When your husband’s friend marries someone who makes your skin crawl, what do you do? Smile and suck it up for the sake of friendship?

Or bow out of every invite to preserve your sanity?

Because after one unhinged wedding meltdown, this lady has been dodging this woman like her peace depends on it—and honestly, maybe it does.

Read on for the story.

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

My husband was a groomsmen in a wedding a little under 2 years ago.

He was very close with the groom but unfortunately, their friendship started falling off shortly after the groom started dating his now wife because shes socially abrasive and has to be “right” in conversation as if everything were debate.

She once yelled at my husband to “get out” when he he walked inside of their house to use the restroom (he had grooms permission) when he was invited over for a visit with the groom.

It ended up being an uncomfortable visit in the garage.

Oh boy.

Que the wedding: The bride called me on our way to the venue (bridal party was asked to arrive 2 hours early) and asked me to pick up a sign in book since it was overlooked. I was happy to help.

My husband and I, 1 other wife, a friend of the groom and a few other groomsmen are chatting a bit during some idle time when I hear the bride screaming at the top of her lungs that anyone NOT in the bridal party is NOT ALLOWED to be in this part of the venue until the wedding begins.

Being one of the 3 guests there, one of 2 with spouses in the bridal party, I was very embarrassed. were no signs, no instruction, the valet never notified us, security never notified us of this rule.

Wow.

I immediately wanted to leave and offered to pick my husband up when it was over.

My husband was upset by this and said that he would leave if they found it acceptable to treat me like that, but I told him to stay, chalked it up to her being stressed.

I ended up sitting in my car for over an hour with the other wife and didn’t feel fully comfortable for the rest of the night.

We’ve seen very little of them since the wedding; they had a gender reveal and we didn’t make it because my mom just died a few days prior and I was still an absolute mess.

They were mad we didn’t go and made it an opportunity to talk badly about us.

No way.

Since then, I’ve only seen her for short moments in social settings where I try my best to keep my distance.

The groom has been begging my husband and I to go boating with them but I really don’t want to be stuck on a boat with her for hours.

My husband keeps bringing it up, and I keep reminding him that being around her makes me feel sick to my stomach.

I tell him to go by himself, but he refuses this option.

Well, you tried.

Every week for the past month he’s brought up offers to go boating and every week I refuse to entertain the idea of it.

He seems bothered by having to turn down what should be a fun time but understands that it wouldn’t actually be a fun time.

I feel like I may be the AH because husband and groom were very close and now that he’s married to a woman I don’t feel comfortable around, I am becoming the “factor” that keeps them apart.

Between the screaming, the grudge-holding, and the zero accountability, she’s just not interested in pretending everything’s fine.

But now her husband is stuck in the middle, and Reddit had plenty to say about who’s really rocking the boat here.

This person says NTA at all and to stand her ground.

The bride screamed, the groom begged, and Reddit’s ready to throw someone overboard…

Weddings are wild these days.
