I have 3 total bridesmaids and FI wants no groomsmen. This does not bother me, but it bothers my parents (who are paying for the wedding). My dad keeps pestering me telling me it is "weird" and that he thinks my brothers should be groomsmen. He says he even may tell my brothers they are groomsmen without FI's consent.
I'm not completely sure why FI doesn't want groomsmen. He has depression, so there's just some subjects I need to tread lightly with and this seems to be one of them. We talked about having his father and older brother before, but it was never a for sure thing. My dad told me I should just force him to have groomsmen by choosing them myself since it's "all about me anyway."
I hate that my parents/family seem to have this point of view. When I was asked why he didn't want them, I told them that I didn't know, which led into a whole conversation about how he and I "don't communicate/are going to have communication problems." It really frustrates me. We communicate fine - he said he didn't want them, I said okay and was fine with it. The only reason I want to ask him why or try and see if he would reconsider is because of my family.
Any advice on how to handle this?
