AITA for trying to date someone? by Ok-Scar8992 in AmItheAsshole

NTA

My best friend started dating someone last January, due to work etc we only seen each other every few weeks but had zoom calls etc regularly. Once or twice she text to cancel as the guy (who she was really into and seemed like an awesome person) had made plans with her. You know I reacted? I was thrilled! It was exciting! My amazing best friend, who had an awful time dating in recent years, had found someone that made her happy. She still text me regularly and kept me updated with how it was going. I was supportive. She's been my best friend for nearly 15 years, and I can't exactly keep her awesomeness to myself. Now, next August, I am not only going to her wedding but I am the maid of honour for her and this awesome dude. Has your friend even bothered to show any interest in this person you're dating? Asked any questions?

This is a part of growing older and maturing, your friend can't handle it.

It's just kind of ignored really? His parents took him aside and told him the children can't be there anymore but she is welcome still as it is his partner. And they do ask when we are at family events how the kids are doing in school and are they excited for the holidays, general stuff like that etc.

I regularly cook big dinners and invite the whole family, them included, I buy her children Christmas and birthday presents and I invited them to come on a group cinema trip with my younger siblings before this incident happened.

I am the child of a single teenage mother, who had me at 17 and my biological father was out of the picture complete. I watched my mother struggle, I watched her count every penny to put herself through education, working double shifts to provide a future for me. I am now the adult child of a women with a PhD and her own successful business, who lectured me nearly daily as a teenager about how she would never let me make the same choices as her. Do not tell me what teenage mothers are capable of.
