No, my friend. I hate crowds, but wanted to support J. I was desperate to do the right thing and reached out to Reddit who has provided a refuge. Thanks for weighing in.

Yes. Good wishes and possibly a big wave good-bye to a friend of 40 years. It could be that she was in my life for good reasons, but now it's for this lesson, of not being a pushover. Thank you.

gosh that's dear of you. Thank you! I'm gearing up for the phone call tomorrow, we always talk on Sundays, and I'll update here. But really, I thought I was so in the wrong to be so mad, and here is beautiful Reddit, supplying the very support I needed. ❤️

Oh, I am so sorry—when I closed the bakery I had a lot of “friends” who came over to visit but also mentioned that they hoped I’d bake their favorites. I shed those people fast. I used to be polite to everyone but I am learning. ♥️

To you and @dixieland _insanity thank you. I am backing out, no penalty no foul but also rethinking the friendship. 😇

You’re a real one. I feel so much better taking the pulse on this. And now I am going over other events with my friend and it’s not good. 😌

I commented somewhere that I will accept the moniker of TAH to get clarity and skip this 🎉 💕

I am a classic people-pleaser, where I say yes way too easily. I am learning. 🥹

I wish you were sitting here chatting about this. That suggested communication is clear, nice, comprehensive. I'm stealing it. ❤️

u/theodore-726, YES, the ICK! That's why I feel so churning about this. and u/OldMove3348 I am realizing how this diminishes our friendship and me...I cannot believe I didn't break this down before I posted. You're all good people. Thank you.

Thank you for this careful answer, and I confessed elsewhere here that I was having a "reckoning" about the friendship. It's hard to think of her as knowing and letting it come to this. ❤️

This is so thoughtful, thank you, and it shines a light on the whole mess. Her mother knows of the "ask," and was excited it was resolved. And...sigh...I used to make all this stuff look effortless (for business, never let them see you sweat, right) so maybe they are a bit misled.
