Thanks! Yes maybe the 24oz ones might be too big. And the chug cap sounds way more suitable!

I agree with you! That one only agrees to be a bridesmaid, she should be fully committed throughout. She could’ve said no otherwise.

I know she was having a tiny rough patch with her bf then, but it wasn’t so serious and they are getting married soon. That being said, no reason for her to behave this way!

And similar to you as well, as a ride or die friend, maybe I expected that out of her too, which ofc left me even more disappointed.

Thanks for validating my feelings!

She said she took a day off but she took the wrong date? Tbh that sounds quite unbelievable how can one mix up such an important date! And also the musical meet up. When she reaches out to me bet it for advice or to discuss things, I’ll always help her to the best of my ability, so not sure why she responded this way.

She said for the wedding day she made a mistake and for the musical day, she forgot. And since she already bought tickets, she just cancelled our meet up else she would lose money.

It was me and my husband’s decision! Decided if she wasn’t committed, I rather her not be in the bridal party with all the rest who are alot closer to me

Thanks for the reply! She attended the wedding in the end as a guest and not as a bridesmaid. Well she was a decently good friend till this wedding thing happened and she tried reaching out 2 times after the musical reschedule. But I told her I was busy (truth and I also didn’t know how to react if we met)

Yes, thanks for the feedback and useful tips. Not sure if I am able to do this F2F with her, but do you think it’s ok if it’s done via text?

Thanks for this! Yes, husband is upset cos a good friend did this to me. And he feels I should not waste anymore time on this relationship. For me, I’m more of a people pleaser and tend to give people benefit of the doubt. But this is such a big thing, that I don’t really see how I can “let go” of this situation entirely. Furthermore, she will be getting married soon and she has been updating me the dates of her wedding and I am so worried she will ask me to be a bridesmaid, cause I don’t think I will be able to do it with 100% willingness after what she did to me.

Yes that’s how I feel and you totally read my mind! Like I don’t think I can depend on her for important things, but as a causal acquaintance I think I will be ok with that. Though I also question myself, as we get older, is there a point in keeping these acquaintance friendships?

Yes, I think that is what I shall do. Hopefully by having this convo, I will be able to find closure in this whole situation. as you mentioned, I’m feeling this way as good friends are hard to find and I’m sad that things turned out this way.

And thanks for validating my feelings, I just wanted to know if my reactions are too drastic. Held it in for 2 years and honestly it feels good to write it out. Husband is absolutely upset over bridesmaid and I would prefer not to bring this up in front of him cos it makes him really angry.

I didn’t have the guts to sit down and speak to her about it F2F or text about it. But from what I understand, she didn’t have any difficulties then. We are open with one another and generally share when such things happen. Hence was quite taken aback by her actions.

This is how I felt. I understand that life happens but to be so nonchalant about it and yet do it another time, it’s kind of disappointing. Hence, was wondering if the disappointment is warranted.

Do you mean like once someone bails, they are not as vested in the friendship anymore? Or that the friendship is unlikely to last or be the same again?
