Major VENT I am SOO UPSET

Original post by Snowflake08

Ok one of my so called best friends got married 2 years ago
I was in her wedding and helped her with EVERYTHING
i did her envelopes, had her shower at my apartment, planned the bachelorette party
got her e-ring at wholesale cost from my uncle and wedding bands and a lot of other stuff too

FH and i helped her move upstate when she and her husband bought their house

i sent her a text because i got a xmas card from her but no RSVP
she JUST sent me an email saying that she is NOT COMING to my wedding and her excuse is SO LAME

Her husband (who WAS my friend too) goes every January to a differen steak house in the US with his closest friends
so she emailed me that she didnt realize when he booked his annual trip that he wasnt getting back until Feb 3
MEANWHILE, i invited her mother and step father too so if she WANTED to be there and not drive alone, she COULD come with them!!!

what would you do or say to her if you were me??

FH is at work, i called him crying, he feels so bad but keeps telling me not to let it bother me

That was the perfect response. Youre crying cause its unbelievable and something tells me those are tears of shock and anger. Not of sadness. Its a slap in the face what she's doing. Sorry she made you feel this way

i can't believe someone you did all that for would do something like this to you.

i hope you talk to her and tell her how upset you are. but i can't help but wonder how she wouldn't know how upset this is making you.

i'm sorry. that is aweful.

i didnt send yet
here it is

Tessie,

I am not one to 'remind' people of things, but i have to let you know how i feel. Not only did Brandon save A TON of money by using Artie for your e-ring and then wedding bands, but i spent A LOT of time and energy helping make your day perfect for you
The envelopes, the centerpieces, the gown shopping, the shower at my apartment and the bachelorette party and not to mention the fittings, the getting hair and makeup done - my entire family that attended your wedding and purchased ALL of your china.

After the wedding, Sammy and I helped you move using his truck. We did these things to help a FRIEND.

I did it because I WANTED to
I said that i was in shock, because i cannot believe that since Brandon is going away you are not coming. Again, your mother and Jeff were invited so if you WANTED to be there, you would.

I am very disappointed and really hurt that you won't share in my joy that day.

Regards,
Laura

EXCELLENT. Its non-confrontational and youre stating how you feel in a civilized way. Send it to her. I would love to hear what she has to say.

I'm sorry this upsets you so much, I would be hurt by this as well. I definitely think you should let her know how much it means to you to have her there and that it hurts you to think she wouldn't be there just because her husband can't make it. I don't think she realized how much she has hurt you. Here is a Let me know if you want me to call her and yell at her, I will!

People freakin suck!

I was friends with a girl for 28 years (since 1st grade). Like you, I went out of my way for her and tried to be the best friend possible. The first thing I noticed was that every phone conversation was about HER and her problems and what was going on with her. I chalked it up to her going thru a rough patch and needing to vent. Then she got engaged. I was invited to be a BM and I made sure I was doing as much as I could to help out. I spent soooo much money on that wedding. Suddenly one of the other BMs began mentioning going dress shopping and looking for wedding shoes and booking hair appts. I wasn't invited to any of these outings. I was hurt but once again I convinced myself that it wasn't done on purpose and I let it go for the sake of the friendship.
The morning of the wedding she was in the foulest mood I have ever seen a bride in. She yelled at me for being 15 minutes late and then told everyone that I 'ruined her wedding morning' with my lateness. Never mind that another BM didn't show up until 10 minutes before the limo arrived. First I went to the bathroom and cried then I got pissed. I had had enough of this one-sided friendship. I ripped up the card I got her along with the $500 check I made out to her for her wedding day gift. I didn't speak to her the entire reception and when the reception was over I got in my car without so much as a goodbye.

I ended the friendship and never called her again. A year later a BM e-mailed saying that my former friend was sorry and really missed me --- but it's too late.

Sorry this is so long but the point is that SOME PEOPLE ARE NOT WORTH IT. If this is how she behaves after all you did for her then you don't need her. Bet she'll miss you when her baby shower is a flop. Good friends are hard to come by and it's her loss.
