My brother got married last month. I (22f) went alone bc my boyfriend had an actuary exam in two days so he had to stay and revise.
During the reception ‘Perfect’ by Ed Sheeran came on and people started pairing up. Yes, mostly it was with their partners but the best man - a childhood friend of my brother, whom I have known since he was 5 and I was 3 - offered his hand and we slow danced for that song.
In my head it was strictly platonic - I’ve known him for almost 20 years and there’s never been a shred of anything more - either from him or from me.
Anyway, we get some of the videos / photos back and my boyfriend is majorly upset I was dancing with the best man. Said it was betrayal and that I shouldn’t be dancing to such intimate songs with other men.
