Fh’s Bestman not coming to Bachelor party.

So my fiancé’s BM is the only person who said no to not coming on the combined bachelor/bachelorette trip we have planned.

So my fiancé’s BM is the only person who said no to not coming on the combined bachelor/bachelorette trip we have planned. We made the trip as cheap as we possibly can and asked everyone their budgets ahead of time and when it went a little over me and my FH chose to pay the difference. I know it’s not because he can’t afford it because he’s been telling FH about all the money he’s making now that he has a new job and has nothing to spend it on. We invited his BM over for dinner and I cooked his favorite thing and he never said thank you or offered to help clean and then backed out on our plans for later that night because he apparently planned to go out the next night with other friends. He planned all of that after committing to our plans. FH and him have been friends since they were 12 and lived together for the past year. It amazes me that he can just act like this whole thing is unimportant. I want to have a talk with him about it because I know it hurts my FHs feelings but he’s a guy so he would never say it. How do I say “hey stop being a bumhole to your best friend and help him celebrate.” In a nice way😶

    Do literally nothing. There is no reason that he needs to attend the party. Neither my FH nor myself will have our entire bridal party together for the optional parties because we are all adults with busy lives. It is not at all a big deal and my friends don't love me any less and I don't love them any less because they can't attend.

    I'm not sure it is your place to say anything. This sounds like something FH should be bringing up since it is his friend.

    You saying something to this guy might actually make things worse.

    I know it stinks that he doesn't want to come to the bachelor party, but he's allowed to not want to. It's not for you to decide how someone should spend their time or money.

    As for the other behavior, if FH is really bothered by it then I would suggest talking FH about it and seeing if he wants to bring this up with BM and support FH in what he decides to do in the situation.

    That’s some good advice! Thanks! I was honestly mad when posted this so now that I’m not as heated it’s easier to see where everyone’s coming from!

    A healthy conversation with FH is in order. I can understand being upset about how someone is treating the person you love, but if FH is allowing it he is who needs to be addressed. Perhaps this is an opportunity for you to see the way FH deals with conflict and you can point out your concerns to him with love and no judgement. It would never be your place to address his friend about how he is treating FH, that is out of line. Fighting his battles unasked sets up a precedent of disorder in your marriage. Lovingly help him do what needs to be done or leave it be if he sees no issue.
