What a nightmare...

Last weekend we went out with FH's friends and found out that one of the Groomsmen is heavily addicted to Coke. FH did not know as they do not hang out very much anymore, but they have been friends since grade school...

Myself and the Groomsman DO NOT get along at all, never have, but I agreed to have him in the wedding because he and Fh go back so long. Now, I'm freaked right out that he will show up high.

Tonight FH and all his friends are doing an Intervention, but I honestly don't think it will work. This guy just refinanced his house for 550,000.00!!, has secret investment properties out of Province to provide income for his drug use, and his wife knows nothing!

I DO NOT want him at my wedding, let alone in the WP! But how do I make FH oust him?

Advise desperatly needed!

I think you need to wait until your FH

reports back on the intervention. If this

 guy isn't willing to seek treatment,

then your FH  might be more inclined

to go along with your request

 

Right now, he is busy supporting his friend

and that is an admirable thing for him to

do.  Put yourself in his place for a moment.

If you learned that your MOH had a

serious drinking problem, would you be

happy if your FH wanted you to instantly

kick her to the curb?

 

Let him take his shot at helping this guy

see the light and then deal with the

results.  Keep us posted on the updates.

Personally, I think this is your FH's decision.  Cross your fingers and hope things go well.  Express your concerns to your FH of course.  But ultimately I think it's his decision.
