Woman Finally Gets Pregnant And Tries To Control Unknown By Making Her Husband Miss His Best Friend's Wedding, Redditors React

by Maryjane

A fantastic best man does more than just show up to the wedding and cross their fingers. Being a best man requires a lot of planning and effort, particularly if you want to go above and beyond the groom's expectations.

At a wedding, the best man has a lot of duties. As the groom's right-hand man, the best man is essential to making sure everything goes according to plan on the wedding day.

In fact, the best man has a lot of responsibilities, ranging from planning the bachelor party to keeping the rings. Although it comes with a lot of responsibilities, being the best man at a wedding is an amazing honor and this was bestowed upon the OP's husband but there was an issue.

You see, the OP is expecting their first child in the next few months. It has taken them a long time to get there, as the OP struggled with infertility issues.

So while the pregnancy was wanted, it was a surprise when it happened. OP's due date falls a week before her husband's best friend's wedding, and it's two hours away from where they live.

Now, the OP isn't saying her husband can't go, but she did give scenarios when he would have to stay back with her. Read the entire story below to learn about the scenarios.

OP has offered the following explanation for why they think they might be the a-hole:

I am preventing my husband from going to his best friend's wedding because I MIGHT be in labor.

The OP left this edit later on

It's not really the logistics here for me if it should be two days before he can go, our two days after. It's the willingness and emotional support to figure out the best plan. Do I think my needs are higher than his best friend's yes. But i understand reading these comments that that also may minimize my husband's needs. This might make me sound like more of TA but I am just looking for reassurance that he understands and wants to prioritize me especially if there are ways I can still see it working. I agree I should not have come at it from a place of "no" that was distracted by fear and trying to control the unknown which is my responsibility.

In order to avoid having to find a "fill-in" at the last minute, it's better for OP's husband to make plans to attend the wedding but reject being the best man. Some Redditors pointed out that babies don't adhere to routines as you can give birth prior to or before the due date.

OP's husband has a great deal of flexibility as long as he is not performing the role of best man. At the end, Redditors couldn't find any AH in the story.
