Man Finds Cousin and Girlfriend Cheating in His Bed, Ruins Their Wedding
I once looked up to my cousin. I thought he was a great guy, and we were close like brothers. I was also dating a girl, I was deeply in love with her and planned to marry her someday. I thought my life was perfect.
One day I came home early because a colleague offered to cover my shift. I was pretty tired so I accepted and went home. Arriving home, I found them in my bed, having s*x. Both of them were shocked to say the least. I told them I wanted them to be gone by the time I got back and left the house. They were gone by the time I did get back but she left me a note telling me she was sorry and to call her when I'd calmed down. I didn't call her. I text her saying that I'd gather her things and drop them off at Cousin's in a few days and that she's staying with him now, not me.
I followed through with that. It took about a week to transfer everything. Both of them tried to apologise and but I didn't have anything nice to say to them so I said nothing. I just knocked the door and handed the bags to whoever answered before leaving.
I found them in my bed, having s*x.
Three years have passed since then. I went no contact with them. I didn't bring it up to the rest of my family or any of their friends, I'm not sure why. I just didn't. I got a call from a number I didn't recognise so I answered. It was my cousin. He sounded really happy and was acting like he hadn't destroyed my life. He explained he and my ex were getting married and he wanted me to be his best man. I was so angry that he had the utter gall to act like nothing was wrong and lost my temper. I yelled at him and called him names before hanging up. He sent me a text telling me the offer still stood and if I didn't want to be his best man then he just simply wouldn't have one. A few days passed by and I had an idea. I texted him back and apologised. I sent a paragraph of bullshit saying I was still angry but this could be an opportunity for the three of us to heal and move past it. He was overjoyed and said he'd pay for everything and he'd help me pick out a suit if I wanted, which I accepted because I sure as s**t wasn't going to spend any money on his stupid wedding if I could help it.

The wedding day came. I had spent the week prior writing a speech, putting all the negative feelings that had bottled up over the years into words on paper. The wedding was pretty good. I'm sure one of them has some nice well paying job or something because they must've spent a decent bit of money on this wedding from how nice it was. Our entire family was there, as was a decent chunk of my ex's family.
🏠 The Aftermath
I followed through with that. It took about a week to transfer everything. Both of them tried to apologise and but I didn't have anything nice to say to them so I said nothing. I just knocked the door and handed the bags to whoever answered before leaving.
My cousin called me multiple times to try to apologise but I refused to accept it.

At least now they've felt at the very least a fraction of what they've made me feel.
I'm not sure if I feel better having done this, but it did bring me great catharsis when people were telling me the wedding was ruined.
💭 Emotional Reflection
It's an honor to be at this wedding, and an even greater honor to be the best man. I was shocked that I was even invited at all since the last time I'd spoken to the bride and groom was when I'd found them f***ing in my own bed. <Ex's name> was my partner at the time you see, but I don't think she got the memo that when you're dating someone you don't f**k their cousin in your partner's own bed.
And it wasn't like <cousin's name> didn't know we were dating either. Who knows how long this slimy c**t was f***ing her behind my back. Weeks? Months? For those unaware <Ex> and I had been dating for two years. I loved her with all my heart, and was actually saving up to get a proposal ring. Maybe if <Ex> wasn't such a wh**e, <cousin> would be giving this speech instead and I wouldn't have been struggling with mental health for three years.
Anyway, I've heard 50% of marriages end in divorce. I hope yours is a messy one. From the bottom of my heart, f**k you both. You ruined my life, and I will never forgive either of you.
I'm not sure if I feel better having done this, but it did bring me great catharsis when people were telling me the wedding was ruined.
It's understandable why you would feel that way after what they did.
Their actions were despicable, and you had every right to express your feelings.
While your speech may have been harsh, it's clear that you were deeply hurt by their betrayal.
Despite mixed responses, it's evident that emotions were running high at the wedding.
