she dropped him to get with her current fiancé and how she was very mean when she rejected him. When he admitted his feelings to her she basically told him that they're nothing more than just a fling and there's not going to be anything more between them. My brother told me she was very mean to him and told him he's not her type in the slightest and he's not the kind of man she'd be in a committed relationship with. He felt she used him as a place

    Handwriting - Now look. She's my best friend but he's my brother. And I can't imagine siding with a person who hurt my brother like that. For all these years I thought they ended their fling in amicable terms but apparently not. I can't be a MOH at a wedding of a relationship which left my brother heartbroken.

    Font - So I dropped out. I told my bff the exact reason why and she was furious. She said my brother is stuck on the past and the only reason she didn't tell me was because she didn't want to put me in an awkward position since it's my brother. She said my brother and I are ridiculous for holding something that happened 6 years ago against her and how I'm basically an AH for dropping out over something so petty and minor just few weeks from the most important moment of hers. I don't think it was

    Font - doggirlie · 7h Partassipant [1] 2 Awards YTA (and so is your brother). So you're ending your 12year relationship with your best friend solely because she didn't have the same feelings for your brother as he had for her 6 years ago? He could have told you this at any time, but right before the wedding so she has to sweat about it? Dropping out doesn't make you a good sister. It does make you a bad friend.

    Font - 19louie82 · 7h 2 Awards YTA. This timing is hugely manipulative of your brother and I'm not surprised she dumped him if that's a true reflection of his character. It sounds to me like she was upfront and honest with him about the exact nature of their relationship, as she was with you, and he didn't like that boundary. I always worry about men who try to burn other people because they didn't like being told they can't have something. Dropping out now, for this reason, is horrible and mean

    Font - tonysvanstrom · 7h Certified Proctologist [29] YTA for letting your brother manipulate you into betraying your bff simply because he's jealous of her now being completely outside of his reach/ hopes. Your brother played you because he's still stuck on your bff. 1.9k 3

    Font - MakeupForBarnie · 7h Asshole Enthusiast [7] S e 2 Awards YTA Did you ask why he held onto this until it was the perfect time to manipulate you into damaging her wedding? 6 YEARS! Has he been seeing a counselor? Has he not had any relationships since then and you never asked why and you say you love him and never noticed this? Your brother just manipulated you into causing your supposed (and now, I assume ex) BF extreme anxiety right before her wedding. You're not a good friend, but you go
