Hi everyone, first time posting. I’ve browsed a few
pages of the boards and didn’t see a past post close to my issue. My FI and I
got engaged a few weeks ago. We have been dating for over 7 years J
He has a friend that he’s known since middle school. I am not going to go into
all the details but basically this guy is an admitted alcoholic that likes to
party. He doesn’t know how to control himself in social situations. He doesn’t
like me because I don’t “allow” my FI to go out with him on the weekends. He’s
a 34 year old man that lacks any sense of responsibility and never takes
anything seriously. His role model is Will
Ferrell in the movie Step Brothers. (I’m not joking) I understand that it’s
my FI’s choice on who he wants in the wedding, but I refuse to let his friend
be a groomsman. I know that I will be stressed the whole day about who is
babysitting him and what he might do/say during the ceremony. My FI said that he
and his best man will have a chat with him about the way to act but that is not
the least bit reassuring. I feel tension every time I am around him. The
thought of having him in pictures make me feel sick. I’ve talked asked close
friends for their thoughts and they see my side because they know the person
and his history. Please HELP!
