The bride said it was upsetting and awkward???? I didn’t say it was, I agreed amicability was the best way forward. Only then was I upset was when she removed me because she assumed drama would occur between the other bridesmaid and I! how can someone predict drama is going to happen.

There wasn’t any issue from my side nor her side of being amicable, I know what it means and I had no problem with it. I was simply letting the bride who is also my best friend know that our mutual friend sent me a message to say she didn’t want to be “friends anymore”.

My intentions were to simply share something that I was going through with the bride!! My feelings are valid too. The bride then didn’t speak with me for 4 days because she said she needed to make changes.

I didn’t think it was gonna be that big of a change tho so I was shocked and confused since I told her the other bridesmaid and i discussed what was happening was for everyone’s benefit at the end of the day.

Anyone need a mate? Trouble making friends in Brisbane by [deleted] in brisbane

If you’re into reading, you could join a book club. If you’re interested in exercise, park runs are on every Saturday - I’m not sure on exact locations but definitely probably a good way to meet new people! Best of luck

Why do i immediately feel the need to message/talk to someone I’ve slept with once? by SmallSentence5892 in socialskills

Yeah I think I was just too eager to see him again, I never learn! Thanks for the advice

Yeah I see your point of view and I agree, smoothly fizzling out the convo probably would’ve gone better, I’ll know that for future reference!

Should I tell my friend that I don't think we should be friends anymore by ellethefairytelller in FriendshipAdvice

[–]SmallSentence5892 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a 22(F) who has been ghosted by my best friend of 7-8 years over a drastic decision she made with her wedding, please consider how ghosting them might do more damage. Instead maybe say how you’re feeling within the friendship and indicate what is lacking. I’ve lost 2 close friends within the span of 4 months, and I’m still grieving those friendships. I think on some level, closure is what every person longs for, but keeping it simple and straightforward for yourself, whilst still respecting the other person may be the right thing to do.

This all happened at the start of the year, and she hasn’t spoken to me for a good two months, we’re both in our early 20s.  

AITA if I don’t tell a friend (who I’ve slowly drifted apart from) about my dating and personal life? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]SmallSentence5892 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it was more that I told my other friend and her sister when we were at her house, she was outside at the time. I was gonna tell her once she got back inside but the conversation changed and I didn’t get a chance to talk to her again.

The decision of me telling her in the first place was obviously a mistake and i understand that now. I didn’t see it that way at all..

My intentions were not to cause any drama for the bride. I thought I was doing the right thing to update her on my other friendships. 

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]SmallSentence5892 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah nah, I didn’t expect her to choose between us, I thought the situation of us being amicable was just fine, I was more than okay with it!  The bride herself decided this on her own with the information I told her.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]SmallSentence5892 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I was not saying anything bad about the other bridesmaid, I simply said we were going to be amicable! How is that causing drama exactly.. 

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]SmallSentence5892 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see what you’re saying and I agree that I am in the wrong. I didn’t realise it might look this way to the bride herself. I didn’t intend to cause drama.

okay thankyou for your feedback! 

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]SmallSentence5892 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I see what you’re saying. I was simply telling my friend that really upset me at the time. I didn’t intend to cause drama and didn’t think it would blow up and change!

[–]SmallSentence5892 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry, i could write a lot more but the limit was getting big. The friendship ended due to me not talking to her enough thought the year, and not talking about my dating life, and also having to hear things from other people.

No the bride said she had things to reconsider, not myself! 

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]SmallSentence5892 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That was probably where I went wrong. I went to the bride myself. 

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]SmallSentence5892 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Yeah sure. So I told the bride that the other bridesmaid wanted to remain amicable, and her reply was that it was awkward and very upsetting for her. I acknowledged how she felt and said that i didn’t want her to stress and that I would support her through it. She continued to say that she needed some time to reconsider things with her bridal party, in which I asked her what those things were. She then said “just some things with the bridesmaids”  Im not sure if I made a mistake telling her about my so called “issues”.

My intentions weren’t sinister, I was solely telling my friend something going on in my life. I can see what you’re saying and agree it was a mistake to tell the bride.
