Imagine being asked to be the best man at your childhood friend’s wedding, only to be replaced by a college frat bro after months of planning and bonding. That’s exactly what happened to one guy, who was left feeling hurt and underappreciated after his friend decided to swap him out for someone else. So, he made the tough decision to skip the wedding altogether, causing even more drama between him, his friend, and the bride-to-be.

Best Man Betrayal: The Aftermath ️
Our ousted best man stood his ground, refusing to attend the wedding after being replaced by a frat bro. The bride-to-be told him to grow up and be a good friend, but he argued that they’re all grownups with no obligations to each other just because they’re childhood friends. This led to some serious name-calling, leaving everyone wondering if he’s in the wrong for skipping the wedding after all his efforts. Let’s see what the internet thinks of this sticky situation…
NTA- Best man demoted for a ‘spur of the moment’ friend

NTA! What an absolute melt. You’re better off without him.

NTA – Demoting someone from best man status after spending a ton of money for a bachelor party is an a**hole move. OP handled it maturely, but calling out the groom’s dickish move wouldn’t have made him an AH.

NTA: Skip the wedding, end the friendship, profit!

Revoking best man status is petty and unappreciative. What a jerk move!

NTA obviously. Sounds like he used you for the bachelor party.
