Issues.........

Sorry if this is soooo long………
I have had a few issues with my MOH not being available for things. To be honest, I don’t really care, but she is making me feel guilty for not scheduling things when she is available. Back in June I wanted to go looking for my dress. I asked her and my aunt when would be a good day for them to go and look. I asked MOH for a list of days she would be free. The following week I made an appointment for a Saturday that worked for both MOH & my aunt. My MOH got upset and told me as it turns out she wasn’t available that day. She had a party to attend at 4pm with her boyfriend. I told her my appointment was at 1pm, maybe she could come for a little while before hand. She said she had a few family things to do in the morning. (which mind you I found out later she never went to) I told her not to worry, it was my first appointment and wanted to go to a few places she would still be able to come another time. I also made an appointment for the following Tuesday after work (we work together) to go and look at another place. I ended up finding my dress the first day, but wanted to keep my other appointment just to be sure. We went, along with my Aunt and 2 other girls from the BP to look and I wasn’t thrilled with anything. Afterwards, I said I wanted to go back to the first place to try on “my” dress again. My MOH told me she had to go cause she was meeting up with her bf and would maybe go with me the next day to look at the dress I loved. I ended up ordering my dress that night. The next day she got upset with me for ordering it without her there. I kinda let it roll off my back. The girl at the bridal salon kept giving me better deals if I ordered that night and I didn’t want to pass it up. That week I started talking to all of the BP about when they would be available to go look for their dress. All of them live locally, except one who lives in the city. I basically asked her what days would be best for her than asked the others to see if that worked for them. Again MOH was the only one who had issues. After going back and forth, she eventually agreed to a Saturday in late July. After we found the dress, everyone went back to my house for some food and drinks. MOH left early to go meet up with her bf. Still I was fine with all of this. Now yesterday…..I get a card in the mail saying my dress is in. MOH was the first person I called. She told me she was very excited and couldn’t wait to go with me to see it. She then said she had to go cause she was in the middle of something and would call me back. She never did, which again I was fine with. I called the Bridal salon and they said I didn’t need an appointment I could come in whenever to see my dress. Of course I can’t wait I figured I would go today after work. I came in this morning and tell MOH all of this and her response was “oh really, I can’t go tonight, I have to go take care of bf’s dog, can’t you go another time” I suggest tomorrow, she has plans, and I have plans for Sunday. I told her I really didn’t want to wait, I was sorry, but I really wanted to see my dress. She gave me a bit of guilt trip. Now I feel like, wait a minute, I have tried to be flexible with my schedule to accommodate her, but she is always busy with bf. At first I felt bad for not being more accommodation, but now I’m starting to feel a little put off by her behavior! Sorry for the long story. Just needed to vent a little.

WOW!! thats crzy! if that was me i would say something!! IMO she is not being a gfood MOH and she if putting her BF before everything else......the dog couldnt stay in the house alone????? I would explain to her that when she accpeted to be you rMOH responsibilities came along with it and she should be there with you thur everything....maybe you need to trade her in lol

I've thought of this. Her bf isn't even really her bf. They have had this on again/off again 'friends with benefits' thing for years. It's a weird relationship. I thought maybe she was acting this was cause I was getting married and maybe she is upset cause she's in this odd undefined relationship.

Re: Issues.........

i think you've been way to tolerable with her. and very accomodating. you go see your dress with or without her. i agree with some of the other girls, there is probably a big jealousy issue going on.

i hope things work out!

Re: Issues.........

Thanks for the support. I was thinking maybe I was overacting and taking it too personally. The wedding is still 8 months away, maybe she will get it together. (I hope anyway)

If she can't be unselfish and not think of you then why does she think you need toe revolve around her...talk to her and tell her this.

i have 2 be the devils advocate here, why do you need her to go with you?? Just because we are getting married doesnt mean everyone else's world has to flip upside down as well.

I am starting to go look for my dress & I ask my MOH & BM's if they are available & if not (which many of them arent) oh well, I'll go on my own. I know its nice to have moral support and everything, but some things you just have to go at it alone.

Everyone has their own schedules & things to do, yes she can try to be accomodating, but I wouldnt stop what I was doing either. If I am free I'll go if not than I just cant, no matter what the reason. Now if you make plans & she cancels that is a different story. There can also be other reasons why she is doing this so it wouldnt hurt 2 ask.

I understand, and this is how I feel as well. But every time I make an appointment, she gets upset with me for not making it around her schedule. Then she gives me a guilt trip. That's the part I am getting annoyed about. I know we all have our own lives and obviously my wedding is more important to me than to others. She told me she wanted to go with me to look for dresses. I asked her for a schedule of when she was available to accommodate that. She gave it to me. i made appointments, then she got upset cause her schedule had changed. I have been letting it roll off my back until this morning when she was giving me the guilt trip for wanting to go see my dress tonight when she isn't available.

Re: Issues.........

i would say just let it go, it really isnt worth the added stress. Since she is you MOH she is prob one of your best friends, & I know it hurts that she isnt there for you right now, but as long as she is there for you later it should be fine.

some things are just not worth putting a strain, or losing a friendship over. many women do get jealous when a best friend is getting married, or maybe even a little envious.

now when it comes time to order the bm dresses it she is still acting the same way, then it maybe time to pick a new MOH.

You are right, she is a close friend. We have been friends for 25 years. I am feeling better about it all. Not going to let it get to me. If she's not available, nothing I can do. If she continues to give me the whole guilt trip thing, I may have to tell her how I feel. Hopefully it won't come down to that. Since BM dresses are already ordered and I'm going tonight to see my dress, I can't think of anything else that will come up like this.
