It's not always a good idea to call an ex years after the breakup. It's even worse to call them when you're about to get married (unless you're still good friends with them and you want to invite them to your wedding).

Calling them because you haven't moved on ultimately leads to disappointment. That's because it's likely they won't reciprocate your feelings.

The only time you should contact your ex is if you need to settle some payments with them (loans or mortgages, for example). If your ex hasn't called you about it, initiate the call if these obligations involve you both.

Do not call them for reasons other than unfinished business. You will only regret it.

And don't be like this bride-to-be who got angry at her best friend for telling her to delete her ex's number. Don't be mad at friends who're only concerned for you.

A Redditor named TAhippotutu wanted to know if she was wrong for being brutally honest with her best friend who'll soon get married. During her bachelorette party, the bride-to-be got so drunk that she called her ex-boyfriend who also happens to be a new father.

The original poster (OP) told her best friend that she should delete her ex's number, especially now that she's getting married. This did not sit well with the bride-to-be and she even asked the OP to leave earlier than the rest of her friends.

A woman wanted to be judge on the "Am I The A**hole?" (AITA) subreddit.

The original poster attended the bachelorette party of her best friend.

The best friend got so drunk. She remembered the times when she was with her ex.

Half a decade has passed and it seems that this best friend is still not over the guy.

The best friend called her ex numerous times.

As a concerned friend, the OP told the bride-to-be to delete her ex's number

The OP's best friend asked her to leave earlier than the rest.

Moreover, the other bridesmaids think the OP is a killjoy.

The OP decided to consult her sister about it.

Some Redditors pointed out that the closure part isn't supposed to happen before the wedding.

Looks like someone isn't ready to get married.

You will always have memories of your ex.

The bride-to-be is still carrying unnecessary baggage.

Remembering exes isn't equivalent to missing them.

Even if you still have their number, there's no reason to call your ex if they're no longer part of your life.

Some Redditors didn't like the fact that the bride-to-be called her ex who has a new baby.

You can talk smack about your ex during a bachelorette party, but calling them is a different story.

Some Redditors think that the OP needs to tell the groom about it.

The OP needs to question this friendship.

The OP did nothing wrong.

It's definitely not OP's fault that her bride-to-be best friend hasn't moved on from her ex.

The bride-to-be should reconsider her decision to marry.

It's never right to call an ex, especially if they're completely out of the person's life. The bride-to-be should be thankful that her friend is blatant about her actions.

If she's still hung up on her ex, then she shouldn't get married. As for the OP, she probably needs to consider if having a friend like this is still worth it.
