i just need to get this off my chest (long BM vent)

i may or may not delete this message later, but for now i just need to vent..

95% of my bridal party were my college roomates, with that said, i also havent seen them 24/7 since 2004 like we used to.

we annually have a thanksgiving dinner at someones house (we started it in college the week before the actual holiday) and im glad to say we kept this up.

other than that, we only all gtg for birthdays and maybe a summer BBQ, maybe.

2 of us are in grad. school (myself and another who is a full time teacher)

another pulls 2 jobs 6-7 days a week.
one works a 9-5 job
one works in an after school program.

because its hard to see eachother i do cherish the time we do meet up, but it is as you can see our schedules, and jobs to even plan to see eachother.

this year for my birthday i was extreamly bummed. i was sick of Manhattan, and im not in to clubbing (since FH cant drink, its not fair for him to see everyone else drink around him)
All i wanted to do was go bowling, and wanted to do it at the bolwing out in long island.. all the girls were not thrilled bc of the distance thought I was being unfair, and only 2 girls or 4 showed up.

one of the 2 that did not come, said it was unfair of me and felt i was trying to prevent her from coming (she lives in the Bronx) that is not the case and we talked about this... and i explained to her that i did not want to go to the city. (mind you she has a car and i dont)

then she wanted to take me out to dinner.
the other girl that did not come went along with someone else, not the origional complainer.

she did not want to go to dinner bc she was having 'boy' problems and was depressed (we rescheduled dinner twice, once for her)

*sorry its so long and i applud you if you read this much so far*

so fast foward to this weekend, when i get an email about brunch in NYC on sunday the 20th.
myself and another can not go, since sun is my only day off... i see FH then and then only. (I'm sorry but he gets time always) and the 19th im seeing the baseball game...

we get an email back from the one who complained and never showed up, that she feels that we can take time out of our busy schedule to see eachother if it meant so much to us in the first place.... (mind you she did not show bc of a BOY, not bc of already planned plans)
she then cont to tell us that even if its our only day off she feels we shoudl still go out, and push aside some proiorites once in a while... and tickets, or movies, or plans.. that, THAT should not be an excuse... (not an excuse.. if im at a baseball game that will cost me 80$ i WILL GO!)
**and priorities... so i shouldnt see FH to see everyone on the one day i am off and have tiem to sleep (when i see FH we lay in bed all day<-- we are lazy bums)

i dont kno... i dont get it...
this is all coming from someone that couldnt see us bc she was having a 'bad break up'

sorry again for so long!!!

you have a right to vent. so sorry she's not being understanding maybe she needs to be 'gently reminded' that she wasn't around the last time because of her own guy situations and that perhaps her priorities are misaligned as well

sorry. i'm in a b*tchy mood today...

Re: i just need to get this off my chest (long BM vent)

no i have been debating to call her back or call her out in an email to her only about not goign out for my birthday bc her priorities were in teh 'other' direction...

but i decided against it, and vented to you and FH about it... i dotn want to start a fight.. and i just want to move on...

but it hurts... hurts that she literally picked on ME and my goign to a baseball game and beign busy on teh weekeds with FH ... (jeese its the ONLY time i see my fiance.....)

sorry for sounding bitter.

Firstly I think that for a special occasion such as a birthday yes you should push some priorities around to make. For a 'just because' get together I don't think you should feel as though you have to shuffle your schedule around.

I think when she first mentioned this you should have mentioned your birthday and the break up situation. I'm sorry that is very selfish and I would have said something in the first place.

I'm usually the type to avoid confrontation but I'm coming out of my shell. But I have been through my friends boyfriends and break ups for years and if they think they can treat me like sh*t just because some guy did... well I'm going the give the H-E-Double Hockey Sticks!

Anyway, at this point I wouldn't bring it up and move on like you mentioned. Not everyone is perfect and she was stressed because of the break up and probably wasn't thinking when she said those things (but she still should have been there for you on your b-day).

i read all the way through! LOL!...ummm making plans in l.i. with someone who lives in the bx and has a car shouldn't be that much drama, unless they are mr. magoo and are likely to drive into a tree (trees dont grow in the boogie down)!!!

I'm sorry : ( It's really hard to keep up with a group of friends. I always wondered why other than family, how my relatives made it to their 40's with only a small close group of friends...but as I'm getting older I see. People who don't have what you do (For example: An Education, A Fiance or bf/gf for that matter, house, bills, etc...) they cannot relate to what life is like with all that AND a FT job. It's hard getting older...
