When mates let you down.

[snapper28]

So my mate asked me to be best man at his wedding. I happily accepted as we have been close for 15 years. I move away to Melbourne just after the annoucment but we keep in touch. I then receive a phone call from another mate telling me that the wedding is this weekend and that all the boys are off for drinks in Sydney tonight.

I call my mate, who just casually tells me that its only family who are coming and that there are going to a registery. Thats fine, but you would of thought he would at least let me know the change of plans? I would of considered the best man part of that family group. Anyway I guess it just highlights that mates will let you down. Anyone else got a similiar stort to share?

maybe just maybe your his best man because you have been the designated driver all those years. Are you usually the sober one.

Something smells fishy.

Reckon you should show up blind drunk on his big day and cause havoc.

Then at the end- say something like who's the designated driver now bitch.

It sounds like a case of moving away and consequently losing touch with your friend(s). This is what happened to me when I moved away to another town. My former friendship group didn't really want to know me. You become less important to them once you move away.

No designated driver here. I think the bottom line is that he's a strange guy. Maybe had something to do with an attempted group session/partner swap.

you should not have banged his bish better than he does it. Thats a rookie mistake

 

[Northworth]

isn't the best man supposed to organise the bucks night
is it possible that your mate is annoyed that he had to organise it?

 

[Colin D'Cops]

Had a few odd things happen (not recently), but everyone has their faults. No one's perfect.

Just put it in the memory bank and soldier on. Forgive, but never forget.

If this was you trying to initiate it and it occurred after he asked you to be best man, then it sounds like you're the one who let him down. I can't imagine how shit I'd feel if one of my friends coming up to me and saying he wants to **** my fiancée and then trying to organise a night through me where he can do this.

What sort of mate goes around trying to hook up with your missus?

AFAIC, once a girl is dating a mate, she no longer holds any physical attractiveness to me. You just turn off, like you would regarding a sister or cousin.







(says the guy from Tasmania).

you seriously just answered your own question man....

 

[Igloo]

Geez, I didn't even notice that the first time I read through it. Pretty much answers the question.

Sorry, you're the best man and you didn't know that the wedding was on this weekend??

[Simon_Nesbit]

1. Get asked to be best man.
2. Proposition the bride.
3. Skip town.
4. ?

Not really on topic but a best friend of 15 years I once had just became a total stranger overnight. It was a surreal moment when you realise how quickly you can become so different to someone. I was let down a few times and after that it became awkward.

 

[snapper28]

The group sesh was not my idea at all. This was sprung on me and my girlfriend after a few drinks. This was also before I was asked to be man. It was awkward but I moved on from it.

Lets put it this way. If you were to best man at your mates wedding and then discovered that the wedding was this weekend and you were not invited, how would you feel? My from my end I think the friendship is dead.

how many people went to the wedding? if it was purely family then it'd be a little odd but not a friendship breaker. if there were other friends then obviously your not in his good books for some reason.

now getting back to the group sechs, we need more details. who initiated? and onto whom and how many people? what was their motive? wang to puss ratio's? just rooting in the same room or actual partner swaps? binary ratings? Xtreme ratings? Why didn't you consent? Would that have caused him to not invite you?

details.....

 

[rayven]

Maybe just maybe they have really clicked, have other priorities, does happen..or she hates you...

 

[Illinois Nazi]

He found someone else, someone willing to play swapsies on the wedding night.

I haven't moved away but have several mates that have, always kept in touch with them and visited a couple of them (and we are talking overseas moves not just within Aus), some of them have moved back and said they found out who their true friends were by moving away cause they were the ones who made the effort to keep in touch.
