Best man keeps dropping out of the wedding?

Your FH needs to talk to him. Figure out what the real issue is. It sounds like he's jealous of your relationship or misses his best friend being all to himself.

Him being your best man has nothing to do with this. Put the wedding aside, and have FH fix his friendship first.

How about fuck him?

How great is this friendship that he's constantly getting pissed at your FH and then on top of it, threatening to shirk his place in your wedding because of it? Fuck that guy. Next time he drops out he's out. Now he's a guest because he couldn't stop having tantrums.

@Mrs. CK, I have been with my FH for almost 7 years, could it still be him missing his best friend? :/

Um. Why are you making this so difficult?

If he dropped out then he dropped out. he doesn't get to assume he's back in. He can attend as a guest. He dropped out of his own volition- just carry on with out him.

Why are you putting up with that type of shitty behavior?

TBH, he kind of sounds like he's in middle school....

Next time he drops out then he's out for good! Don't let him emotionally manipulate you!!

Honestly i was fine with him being completely out the first time he dropped out but my fiancé is all for 2nd.. 3rd... and even 4th chances :/

What a child! Talk to your FH and let him handle it. If it was me, I would have told him to go Fuck himself the 1st time he caught the tantrum...

I agree with pp he's acting like he's doing you a favor being in the wedding. Tell him to fuck off, you don't need that petty drama

Honestly, this does not sounds like a best friend. He's emotionally manipulative. I would have just let him drop out the first time, he's creating unnecessary drama.

Sometimes there is just no pleasing friends like that. FH had a friend like that who pulled some nasty stuff when we moved in together three years ago. We had a regular Friday night get together and his first response after we told him where we were moving - 25min away - was, well I won't be coming anymore then. He did come a few times and he acted disrespectfully, and we still felt guilty every time. Finally, he stopped showing up, and while we reached out a few times to no response, we felt it best to let it go. You don't need such negative friends, holding your friendship over your head every time you do or say something they don't like.

Your FH should talk to him and let him know he's acting like a child. If he feels like their friendship is something to be used as a bargaining chip, then perhaps he should cash it in and get out of the game.

He can come as a guest if he wants to come. That is such petty, childish behavior and I wouldn't put up with it for a second longer. People who feel the need to make things about them & bring drama just drive me up the wall.

Your FH needs to talk to his friend to see what the real issue is because this is just childish behavior

If he dropped out then he's out. He's a guest. End of story. WTH is this so difficult?

Yeah just keep him out. If he says anything act confused and say no you're a guest. You dropped out of the WP dude. No patience for that kind of BS.

Glad he will be able to talk to him. He'll probably drop out completely but it sounds like it'll be less stress

I would just keep him out of the wedding at this point. No need for all that unnecessary childish behavior! You do not need that stress in your life!

Sounds like Best Man might be a little jealous of best friends happiness or he might simply be throwing a "B*tch Fit" because he feels like his bestfriend is officially being taken away from him now. Either way, something is going on and FH should get to the bottom of it quick so that you guys don't have to worry about unnecessary stress! Sorry you both are dealing with such foolery

No advice, just makes me think of this picture lol

I wouldn't even give his best man and now groomsman that much control. Next time he threatens you and your FH that he will drop out, tell him there is no return. You don't have time entertaining an adult to be in your wedding, especially if it's your close friend.
