This guy has been one of my closest friends for a decade, we met in college and have been inseparable ever since. He started dating a liberal white woman about 3 years ago, she was always pleasant to me, but definitely a flaming lefty. Anyways fast forward, now they are engaged and I was slated to be a groomsman at the wedding later this year.
Since the election, the fiance has been engaging me about politics on social media. I don't post much political stuff, occasionally gripe about COVID and masks, and she always feels the need to respond with some condescending quip. Fine, I don't care, I'll be civil, you're my best friends' fiance. Well she kept it up, (never once did I start a convo with her) and called the people in the Capitol in DC "terrorists" which I took offense to because I was there and didn't commit any crimes. So I mentioned the reason we have a 2A and since she was born in Canada I shot back, "I know Canada is a second rate country and maybe they don't teach freedom up there." I guess that offended her so much that she made my friend call me and uninvite me to the wedding. Good riddance I guess, too bad it had to be that way.

Honest advice from a mom here: Not having to be a groomsmen in a wedding is a good thing. It is generally expensive and truthfully most weddings are not really worth the money or time you put into them. Be grateful you are off the hook.
Second, I am calling it now. It may take twenty years, but this marriage is not going to last. Your friend should tread lightly with this woman. He would be smart to end this relationship and seek a conservative woman to start a family with. His fiancé sounds like bad news. If they aren’t married yet and she is already making him ditch his friends and bossing him around, this will not go well for him. I hope he has a prenuptial agreement because this is what is going to happen. They will get married and have children. He will work and she will spend. Then she will tire of him and divorce him and take the children, half the house, half the savings...your friend should save himself the grief and aggravation and call off the wedding now. His future children deserve a better mother.
Yeah I am actually relieved about not having to use all those vacation days to travel for the wedding (and then have my work force me to quarantine, assuming that's still going on this summer)
Ironclad prenups get thrown out all the time, always to the woman's benefit. Very good points, and agree with pretty much everything here.
