28-year-old bride invites brother's ex instead of his wife in an attempt to set them up together again, he refuses to attend or even send a wedding gift: "She doesn't feel comfortable"

My biggest flex is that I don't have a "one that got away." All of my exes are exes for a reason, and as such, they should remain in my past. However, plenty of people still find themselves pining over old relationships, romanticizing the good parts and minimizing all of the bad parts. Perhaps it is their own behavior in that relationship that they wish they could correct or prove that they have learned from their mistakes. In most cases, old flames should not get back together – especially if either one is married.

In our story today, a married man's wife is not invited to his sister's wedding. However, his ex, who happens to be his sister's friend, does get an invitation. She passes it off as not wanting any drama, all the while making it clear that she is scheming to set the pair up again. At least, that is what internet commenters seem to think. To make your own judgement, scroll down and get all of the juicy deets.

AITA for refusing to attend my sister's wedding-or give a gift-after she invited my ex but excluded my wife?

She didn't want to start drama, huh? Well, not inviting your brother's literal wife to your wedding is a sure-fire way to stir the pot.

Our protagonist is a great husband for standing by his wife through all of this and not giving into his family's pressure.
