    Font - A few weeks ago was my sister's bachelorette weekend trip. Her and I weren't on good terms at the time, so I ended up not going. I let my sister know the week that I would not be attending. I assumed since I did not go, I did not have to pay. But a week after the trip, I get a venmo request for "bachelorette trip" from the MOH. I declined it.

    Font - Then shortly after got a nasty text asking me to explain why I don't feel like I should pay. I made it clear and simple. "I did not go on the trip, so I am not going to pay" Now recently I got a text from another bridesmaid also asking for payment for the trip. It's worded in a much nicer way. But I still don't think I should pay for soemthing I did not go to. Am I in the wrong??

    Font - MORE INFO: Yes, I'm a bridesmaid. Yes, it was planned in advanced. Money was not asked for until week of the trip. Also, money was a factor in this. I was let go from my job very unexpectedly. I found something in the meantime, but it's barely making ends meet.

    Organism - And im embarrassed and dont want my poor financial situation to be known to everyone. I briefly mentioned that to sister, but didn't want it the main point. I thought she needed to know that her actions have consequences, and treating me poorly will not be accepted.

    Font - BACKGROUND INFO: I (22f) do not want to attend my sister (24f) bachelorette party this weekend. Her and I have always had our differences and usually don't talk at all unless it's at family events. Even then, I try to strike up some conversation to see how she's doing and what's new in her life. More often than not, she answers with a negative tone as if she is annoyed. I'm talking to her, giving me a dirty look, talks down to me, etc. So, my effort over the years to engage with her has d

    Font - Rewind to fall 2022, plans for her bachelorette start to come about, and even then, I knew I didn't want to go. I thought and fought a lot over what to do. So I called my sister and told her I was on the fence about joining her and her friends. She did not take it well. I told her that she's never pleasant to be around and doesn't treat me nicely, so I did not want to participate. I said some harsh truths that she did not like. So she hung up on me.

    Font - The same day, she called back and said she would get better. Months and months ths go by, and no efforts are made to mend our relationship from her. I'd called her a few times, but she treated me the same. Short responses like she didn't want to talk. So I stopped and left the bakk in her court. Because it works both ways.

    Font - Here we are coming up on the trip, and I've decided I don't want to go because of her still mistreating me. I told her that, and she blew up on me. She won't let me get my point across as to why. She won't accept the way she makes me feel and just says my feelings are wrong. Gaslighting me that it's all my fault.

    Font - After a long fight, I said I could no longer discuss this, and we talked later, but I'm still not interested in going. She called me a few days later, asking if I was going on the trip. I said no, and she was still upset. I do feel bad (because I'm a people pleaser). So, I asked what I could do to help this relationship. She had no answer, and I told her to think about it and get back to me. It's been a few days, and I still haven't heard anything.

    Font - I've made mistakes when trying to handle this situation with her and know I could have reacted better. I apologized to her for that. Honestly, I kind of wish she would apologize, too. So, am I the a hole? She I just suck it up go to the party?

    Human body - Eccentricenfp 18 hr. ago Exactly, and OP is definitely NTA. I do feel kinda sorry for her future brother- in-law, though.

    Font - Every Guard 1 day ago So now with both posts, bottom line NTA. You never gave her a yes, she had been treating you like s t and even after discussion didn't change. She likely told her friends you had said you would come and set up this payment mess just so it would fall back on you. I would tell the friend directly that you never said you were going, that that's on your sis. And I would consider whether you even want to be a bridesmaid at this point.

    Font - Saberise 1 day ago But the bride is a guest not the one making the arrangements. Did she say anywhere she let the people planning it she wasn't sure about it and than ultimately decided not to attend? It saying that she should have to pay. Just wondering if she let the others know in advance.

    Rectangle - Efficient-Cupcake247. 21 hr. ago OP didn't RSVP and made multiple attempts to let them know she wasn't going. This is 100% a money grab Hugs Nta

    Font - Every Guard 1 day ago You mean the Maid of Honor? If the MOH planned it than it would make sense if she got a head count. Did the bride to be state her sister was potentially not coming? Or did she just say yes because she wanted to get everything cheaper?

    Rectangle - Tinkerberry21 20 hr. ago OP never said she would go and never once RSVP'D yes. based on her post history and added info, she tried to talk to her sister and she never tried to fix the situation. it's not like she dropped out at the last second.
