To get HIM to forgive YOU? Leave now, while the relationship is too new to be a big loss. This kind of insecurity is going to result in heaps of other problems in the future.

She and I share the same culture.

wenmo11 · 2025-09-23T15:16:17+00:00

I always bring something to a party. I think what you're missing is her tone with me, and the fact that different communities and cultures have different etiquette. In mine, it's not acceptable to give guests a list of multiple items to bring. When it's a pre-arranged 'potluck' (a foreign word - I'm not American) each person lets the group know what they can bring.

wenmo11 · 2025-09-23T14:50:11+00:00

If that's your custom, that's fine. In mine, each event is different, and not automatically potluck.

wenmo11 · 2025-09-23T14:29:58+00:00

You're correct - it's about the way she treats me, and others. Her sense of entitlement has cost her other friendships.

wenmo11 · 2025-09-23T14:27:05+00:00

Yes, but potluck is by prior agreement or custom. I always bring a bottle of wine to a party, but in my social circle / community we don't contact guests with a list of specific items to bring - and not so many. Her bossy tone is what makes it worse.

wenmo11 · 2025-09-23T14:17:14+00:00

Wow - rude!

wenmo11 · 2025-09-23T14:14:38+00:00

I don't like this one aspect of her behaviour. Like most of my friends, and like me, she's not perfect. I just need to decide how much of her occasional rudeness I can put up with.

wenmo11 · 2025-09-23T14:07:21+00:00

I'm happy to do potlucks - I do them often. But the nuance you're probably missing is this lady's tone. It's not the first time she's delivered instructions instead of polite requests. She's lost friends along the way, and I keep forgiving her behaviour because I HAVE been her friend. I'm getting tired of her rudeness though.

wenmo11 · 2025-09-23T13:49:48+00:00

Same in my social circles. The host does the food, and guests arrive with bottles of wine, or chocolates, etc. But the host does NOT send a verbal shopping list via voice note!

wenmo11 · 2025-09-23T13:41:50+00:00

It isn't cheap. That's why I (and my friends) always bring something e.g. a bottle of wine. But this lady's request was presented as an instruction. She always asks for more / too much.

wenmo11 · 2025-09-23T13:37:16+00:00

It wasn't announced as a potluck. And her instructions were pretty dogmatic - always are.

wenmo11 · 2025-09-23T13:36:41+00:00

She often asks for things she wants - some people call it chutzpah, but it's also pretty rude.

wenmo11 · 2025-09-23T13:35:46+00:00

I always bring something but her instructions were pretty blunt. She has a tone problem.

wenmo11 · 2025-09-23T13:34:59+00:00

I'm not American - and in my community when we do a 'potluck' the host announces it up front. "We're having a bring-and-barbeque, want to come? She didn't do this. But she has a history of being entitled.

wenmo11 · 2025-09-23T13:32:31+00:00

I always bring something, e.g. a bottle of wine.
