WIBTA for refusing to attend my brother’s wedding because he invited my ex as a bridesmaid?

My brother is marrying a wonderful woman.

Except she chose my ex as one of her bridesmaids. Lol.

My ex and I dated for five years and broke up badly.

She cheated.

This man’s concern was dismissed by his brother.

When I told my brother it made me uncomfortable, he said, “It’s not about you.”

He told me she’s his fiancée’s friend, not mine anymore.

He promised to keep us apart.

But I already know how awkward and humiliating that’ll be.

So he decided to just skip the wedding to avoid the drama.
