Need a GREAT reason to skip a family wedding? Try this on. A woman recently shared on Reddit that her sister is about to get married...to the woman's ex-boyfriend. If that isn’t bad enough, the sister is also pregnant, AND she and the ex got together when he was still with our Redditor.
The poster says that when the sister and the ex first got together most people - including the fam - were on the her side, but now that they're getting married, things have changed. Even the mom is trying to get the woman to make up with her sister, saying her "future niece deserves to have a loving extended family and a loving aunt.”
But the scorned woman just can’t move past it. "I don't want to just play happy families and let it go," she says, adding she doesn’t want to go to the wedding because “I have zero interest in celebrating their love.”Here's what the Internet had to say:
- The cheated on woman wonders if she’s wrong in this situation, and for the most part the Internet is fully behind her.
- "Your family should support you and care for you," one person shared. "Your sister did neither."
- "Most of the time I'd say 'let bygones be bygones' but this is too much," another commented. "I'm not sure I'd have any relationship with her if I were you."
- But there were some people who urged her to reconcile with her sister.
- “Original Poster isn't an [expletive]," one person commented. "But she needs to understand what is going to happen if she pursues this course. She will be in some sense cutting herself off from her family.”
- "I wouldn’t go either," another person added "You should forgive them for yourself though. It’s not approving of what they did, but letting the anger go for your own peace of mind.”
In the end the woman shared that she doesn’t think she can go to the wedding. "She broke my trust in a way I honestly feel like I can't recover from," she says. “I just can't let it go that she did this to me."
