'My fiancé's friend told him to get a paternity test - he's barred from our wedding'

A mum-to-be has told of her outrage after her fiancé's "brutally honest" best friend told her husband to get a paternity test.

Now she's tried to ban him from their wedding - but her actions left the wider family divided.

In a post on Reddit, she told how he had previously made personal "backhanded" comments about her past as a sex worker.

And now he has landed himself in hot water again after making a snide comment when the couple announced they were expecting a baby.

The man, whose name is Jason, didn't react very enthusiastically to the happy news, and now the pregnant woman has asked for advice on how to handle the situation.

Taking to Reddit, she recalled: "I avoided him but then he got up, hugged my fiancé then looked at him and said 'three words man.....paternity test pronto'.

"I was completely floored, Everyone was shocked but tried to act normal probably to defuse the situation but I walked up to Jason and asked him to repeat what he said.

"He tried to back off because my face was inches away from his. he was like 'chill it was just a joke' but I kept asking him to repeat what he said over and over again. My fiance got in the middle and told me to take a seat and calm down."

The woman - who goes by the username u/Throwra90678 - blew up at Jason, and told him he was uninvited from the wedding. He reacted by calling her a "drama llama".

Although her fiancé and mother-in-law do get why she's upset, they feel rescinding his invite was a step too far, arguing that Jason was "just joking".

She's now wondering whether she was being "too emotional", and has turned to her fellow Reddit users for advice.

One person wrote: "A couple things. First, Jason wasn't 'telling it like it is.' He was being friggin' insulting. You absolutely were within your rights to confront him, and confront him hard. Accusing you of cheating? No. Not acceptable.

"On top of that, if Jason truly had reason to believe you were unfaithful, the place for him to bring it up is privately, in a conversation with your fiance. Not in front of the extended family."

Another said: "Can we also stop and appreciate the level of audacity and lack of self-awareness that comes from someone that publicly and loudly tells a guy to get a paternity test in front of their pregnant fiancé and calls her a 'drama Llama'? It really is quite impressive."
