'Being around her makes me feel sick to my stomach': Bride screams at groomsman's wife during wedding, wife leaves ceremony and refuses to hang out with the couple after they continue to talk behind her back

Let's combine the ultimate bridezilla and a truly predictable high-school mean-girl…

And there you have her: Your husband's best friend's wife.

 You've tried to be civil for the boys' sake. They've been best friends since childhood; the least you can do is pretend to get along as their wives. But this wife is a total nightmare, and not the 'oh my teeth are falling out, type nightmare…the kind you can't shake off, even after being awoken hours ago. 

You still like to be the bigger person, so you put on the smile, put on your wedding-guest outfit for her and her husband's wedding, for which your husband is the groom. You even go an extra step in providing her with a few favors before the ceremony. 

But then it happens.. The last staw plucked, tweezed…whatever you'd like to call it.

Out of nowhere, she screams at you in front of everyone, demanding that only the wedding party can be in that certain area of the venue. She loses it, causing this sweet woman to miss the whole wedding. And the best part? 

Mrs Bridezilla can't understand why this woman doesn't want to hang out together as couples after the wedding…Oh, darling, it might be time to read the room, or at least ask your husband to.

    AITAH For not wanting to hang out with my husbands friend as a couple after his wife was a bridezilla and yelled at me?

    Aahnoone NTA. No one should be forced to spend time with a person who never matured beyond the high school mean girl stage. She is lucky you are nice. Others, who are just as "abrasive" when needed, would have put her in her place multiple times by now.

    AmaraASI OP That's a good way to put it. She's definitely a "high school mean girl". Considering that I didn't have a very good high school experience, there is no way will I allow myself to tolerate that in my life now when I can choose otherwise.

    Competitive Fee_5829 YTA. wow...you are just a lil drama queen, huh? you act like she found you and yelled at you and ONLY YOU but she didnt. You seem too sensitive to be out in public or something. I cant believe you sat in your car because someone yelled in your direction. lol. how adorable.

    AmaraASI OP There were 3 of us, and only 3 of us, and we all sat in our cars because there was no other choice. Shall I go find a spot in a field to sit while I wait to be formally invited to seat? The bride overlooked where her early guests were meant to go and made no accommodations for them. This gives her permission to yell at us?

    No-Shock-2055 NTA. Your husband's friend married an AH, so now the husband's friend has to live with the consequences. I know you love your husband, but you shouldn't be forced to spend time with someone who is unpleasant. Stand your ground.

    Entire-Conclusion540 NTA: your husband is looking for you to keep his friend's wife company. Suggest to hubby that maybe they should just make it a man's trip for just them two.
