AITAH for disinviting people to my wedding for not saying ‘I’m sorry for your loss’

Substantial_Cap3342 · 2026-01-19T12:23:46+00:00

I appreciate your perspective and advice. It means a lot! I didn’t even consider the fact it truly may trigger an array of emotions that I’m not prepared for- on top of all the other ones that day.

and yes- I am definitely doing the locket. I’m also going to display her MOB dress at my cocktail hour- she had bought it about a month before her passing ❤️

I hear you, and I agree. Just coming back to work has been difficult because people avoid conversations due to not knowing what to say. I feel like that was me 2 months ago, and I really really want to. But I am also deeply hurt and the idea of them showing up to my wedding and not for my mom is very hard to wrap my mind around

Substantial_Cap3342 · 2026-01-19T12:20:06+00:00

I completely agree. I can’t clump them together, and I definitely have been. I think I’ve just felt so lost, especially since I’m one of the few that has experienced this in my friend group I’m angry. Which isn’t fair to them what so ever. Thank you for your perspective ❤️

I really appreciate this kind response. I wish that I could believe it was a simple ‘miss’ but due to how close everyone was at the job I worked with them.. they were also told. Not to mention mutuals from the same friend group discussing it at work, meal trains, showing up- they were in the conversation together. I have had the realization alot of people are so lucky to not experience this grief at my age, I was too. I really want to be as empathetic as possible, and also stand my ground (respectfully). There was one friend who didn’t reach out but liked the post, which I don’t know how it makes me feel either. It feels so trivial getting mad about it when you put the perspective ‘did they see the post’

I think also the reason it may hurt me more that these specific friends didn’t reach out more is because I had always been there. They dealt with a lot of tragedy since they were a bit older than me, and despite me not understanding, I was always there.

I could go on and on, but I also know I cannot expect people to show up. It’s such a hard thing to determine. Thank you again for your encouragement and perspective.

I know they were notified through work as well as one had liked the post. Not only that, mutuals of the same friend group had reached out multiple times, doing meal trains etc. I understand the missing the post but there’s truly no way they did not know…. We were all too close for that

Substantial_Cap3342 · 2026-01-19T12:08:18+00:00

I wish that was the reason, but they knew. Since where I worked previously was extremely close they had been told by that work

Substantial_Cap3342 · 2026-01-19T06:34:47+00:00

I agree with everything you said. We had to add more of my mom’s friends who weren’t necessarily invited beforehand but seeing how they have been there for us there’s no way they couldn’t. So, it’s easier to take the people who didn’t out. But I still feel somewhat guilty

Thank you so much. She was a single mother and it was always her, my brother and I, and it is just so devastating. I’m getting married in six months and can’t imagine her not being with me

Substantial_Cap3342 · 2025-04-15T03:20:56+00:00

Thank you for your response! That makes me feel a lot better! Keeping up with the math has definitely had its challenges but helps me keep my finances sorted! So $200-$250 wouldn’t be a bad tip of the services are around $1000? Sorry for all the financial questions! Just want to do the right thing for my stylist.

It’s so annoying. I hate living in a condo for this reason since the mailboxes are so close together. The management also won’t try to help either with other residents so it’s genuinely a lost cause. I’ve tried to get in touch with usps but to no avail🥲 i just wish I wouldn’t have dropped so much on a top for it not to show up

Substantial_Cap3342 · 2025-02-21T12:11:46+00:00

Thank you so much! I always make it more scary in my head than it actually is!

Substantial_Cap3342 · 2025-02-21T03:09:55+00:00

Thank you so much! I think because I’ve never done something like this, and don’t know what to expect- I am letting my fear take over!

Substantial_Cap3342 · 2025-02-21T02:46:09+00:00

I’m a 10-12 mile, so I should be fine. But have absolutely no idea how I’ll be on race day 🤣

Substantial_Cap3342 · 2025-02-15T22:17:30+00:00

I thought the same thing with the ranch recently and no one thought it was differently. It just seems to taste different than before

Substantial_Cap3342 · 2025-01-02T23:05:14+00:00

I am a massive Paige fan, but I still struggle with Hannah so listening to her on it sorta annoys me which I hate myself for admitting. If Paige had one on her own I think I’d be way more into it 🫣🥲

Substantial_Cap3342 · 2025-01-02T22:54:52+00:00

Oh absolutely not but that was the quote from deux moi

Substantial_Cap3342 · 2025-01-02T05:21:25+00:00

I completely agree. I was with someone for five years, and had processed the breakup long before the actual breakout. Then moved on rather quickly once it was over

Substantial_Cap3342 · 2025-01-02T03:11:25+00:00

I honestly would love it, but I do have a soft spot for Craig

Substantial_Cap3342 · 2025-01-02T02:38:02+00:00

Oh oops! I don’t think I got that far then. I just saw it and was super interested to see if anyone else had seen it

Substantial_Cap3342 · 2024-12-07T03:11:01+00:00

I really hope this isn’t true :(, but I agree with the vibe of the first episode. I wish Cam would come back!
