A man has been with his fiancée for 4 years now, but prior to their relationship, his fiancée was his sister’s best friend.
Even after he began dating her, his sister remained very close to his fiancée. They stopped being what you would consider besties, but regardless, they’re close enough that they spend time together once a week.
His fiancée and his sister frequently go shopping with one another, or they go to the salon too.
“I also have a brother, who recently got a girlfriend,” he explained. “He’s been dating his GF for 8 months. She’s a very conventionally attractive woman and she works in a modeling company.”
“Her character though is not as nice. Their relationship with my brother is very toxic, both of them take advantage of and mistreat each other a lot in several ways, and also she has insulted my sister and my mother.”
“That has caused a strain in the relationship between my brother and my sister/mom.”
Anyway, his sister is getting married soon, and she just selected the bridesmaids. What’s strange is that she didn’t invite his fiancée to be part of her bridal party, but she did ask their brother’s new awful girlfriend that everyone hates.
Obviously, his fiancée was devastated that she wasn’t asked to be a bridesmaid.
His fiancée said nothing though because she didn’t want to upset his sister. He also chose not to bring up the issue with his sister.

Well, not that long ago the family all got together to hang out, and his fiancée was clearly trying her very best to put on a front and not act upset to be around his sister.
She didn’t do the best job hiding her feelings though, and his sister phoned him up after they hung out to ask what was up with his fiancée.
He tried to brush it off and not reply with the exact reason why, but his sister continued pressing him for an answer.
Then, his sister questioned him on if this was all about the bridesmaids in her wedding.
Eventually, he told his sister the truth; that his fiancée was sad to have not been invited to be part of the bridal party.
He also made it clear to his sister that he was hurt and insulted by her choice too. He told her it wasn’t right of her to not have his fiancée as a bridesmaid, when they had been good friends for close to a decade, but to instead include their brother’s girlfriend who treats their entire family terribly.
“She said not asking my fiancée is nothing personal, it was more of an aesthetic choice because my brother’s GF has an old-money vibe while my fiancée looks “cheap” no matter what she does,” he said.
“I said her reasoning made things even worse and she should be ashamed.”
His sister ended things by attacking his fiancée and accusing her of being insulted by the decisions she was making for her own wedding.
He’s really left wondering what to think.
