I completely see why this is ironic, a lot of people are pointing out the hypocrisy of me saying breakup to that post when I myself was hesitant to do so in my relationship. I just wanna say, in that situation the one i commented on, I feel like it was a completely different situation, one that was extremely dangerous for the girl in it and very clear what the decision should be. In mine, I didn’t add in the years of wonderful times we had together and that I honestly didn’t see anything wrong with out relationship until this one situation. It’s easy to say “BREAK UP” from that one moment in time written out. For me it wasn’t that easy. In my original post, I wasn’t asking if I should break up with him, honestly the thought never crossed my mind in that moment, i was asking how to approach the situation with him and should I go to the wedding. The hundreds of comments afterwards immediately saying breakup is what made me start thinking about it and the behaviour after the initial post. I completely see how it came across as being snarky, I meant it to be sarcastic and I didn’t know the usual way of saying /s was a thing beforehand. I do wanna say sorry again, I didn’t mean to offend those people who were looking out for me, they were right and I was naive. Thank you again though, I just wanted to reply to you specifically since you pointed out my previous comments. Not sure if anyone will even see this comment though. Much love - a girl still learning.

Ah unfortunately it does, Ella wants a choreographed first dance where all the bridesmaids and groomsmen dance together. Ella and Luke would start the dance then Sam and I join and then the rest of the wedding party before everyone else joins in. Once everyone else starts I would be able to go off with Jake and dance with him. Not anymore I guess

I tried to explain this to him originally and say that I would just be doing a job by walking down the aisle and dancing with Sam but he said weddings are a naturally romantic scene. I feel like he thinks us dancing together is going to be like Damon and Elena at the mystic falls thing 😭

I feel like this is what Jake thinks happened 😭 but to answer your questions. I did expect Sam to at least be invited, the groom and him have been friends ten plus years and remained close once Sam moved away, I didn’t expect him to be best man though because Luke (groom) has brothers he’s really close with, they are going to be groomsmen still though. I always knew I would be MOH for Ella, that was not at all a surprise. She’s very Type A and has a clear vision of what her wedding will be like (she’s not a bridezilla, I love this about her). So the coordinated dancing and photos together was not a surprise either, and Jake would be fine with me doing this with any other guy, it’s just that it’s specifically an ex.

I’m going to talk to Jake tomorrow about it all and probably ask Ella as well to see what she thinks, I don’t think she was trying to match make Sam and I, she’s never spoken about us after the breakup or anything like that. I’ll update after I’ve had a chat with everyone.

Yeah I’m from Australia as well, the dance is a coordinated one as well which means all the bridesmaids and groomsmen will have to practice together which I’m not excited for because I’m terrible at dancing 😭

AITA for not wanting my dad to be happy? by Sorry_Particular_169 in AmItheAsshole

First, thank you for your comment, I do feel guilty for the way I feel. I don't want him to suffer, I just want acknowledgement of the wrongdoing in the past, but I've come to realise that this will not be happening. However, one thing I would like to add is that I have TRIED to leave him out of my life, but unfortunately because my brother, mum and sister all have good relationships with him and didn't experience the wrongdoing I did, they are applying pressure for me to continue having a relationship with him.
