Last night there was about 15 ladies at a friends house. She is getting married for the 3rd time next Saturday. Unfortunately her 1st husband died, her 2nd marriage ended because she cheated with the man she marrys on Saturday.
We were drinking, chatting and laughing. No problems there until 3 ladies including the bride decided to talk about how they had cheated. The talk got more and more crude
as they were discussing 3somes, positions etc.It seemed as though they wanted to be the naughtiest. . Now I'm no prude but I am good friends with her ex-husband and also the ex-wife of the groom to be.(we live in a very small town). One person stood up and said I don't mind having a laugh but this is not funny as she walked out myself and another friend joined her.
This morning I got a group chat from the bride saying that us 3 are boring and that's what hen parties are about. Were we being UR.

How inappropriate and crude Shock

ScreamingValenta · 26/05/2019 12:13

No. Good on you for standing up for your principles.

DownUdderer · 26/05/2019 12:14

What! That sounds awful!

Pipandmum · 26/05/2019 12:15

Really? I pity the poor guy she’s marrying. I’d have done just as you did and walked out. Good to have the courage of your convictions and not just sit there getting increasingly uncomfortable.

Moralitym1n1 · 26/05/2019 12:16

No, they sound scummy.

I'd distance yourself as a friend; though it sounds like that will already happen

Also I find people who are scummy infidelity wise are often generally scummy and you'll be on the receiving end of it at some point.

Riojaandchoc · 26/05/2019 12:16

You would have been unreasonable to stay! They sound horrible!

Moralitym1n1 · 26/05/2019 12:16

Really? I pity the poor guy she’s marrying.

It sounds like he was cheating too (?)

helpmum2003 · 26/05/2019 12:17

Yuck - YANBU

Groovee · 26/05/2019 12:17

That sounds awful. I don't think it's boring to leave when uncomfortable.

BogglesGoggles · 26/05/2019 12:17

YABU for being friends with someone like that.

binglybongly · 26/05/2019 12:17

urgggh no YNBU!

Mummyoflittledragon · 26/05/2019 12:31

YWNBU. That was too much. I would have found that shocking and maybe a bit funny in my late teens but beyond that, just no.

Jaxhog · 26/05/2019 12:31

Good for you! Totally inappropriate conversation imho.I'd have walked out too.

TapasForTwo · 26/05/2019 12:32

Good for you. Anyone who is proud of such scummy behaviour isn't worth having as a friend. It says more about them than it does about you.

Oldraver · 26/05/2019 12:32

No, up to you to not want to listen to that.

MrsElizabethShelby · 26/05/2019 12:34

You went to your ex husband's fiancé's hen do? Why?
Did he cheat on you with her?

The whole dynamic sounds completely fucked up tbh.

Mandala6 · 26/05/2019 12:34

YANBU.
Go girls!

SavingSpaces2019 · 26/05/2019 12:35

i wouldn't go to Hen Do number 4.....

maras2 · 26/05/2019 12:36

I'd have left too.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 26/05/2019 12:37

YANBU. I hate crude talk as well, and believe me when I say I'm the furthest thing from a prude. Its just cringing to listen to it.

Their marriage won't last. I have no doubts about that. If they can cheat on their ex's. They'll cheat on each other. They're not the sort of people I'd want to spend my time with.

DannyWallace · 26/05/2019 12:38

Ugh I'm the type of person I bet I would've just sat there feeling awkward (and knocking back the wine!)

Good for you three for leaving. I'm definitely no prude, but I can't stand people who have some kind of pride when it comes to cheating!

justilou1 · 26/05/2019 12:38

Eeeeew... cheap and nasty. Line in the sand for me. I’d skip the wedding, too.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 26/05/2019 12:39

Also what does around usually has a habit of coming around.

60secondfacetimer · 26/05/2019 12:39

@mrselizabeth what are you on about!

Read the OP again!

UnicornDust9 · 26/05/2019 12:41
