I have a group of friends that are still mutually friendly with my ex and I. Only I feel that most of them have taken his side after our break up. Not that I was asking for anyone to take sides but it would've been nice to have some friends to lean on and talk to. My question is I've been invited to a wedding next month for the guy that actually got my ex and I together many years ago, I am unsure that I want to go because #1 I haven't really been great friends with the groom of the wedding in many years,(haven't hung out with him in 4 years) and #2 my ex is the best man and currently dating/living with a girl that he had always liked throughout our relationship but never fully came out about it (even though in my gut I always had a feeling he wanted to be with her instead). He's always thrown this girl in my face, wanting me to be friends with her, and etc. My question is does anyone think I should go to this wedding as I'm really uncomfortable going but I don't want to be rude at the same time by not going? Any comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Shauna If I were you I would go with your gut. If you don't want to go just tell the person you can't make it. You don't own them any explination.

I would not go if I were you, you obviously have issues about what happened between you and this guy so why wind yourself up, as you have state you are uncomfortable then stay at home, if you go you will feel more insecure than ever.....be nice to yourself and remember him leaving you is his loss not yours....be nice to yourself
Thank you both, it's a very sore and complicated subject for me, and I just thought that someone else's opinion would help me decide. I already knew I didn't want to go but you guys made it a definite that I won't go. I don't need to be dragged through much more with any of those people....friends or not! They haven't acted as such since the breakup anyhow. Thanks so much!!!!
