    I have a friend that I've know for more than 15 years who is getting married. We aren't best friends, but we have a lot of history. Her engagement lasted two
  • years and she got engaged twice to the same man because the first engagement was not what she hoped for. I had heavily advised her boyfriend back then to
  • get another ring and plan another engagement after he voluntarily told. me about his plans and asked for advice, but he wouldn't listen. I tried really hard for multiple

  • days, but he insisted. She constantly complained about him and the engagement for one year and after her second engagement to him, she shifted gears and was
  • suddenly obsessed with him. Everyone had to pretend that the first engagement hadn't happened. Over the years, she had complained about her
  • boyfriend/fiancé so many times to me and had many doubts, but she never left and was suddenly acting like he is the love of her life.
  • Tired looking bachelorette party guests take photos with balloons.
  • Right at the time of her second engagement, I got chronically ill and had to cancel several appointments, but always. explained that. I made it to one dress shopping
  • appointment, but not the second. She always claimed that she knows and understands my symptoms, but she does not have a chronic illness. and I suspect she actually
  • thinks I'm lying about them and make excuses. I haven't been able to work for almost a year now because of it. She never really checked in, asked about me etc., so I
  • 6 women in a bachelorette party hold heart-shaped balloons while enjoying a beach walk.
  • realized I don't need to go above and beyond with limited energy when she really doesn't care, but I tried my best.
  • Fast forward to now, I co- planned and co-payed for her bachelorette but couldn't attend because of my illnesses. A couple of days after the bachelorette, she wrote a
  • Calling a friend's illness "uncertainty around her wedding" is just 1000% insane

    message saying she can't cope with any uncertainty around her wedding, that she felt like I didn't make enough effort, and that she has decided I will not be part of her day
  • because of it which is a finalized decision. She didn't say anything more specific, it actually sounded like a corporate termination email overall.
  • She wished me well but she needs,,clarity" leading up to her wedding. I had RSVP'd in January, it is now May. Back in January, I received the e-invite 2
  • days before the RSVP deadline, so maybe she never wanted to invite me but then chickened out. Our last message before her uninviting me was her wishing me a happy
  • birthday, so it really came out of the blue. I was mad and told her that if she wants to uninvite me last minute after not saying anything
  • before that, she should pay for my part of the bachelorette cost. In addition to that, my partner had to take PTO because she's getting married on a Friday and I
  • had to buy a dress for it because she had a specific color dress code. I just wanted to get some compensation after she uninvited me one week before the event.
