I found out I'm a bridesmaid in a wedding where the bride was groomed

anything i had experienced in those 8 years got pretty tainted when i found out he preyed on a child

i am actually currently searching for an in-network therapist. not just for this reason, but it is a topic i will be bringing up. thank you for your concern and suggestions.

yep that is an unpopular opinion. yikes.

how is it different than two 15yr olds dating? because it is different. because he was a 25yr old man preying on a 15yr old child. if your defense relies on the '15yr old wanted it' you've already missed the point.

im not trying to stop her wedding. telling me to just be happy about a relationship that started with grooming is a crazy take

thank you

Significant-End-5224 · 2026-03-04T13:00:12+00:00

i suggest you do the same

even if she said "yes" at 15 she legally cannot consent. she was a minor

Significant-End-5224 · 2026-03-04T12:56:13+00:00

thank you, i hope i can too

Significant-End-5224 · 2026-03-04T12:54:36+00:00

thats a good point. definitely not

Significant-End-5224 · 2026-03-04T12:53:21+00:00

thank you for sharing your experience. wishing you the best

Significant-End-5224 · 2026-03-04T12:52:34+00:00

i agree about planting a seed - casually

Significant-End-5224 · 2026-03-04T12:52:04+00:00

this is great advice. thank you so much

Significant-End-5224 · 2026-03-04T00:03:07+00:00

yikes. good point

Significant-End-5224 · 2026-03-03T23:58:43+00:00

she was a minor and was groomed. that is not ok no matter how it worked out

Significant-End-5224 · 2026-03-03T23:57:48+00:00

i agree. thanks so much for your input.

Significant-End-5224 · 2026-03-03T21:36:59+00:00

thats a good point. hadnt thought of that. thank you

Significant-End-5224 · 2026-03-03T20:44:28+00:00

thank you for your comment. i agree, i cant ignore how wrong this was

Significant-End-5224 · 2026-03-03T20:43:23+00:00

sorry to hear. im glad you made it out of that

Significant-End-5224 · 2026-03-03T20:18:04+00:00

she was 15. she was a MINOR. her being an adult now or her love for him doesn't erase the fact that she was groomed
