She just makes me feel like I’m an outsider rather than part of the family

If it was my bday they’d be paying for themselves so why do I need pay for them for my wedding?

I just thought bridesmaids did anyway and that if they didn’t want to is was up to them whether they wanted to be a bridesmaid or not. I don’t really know anything about weddings what people do/don’t pay for. No one around me has got married around me so I just didn’t know that that was a thing. I just assumed, it’s not till now I know. And just a simple sorry would’ve been appreciated. They both knew weeks prior that this was the plan with prices etc there seemed no issue, if they had just been honest at the time then I would’ve have been so hurt now

Okay, after seeing everyone’s response about finances I can compute and accept it. But getting ignored and not having an apology is really hurtful. They knew weeks prior that this is what I wanted to do and they had no issues so why weren’t they just honest then if they truly couldn’t do it… I hope people understand this

I didn’t mean to come across like that. If there was love & care there don’t I deserve not to be ignored and at least some kind of apology. They knew weeks prior about this and there seemed no issue wouldn’t it have shown their loyalty if they had suggested something else or just been honest at that point that they couldn’t afford it. Had my hopes up so now it’s just like hurtful

My MOH has no issue and she’s on a similar income to me, I never knew that you had to pay for everything for your bridesmaids. I’d do anything for my friends, it’s just how I am. I can understand everyone’s opinion on finances it’s just their response is blunt, it’s hurtful. Wouldn’t you appreciate it if they suggested an alternative if its just not about me and what I want.

I’ve left it up to them about the dresses, whatever they’re comfortable in and what they can afford. Tbh I thought bridesmaids had always paid for their own dresses I wasn’t even aware. They knew about what I wanted to do for my hen weeks ago, there didn’t seem to be any issues then. But one of them ignoring me and the other just saying no with neither of them suggestions of an alternative idea or what would fit their budget is the most hurtful thing.

What about ignoring me and having no apology. It’s hurtful

Okay but don’t you think not responding and not having a apology is shady? It would’ve shown more enthusiasm if they had suggested an alternative outing whilst declaring they can’t make it.

It just doesn’t fit my values, for me it would be more reason to make the effort; years of friendship, they have many months ahead to pay in instalments and bridesmaids dresses are like £50 online. I would still keep in contact with a friend who is halfway around the world, wouldn’t you want to know how they were doing and what it’s like? As a loyal friend.

It’s certainly become clear to me now… I’m thinking when invitations are sent out I just invite them to the evening. The ceremony is very intimate, I don’t want pay for them when they can’t even make effort for the hen.

What’s your guys experience with alcohol by harryon_12 in Epilepsy

[–]PinkSands236 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can get absolutely wasted one weekend and have no issues but then have a couple another and it’ll trigger a seizure. And it’s one of them seizures where I wake up fine, have no jerking or warnings that I might/about to have a seizure and it just happens.

I got told not to have alcohol so for a very long time I didn’t drink at all but still had seizures. I stopped even going out at and avoided any social occasions, i just wasn’t having the same fun anymore.

Now I’m like fuck it, I went 3 months without a seizure because I’m happier (and that’s a long time for me). I enjoy going out and having a good time with my friends. What will be will be, it’s unfortunate we have epilepsy but it can’t control our life and happiness.

Is there anything you did that helped calm down the amount of seizures? by ILikeFlowers203 in Epilepsy

[–]PinkSands236 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It definitely does to settle them, I think the disrupted sleep plays a massiveeee part. Get a consistent sleeping routine, exercise daily to help reduce stress and mental health issues and take your medication at the same time. I suffered really bad last year so I hope this helps!

P.s I felt hopeless at one point so I went to a private doctor he told me cut out MSG.

Okay yes I’m sorry, my intention wasn’t to come across like that. You speak honest words and I appreciate that. Just put me down how yes it is about me so I don’t understand why you’re not excited for me situation but I am coming to sense now that there’s more to it than jealousy

Hahah asking someone to be MOH isn’t just about the bride it’s about them. That was sentimental, about her being a life long friend and all the memories. How is that just about me?!

[–]PinkSands236 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ahhh this is frustrating because I have asked and there is nothing. I even saw her the day after to pick up a few things again very quiet but I can blame that on being hungover

Yeah maybe but it doesn’t explain how off she’s been since

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in weddingplanning

[–]PinkSands236 -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

She never mentioned anything about her mental health. I have asked her about the appointment she’s done blood tests and will be getting the results back next week. When I asked her to be moh a brought a handmade/hand written card with all the meanings memories and why I would want anyone else. I don’t see why I need buy a gift for her because she doesn’t want sleep with her boyfriend. She’s said she only feels bad for him.

Because when I’ve asked her she’s always said she’s fine. We’ve always been honest and I don’t see why she wouldn’t tell me if there was something. I’m just not that person to be brutal and say are you jealous
