‘I’m my best friend’s maid of honor, I found out my ex dumped me because of her’

A woman took to Reddit to share a story about her best friend’s wedding, in which she was the maid of honor.
For background, she explained she has an ex-boyfriend, who she called “John,” and they two of them dated for four years. They were serious enough that they started planning their life together, including the wedding, kids and more.
She thought they were happy, until suddenly he ended things with her, citing something “personal.”
During that time, her best friend “Stacy” and fiance “Tom” supported her, even letting her sleep on their couch. Stacy asked the user to be her maid of honor.
Come the morning of the wedding, Tom asked her to meet up for an early breakfast. He then revealed some shocking news to the Reddit user.
“What happened instead was that Tom let me know that a few days prior, Stacy admitted to him that she had an affair with John, which was what led to my breakup.
“He said that Stacy wanted to come clean to ‘start their marriage fresh,’ and that he was forgiving her to move forward.”
Tom said he had gone back and forth in trying to decide if he should tell the user. He ultimately decided to, thinking she’d forgive Stacy as he had.
Instead, she walked out of the wedding. That caused a commotion, as the user was basically running the show. People then realized she was gone, and the news of the affair had eventually gotten out.
Stacy and Tom are now slandering her online, saying she ruined their day. Some are saying she should’ve handled the situation privately and finished out the wedding. However, she thinks that if Tom wanted her to stay for the ceremony, he shouldn’t have told her right before.
In the comments, people agreed that she did nothing wrong. In fact, some say she could’ve caused a bigger scene, but decided to take the high road by simply leaving.
“Was walking out of the wedding the day of a nice thing to do? Not particularly. But what on Earth did they expect would happen by telling you? And on the wedding day. They knew they were playing with fire. They chose when to tell you this information. Simply walking out – because whoa nelly I bet there were a ton of conflicting emotions – was pretty adult. You didn’t cause a huge scene. You simply extricated yourself from the situation.”
