GRR!!! venting!

hi guys! i'm new here.. .i introduced myself on the lurkers come out post a couple weeks ago.
anyway... i just need to vent. i have sort of a love-hate relationship with my 'friend' ' sally'. sally and i were best friends in high school and lived together for 3 years of college. thats when the problems started. she would do little things that would annoy me and build up and cause arguments. it got even worse the second year we lived together and i started dating my now FH. she can't stand him, and made it VERY clear- to the point of her saying to me right in front of him ' melissa, i always wanted you to date so-and-so'. so whatever.
SOO.. she got engaged and about 6 months into the wedding planning asked me to be in it. i agreed, because we have been through a lot together. the wedding was in july. when she got her proofs back from her photographer she had me over to look at them. there were 2 that i wanted, but since they were $15 each, i told her i would think about it. the next day i e-mailed her and told her that i did want them and to order them for me and i would get her the money. she never got back to me until about a week later. the e-mail said ' i NEED to fax the order to the photographer this morning, so i need to know now if you want those pictures. mind you this was a work day and i didnt get the email till that evening. i wrote her back and she said ' i'll see what i can do'. never heard anything else so i contacted the photographer myself and ordered them. maybe i shouldn't have done that, but i wanted the pics and she wasn't helping... she NEVER said she didn't want me to have the pictures.
SOO... fast forward to this morning, i get an e-mail from her saying ' you have no right to have our PRIVATE wedding pictures. please contact me ASAP so we can arrange for you to return them to me and get yor money back'. UMM... ok.... there were 150 peopl there that day who all had cameras... and the pictures i ordered weren't much different tha ones someone had taken with mine... just bigger.
GRRR!!! why are people so petty an bitchy?!?!

Wow that was rude and uncalled for. She is definitely upset about something. If you want to salvage the friendship I would see if she wanted to meet for coffee and talk things out. Here are some hugs...

Goodness!!!! She's got something crazy going on in her life- good God! Its true though, if you want to salvage the friendship, I would set up a time for coffee or at least hash it out on the phone, otherwise, just think whether or not you need/ want the drama in your life....

Why would she offer you the pictures to start with, and then be pissed that you have them? Number 1, she wouldn't get them back. You have paid for them, now they are your property and I don't believe she'd reimburse you to begin with if you did return them. (Know that this decision will cause your 'friendship' to be over). Number 2, she was never you friend, I'm sorry to tell you. We as women have to learn to let toxic people GO!!!

My best to you, and I'm sorry you're experiencing this.

That is Petty. I can't belive people these days. I'm kind in your pot with one of my girlfriends. When i told her who i was going out with she was like eww and when i told her i was getting married i don't think you should get married to him. I don't ha ve to listen to her it is my choice. But with the pics she told you to fax them she needs to make up her mind.

i think she has another issue with you - that is way to ridiculous to get mad over. You need to talk to her and ask straight up 'What is the REAL problem here.' If she can't answer that, she is completely out of touch with herself and a terrible friend.

Thats nuts! I would just keep them. You paid for them fair and dquare and if she didn't want you to have them she shouldnt have had you over to look at the proofs.

h*ell no! LOL i had always thought she would be in it... but not with all this going on. its mostly all because she doesn't like my fiance. i mean i'll admit... hes an engineer so he comes across as pretty weird a lot of times... but hes got the biggest heart, and shes so superficial she can't look past initial impressions. i mean if i was walking around with bruises from him all the time, THEN maybe shed have a reason to dislike him THIS much... but he treats me like gold!
i mean i did talk to her about why i'm not having her in the wedding... maybe shes upset about that, but its her own fault- LOL. the last straw was when she didn't even put my fiances name on my invitation to her wedding... and i was a bridesmaid!!! and.. did i mention HER husband is the one who set my FH and i up?? the two of them went to HS together and he introduced us.
so to make a long story short, like a few of you said... it was never much of a friendship and i don't think i'm missing out on much. thanks for listening
