Feeling Left Out and Facing a Tough Choice
Our protagonist finds himself in a difficult situation, feeling excluded from his friend's wedding and now facing an awkward friends' trip that's morphing into a groomsman getaway. He's honest with his friends about not wanting to be the only non-groomsman on the trip, but it's clear they're not happy about it. Is he being unreasonable or just trying to protect himself from feeling even more left out? Let's see what the internet thinks of this predicament... 🤔
NTA. Friends are excluding OP from a tradition and now trying to change it to a wedding event. OP has every right to skip it and have fun at the destination wedding. 😬
