Reddit Thinks This Woman Is Unreasonable For Forbidding Her Boyfriend From Being The Best Man At His Best Friend's Wedding
A controlling girlfriend knows no bounds. The things they forbid can drive their partners to the edge.

They tend to isolate their partners from family and friends. To make things worse, these ladies use every reason to prevent their partners from seeing their loved ones or attending major life events, such as weddings.
Instead of telling their partners to have a great time, the controlling girlfriends will bombard them with calls and look at social media to update themselves on the event. Experts believe that their tendency to isolate stems from a controlling girlfriend's fear of what their partners' friends and family will say about her.
Controlling girlfriends are also insecure. They constantly question what their partners are doing.
Their lack of trust isn't the fault of their partners. They simply aren't confident about themselves.
Take this woman who posted on the "Am I the A**hole?" (AITA) subreddit as an example. The original poster wanted to ask the community if she was wrong for forbidding her boyfriend to be the best man on his best friend's wedding day.
What's the reason, you ask? Well, this lady had a falling out with this best friend's fiancée.
She strongly stood her ground, saying that she doesn't want to witness the person who betrayed her "celebrate love." Since she's pregnant, she had the opportunity to weaponize the situation and told her boyfriend that he needs to prioritize her and the little one growing inside her womb over his best friend.
Seeing how controlling she was in the situation, redditors found the original poster unreasonable. Let's see how they reacted.
The original poster uses a throwaway account to explain the situation.

The fiancée admits she's an a**hole for exposing her like that.
It's just so sad that Reddit had to be the way to end the drama. Involving the internet wasn't necessary.

Redditors agree that the original poster is in the wrong.
And there's some interesting development too. Sadly, the original poster never responded to her friend on Reddit.
We don't know what will happen next. But we do wish the boyfriend gets to be the best man without getting stressed by his controlling girlfriend.
