Learnt this weekend that sailors actually schtupped dugongs.
What is wrong with people? Leave the poor marine mammals alone! Why can't these sailors develop a perfectly good toy boat fetish?!
Hauser: You really think you can solve the problem? Come into Wolfram & Hart and make everything right? Turn night into glorious day? You pathetic little fairy. Angel: I'm not little.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I doubt that the kind of person who would refuse to come to his brother's wedding over a disagreement with someone else would accept an apology.
It wasn't just a disagreement though, he doesn't want to hang out with the guy who nailed his girlfriend.
I think Broseph is being a bit over the top with "him or me at the wedding" since its been a decade -- but I can understand him still disliking the guy and really not wanting to be around him.

In my experience, real apologies (less "sorry, dude get over it", and more, "dude, I was an asshole. there's no excuse. if you have to hate me forever, I understand. But what I did has always bothered me and I wanted you to know that. I hope one day we can be cool again") can break a grudge big time. Sometimes.

He doesn't have to. It's a wedding. There will be plenty of other people there. It's not like asking him to a dinner party with 6 people.

but only if the person being apologized to is receptive. Doesn't sound that way to me. But, maybe I'm underestimating Broseph.

Poor bon bon, I'm guessing you weren't actually trying to solicit advice on the matter.

Broseph is totally being a selfish ass. But PP created the rift, and it's really up to PP to fix it. Tell PP to get in touch with Broseph and work this shit out. PP needs to man up and take the punch or whatever he's got coming to him.
Yeah, that's not a bad point. Not getting to come to the wedding may be the whatever, though.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That's exactly what I was going to say!

Doesn't want to see him then. Be around him. Whatever.
I agree he's being a big fat baby about it, but I can understand his feelings.
And an apology from someone you simply don't want to see or speak to or any of the above? Sort of pointless.
Ugh. It's a mess to be sure. Poor Bon Bon and Bob Bob.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Poor bon bon, I'm guessing you weren't actually trying to solicit advice on the matter.
No, I mean, I do know Broseph and PP and have given it a lot of thought already, I wasn't soliciting advice. But I don't mind people discussing it; it's just the kind of thing buffistas would discuss. And maybe I do need someone else's POV. So go forth and speculate.

The thing is, I can understand how Broseph feels. If the woman that cheated with my boyfriend was going to be at my sister's wedding, I wouldn't be pleased. I'd probably still be a little pissed at my sister for being her friend. BUT, I would say "I really would rather not see that bitch, but I want you guys to be happy on your wedding day. Just don't sit her at my table and tell her not to talk to me"
