Reddit Thinks This Woman Is Unreasonable for Forbidding Her Boyfriend from Being the Best Man at His Best Friend's Wedding

A controlling girlfriend knows no bounds. The things they forbid can drive their partners to the edge.

They tend to isolate their partners from family and friends. To make matters worse, these women use every excuse to prevent their partners from seeing their loved ones or attending major life events, such as weddings.

Instead of encouraging their partners to have a great time, controlling girlfriends bombard them with calls and monitor social media to stay updated on the event. Experts believe that their tendency to isolate stems from a controlling girlfriend's fear of what their partners' friends and family will say about them.

Controlling girlfriends are also insecure. They constantly question what their partners are doing.

Their lack of trust isn't the fault of their partners; they simply lack confidence in themselves.

Take this woman who posted on the "Am I the A**hole?" (AITA) subreddit as an example. The original poster wanted to ask the community if she was wrong for forbidding her boyfriend from being the best man on his best friend's wedding day.

What's the reason, you ask? Well, this lady had a falling out with her best friend's fiancée.

She firmly stood her ground, stating that she doesn't want to witness the person who betrayed her "celebrate love." Since she's pregnant, she seized the opportunity to weaponize the situation and told her boyfriend that he needs to prioritize her and the little one growing inside her womb over his best friend.

Seeing how controlling she was in this situation, Redditors found the original poster unreasonable. Let's see how they reacted.

The original poster uses a throwaway account to explain the situation.

The boyfriend must be really tired of dealing with her too.

In other words, so immature!

Then there are people who just want to be entertained.

They want the other party's side of the story.

The fiancée admits she's an a**hole for exposing her like that.

It's just so sad that Reddit had to be the way to end the drama. Involving the internet wasn't necessary.

peysval

She's open to making amends.

Redditors agree that the original poster is in the wrong.

And there's some interesting development too. Sadly, the original poster never responded to her friend on Reddit.

We don't know what will happen next, but we do wish the boyfriend gets to be the best man without being stressed by his controlling girlfriend.
