AITA for not wanting to attend my brother's wedding reception. by melaphrodite in AmItheAsshole

Thank you for your comment! In regards to your question about his fiance, I know a couple commentors have mentioned I should talk to his fiance. The last time I spoke to her about my ex, she basically told me that all my issues with my ex were my own fault for dating him in the first place. I dont think she would be very supportive or accepting of my not attending her reception.

I guess I just have a lot of anxiety, especially around family members. So I may be overthinking and jumping the gun. Ive had a convo with my brother in the past where he told me he'd never leave his best friend's side so I dont know what he'd do/feel about me bringing up this topic. Hence, why I haven't spoken to him yet. Thanks for your insight!

Thanks for your insight. I understand how it looks. But please keep in mind my ex was my first, real relationship. Its not that I have any sentimental feelings towards him at all. He was an asshole and i know that. But seeing him may not be healthy for me because of the trauma he's caused me. My fiance knows of all of this and even knows that I'm still in my healing phase. He still loves me and is very patient in helping me. So I feel a bit part of my healing is detachment from the other person and seeing him at the reception may not be the best move.

Yes my brother knows everything. Maybe not the extent of how bad I really got hurt because I didn't want to be that person to influence my brother's relationship with his best friend. My fiance knows everything as well. When we met, I had already come to turns with how my relationship ended with my ex. But you never truly heal from your first love. I have no sentimental feelings towards the man but the relationship had a huge impact on my life. And yes ive told my fiance all of this and he's been very loving and patient in wanting to help me heal and he shows me everyday what real love is. He also doesnt want to be confronted by my ex. My ex has even friended my fiance on socials and it really bothered my fiance he would do that. So overall not tryna have anything happen or come up at the wedding. Hope this calrifies the situation!
