Bride Thinks Groom’s Female Friend Is Just Difficult, The Truth Turns Out To Be Much Worse

It’s not uncommon for a woman to have an issue with her partner’s female friend. The relationship may be completely harmless, but in many cases, her unsettling gut feeling may actually be accurate. 

This is what a bride realized when her fiancé’s childhood friend and groomswoman refused to comply with her wedding-related request. After an ugly, dramatic episode ensued, she later uncovered the woman’s disturbing obsession with her soon-to-be husband that eventually had the police involved. 

Grab yourself a drink and some popcorn because this lengthy story just gets wild as you scroll through.

People who act entitled are often playing “status games”

Brittany’s sense of entitlement may have different causes and reasons, but because of her relationship with the groom, she may be playing what experts describe as a “status game.” 

Licensed psychotherapist Ira Israel describes this trait as a “fabricated self-importance” where the person is almost playing a character to flaunt their perceived standing among the group. 

“It is the deliberate performance of putative status superiority for transactional gain deployed by people who conduct their lives as if they’re always doing something extremely important,” Israel wrote.

In the story, Brittany seemed to believe that her presence was important enough to have the bride adjust to her needs. However, dress code issues are a common pain point in weddings that lead to drama. 

This is why etiquette experts like Anna Post encourage utmost specificity when it comes to describing the required attire. 

“So make sure to paint a picture for loved ones when asked,” she noted. “Examples can offer a better idea on how they can pin down the right note to hit.”

The problem, however, was Brittany’s response. And while disinviting her may have been a drastic move on the author’s part, it was within her right to do so. Unfortunately, it only caused tension, and some people sided against her.
