My ex-boyfriend cheated on me with my best friend – now they’re begging me to go to their wedding

A woman whose boyfriend left her for her best friend is left devastated after the new couple insisted on inviting her to their wedding.

Taking to Reddit, the woman has been desperately seeking advice after her ex-boyfriend and best friend begged her to come to their wedding – despite ‘betraying’ her to be together three years ago.

She explained that her boyfriend of a year and a half, Josh, 27, broke up with her three years ago so he could pursue her best friend, Ana, 25, who he “had feelings” for.

Josh and Ana had spent some time together, after being brought together by a mutual friend, but soon developed feelings for each other and began having an affair.

The Reddit user eventually found out about their affair, but said she was most angry about the fact that they “lied” about it.

“They made a fool of me,” she wrote.

“I had tried to be understanding and supportive, but they chose to lie,” she wrote, wisely deciding to block them both on social media and moving on with her life.

Fortunately, she moved on with her life and “found a job with a good income.”

Life went on as usual until a few weeks ago she found out through a mutual friend that Josh and Ana were getting married.

To her horror, she was then approached by her former best friend and asked if she wanted to be involved in the wedding.

‘A week ago I received a message from Ana telling me that she and Josh were getting married and that they wanted me to be part of the wedding party. I replied, “Congratulations. No, thank you.”

“I stopped having feelings for Josh and I’m even seeing someone else, but I don’t want to celebrate the wedding of two people who betrayed me,” she continued.

But the pair were ‘insistent’ that Josh even tried to contact her on a different phone number.

Even the people closest to her tried to persuade her to go – including her mother who “sounded disappointed” when she said no.

‘I find this all very strange. Why would you want your ex-girlfriend/ex-best friend, the girl you cheated with, to be part of your wedding party?’ she asked

Ana’s mother also called her and asked her to put aside her differences and go to the wedding, which she promptly declined. She said she believed her mother was eager to attend the event, regardless of its painful history.

She said: ‘Her mother berated me and told me to let bygones be bygones and be happy for her daughter. I asked her if she would convince Ana to go if I cheated with Ana’s boyfriend and then invited her to the wedding? She had no answer to this and I hung up.’

The Reddit user then asked readers for advice about her “insistent” friends and family.

‘This is getting way out of hand as I am receiving upwards of 20 to 30 calls and texts a day from their friends and family about this wedding.

“I don’t think it’s normal for them to be so persistent,” she added.

Ana even tried to contact her using a different phone number after she was first blocked three years ago.

“I don’t know how she got my number,” she said.

“Besides, my hometown is a small town and most of our friends knew I was being cheated on, which is why this seems so weird to me. I did block the people who were very insistent (including Ana’s new songs, Josh’s, and Ana’s mom).

“I keep blocking people who text me about the wedding, but new numbers keep popping up, which makes it even weirder that people are actually going out of their way to get new numbers just so I can attend an ex’s wedding.” can attend.’

In an attempt to advise her on the sticky situation, several Reddit readers took to the comments.

One user wrote: ‘They want you at the wedding to ease their own guilt. They think it will make people think all is forgiven and forgotten, when in reality no one will ever trust these two people with their partners or friends, ever let them rot and if people just go ahead and cut off contact with them too.”

A second suggested: ‘Block them all. If anyone else asks you why you’re not going, just ask with a bewildered look, “Why should I go to the wedding of two people who betrayed me in the worst way?” because honestly, it doesn’t make any sense.

“The little part of me wants you to go, glam up better than the bride, wear your best, sexiest, reddest outfit, walk in with a man bigger, fitter, and cuter than the groom, and make the bride cry. But… don’t. It sounds like you’re in a healthy place now and I’m happy for you.”

A third wrote: ‘I guess Ana doesn’t have many friends. No one trusts her around their boyfriends.

‘No one wants to be her bridesmaid. Ana has made her bed, and now she can lie in it. After the wedding they won’t bother you anymore. In the meantime, block.”

In response to the thousands of comments offering advice, the Reddit user thanked everyone and said she was seeking help from another friend.

‘I’m going to talk to a good friend who still lives in my hometown. She hates Ana for what she did to me, and maybe she knows what’s going on. That’s all for now. Thank you so much for all the advice in the comments and messages!’ she wrote.
