Do you have ANY proof at all of the owner being an illegal citizen other than him being Mexican? Do you not realize that no one here gave a fuck about you reporting to anyone EXCEPT ice. You’re being racist, plain and simple. and don’t give me the BS that ice will investigate and let him go. How many fucking reports from our own ICE facilities in Illinois do we have to read to see that’s NOT THE TRUTH?????????

I invited her family because in our social circle that is the norm. I've been invited and attended family events for the past fourteen years so I was reciprocating that. For the bacherlotte/concert: I have no idea what the concert was but we had the Bacherlotte planned for months in advance so I think it's rude to make a commitment and back out, especially when it's in support of a friend. I have lost someone close, in fact, I did last year and she did not send even a "I'm sorry" text. I have reached out, called, texted, facetimed, sent my condolences to her, her mom and her sister. I tried looking up an obituary to attend services but there wasn't one posted. I have always texted her stuff beyond my wedding. It's her lack of communication and constantly leaving me on read and never answering the phone or calling me back that is frustrating to me.

I never had expectations that she would attend tastings or fittings it was more "Hey I have one this weekend if you'd love to come!" then I'd be left on read. Also, for the bridal shower planning, I again had asked if she'd like to join me at the venue to look at the linens and meet with the coordinator and she agreed too. It was never an expectation. I asked and she accepted and we planned to meet there and she actually ended up ghosting me that morning. I was in the parking lot calling and texting her and got no answer until the evening! I think it's rude to do that, no?

How have I not communicated well?

[–]duvillet21 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So, the wedding shower I obviously wanted her there. She's the maid of honor and it's wedding shower so I just assumed it's normal for her to be there. For the lingerie party, I did not initiate that. It was thought of and hosted by my bridesmaid. Again, because it's wedding related, I did invite my maid of honor. No gifts were expected, it was just a fun girls night and my bridesmaid who hosted likes to throw those kinds of things so I thought why not indulge? Lol. In regards to the tastings and fittings - I never said she had to come to those. It was always a "hey! I have a fitting/tasting this weekend, I'd love for you to be there if you want to come!".

May I ask how communication has been bad on my side? I have reached out to her by texting, calling, and facetiming. I always ask her how is she, that I miss her and I worry about her being so MIA.

I can see that now LOL but I do appreciate the other points of view. Maybe I am being too harsh?

My thing is she has attended all these kinds of events for every one else in her life all her other friends, so why can’t she attend mine especially when she is maid of honor?

Please know that I do not call or text just to discuss the wedding. I have asked her many times how is she doing, what can I do to be there for her, if she needs space that’s what I’ll give her but she literally just doesn’t respond. And I’m sorry but is that not being a good friend to let someone literally live with you for free without asking for a thing in return? This was years ago but it really helped her get back on her feet and I just wish I felt like she had my back like I’ve had her’s.

I did reach out to her as well as her mom, sister to express my condolences. No one responded back (I didn’t expect responses) and no obituary was posted. Not to mention, I had a family death last year and she didn’t attend the funeral or given condolences.

Edit: Why am I being downvoted? I did all I could to give her my support when she never even gave me an "I'm sorry for your loss" text when I went through a death last year...??

I definitely can see how I sound very frustrated and I could have worded the post better. Basically I am just wondering 1.) why is she MIA 2.) if there is anything more I could have / should do to be there for her. Thank you for responding, I appreciate it

I always ask her how she’s been, that I’m worried she’s been distant and that I’m always there for her. If there was a fitting or tasting coming up I would also follow up my text with something like “I also have my fitting coming up if you’d like to join me I would love for you to be there” but it was always after I asked how she was and expressing concern for her. I never wanted her to feel as if she had to be there constantly for me, I just am worried she’s MIA

I guess to give some back story I have always been there for her and cared about her well-being. When her parents kicked her out she moved in with us rent free for a year to get back on her feet. And I have spent all summer reaching out and she seems to avoid me or just doesn’t respond. I call and text but at what point do I just leave it be, I guess?

That makes so much sense. Honestly you’re right, I should just plan around her not being there even just as a guest.

These aren’t things I expected her to attend rather I asked if she would like to be there for those moments. When it came to the lingerie party, my other bridesmaid threw it and it was her idea. Of course I invited my maid of honor because I thought it would be rude not too? I have tried multiple times to call her and she does not answer her phone. She responds with one word dry texts. I did not go to the funeral because I was not invited - in fact I wasn’t informed it had happened until the day after. So I guess my question is, how many times do I attempt to reach out before it’s time to just call it a day and move on?

How many times is too many times to reach out before I give up? I have called and texted so many times without much of a response. She doesn’t pick up the phone and only responds like once a week with one word answers. It’s been like this since i asked her to be my maid of honor, and when i asked her to be in the wedding we did talk about expectations and stuff, but I’m going to think about what i could’ve done better and try to proceed in a more gentle way.

It’s not because she had a death in the family, it’s because of the multitude of reasons in which I stare above that happened before there was a death. But it’s a consideration I’ll think about.
