In some cultural traditions, a man’s best friend is considered a full-fledged member of his family, and sometimes even more important. Of course, we live in a modern civilized society, but true friendship is still highly valued. And some people take too much advantage of it.

Of course, it’s great to have a friend who always tells you the truth – in all situations, no matter how sensitive they may be. But sometimes the presence of such a person in the family becomes a threat to the existence of the family itself. And then you have to make perhaps the most difficult choice in your entire life.

For example, like the fiancé of this woman, whose post on the AITA Reddit community has already gained about 10.7K upvotes and collected more than 1.5K different comments. The topic turned out to be close to many people – apparently, they are familiar with such straightforward friends firsthand.

The Original Poster and her fiancé were planning their wedding when they found out she’s pregnant

So, the Original Poster and her fiancé were planning a wedding when they found out she was pregnant. When the future spouses went to the in-laws’ house to talk about the upcoming joyful event, among the family members there was the fiancé’s best friend, Jason.

The fiancé’s best friend was a specific person notorious for his brutal honesty

This Jason was notorious for his specific behavior – he often behaved in an overly straightforward manner, telling people what he thought right to their face, and not at all caring whether his words offended them. However, the OP’s fiancé told her more than once that he loves Jason, despite his, as he himself put it, “flawed personality.”

Jason stared at the OP, so she understood he was clearly going to blurt out something inappropriate

So, when the OP and her fiancé told everyone about the future member of the family, Jason suddenly stared at the OP, and she felt uncomfortable. Perhaps it was because the OP had previously worked in the sex industry, so Jason, who definitely knew this fact, was clearly going to blurt out something completely inappropriate.

Jason suggested his best friend get a paternity test immediately

And so it happened. Jason walked right up to his best friend and said quite loudly, “Just three words, man. Paternity test, pronto!” Everyone was shocked, but none more than the OP and her fiancé.

The OP went off on Jason and just disinvited him from their future wedding

The woman demanded that Jason immediately explain what he wanted to express in his own words, but he, apparently realizing that he had said something really stupid, began to evade like he was simply joking and accuse the OP herself of just being a drama llama, always ready to make a scandal out of the blue.

The OP’s fiancé and his relatives told her she had gone too far

The OP responded that she did not want to see Jason at their future wedding at all, after which he left, repeating that he did not want to harm anyone. As a result, the fiancé and his relatives, despite the fact that they condemned the straightforward friend, still told the OP that she had gone too far, and Jason’s behavior should be taken more calmly.

However, people on Reddit massively supported the Original Poster

However, the people in the comments on Reddit were unanimous and fully supported the OP. Jason, according to some of the commenters, invaded their private life, and even if he had any reasonable suspicions about his friend’s fiancée, he should have talked to him personally, face to face. Otherwise, he just looks like a toxic jerk.

And some commenters also said that the OP’s fiancé should not have put up with such disrespect for his future wife at all – and not so important that it was his best friend. Such brutal honesty is no excuse for the awful things this man said.

We, in turn, will gladly accept any brutal honesty from you in your comments about this situation. And if you also share a similar story from your own experience – we’d perhaps consider you to be our best friends!
