The Banned Guest

Do you invite the partner?

The Banned Guest

You are planning your wedding. It is a small intimate event. Your oldest friend has been dating a partner who is completely toxic. This partner has insulted you to your face and routinely causes public scenes. Your friend insists they will not attend your wedding unless their partner is invited.

Do you invite the partner?

Then ask

  • What is worse: rewarding bad behavior or losing your oldest friend?
  • Would your answer change if the partner was family instead of a friend's date?
  • How much discomfort should you endure to keep the peace?

The classics and some new ones. A scenario, the question it forces, and the follow-ups that make it bite.
