She Fired Her Friend As Her Maid Of Honor After She Agreed To Let Her Have That Role In Her Wedding
A woman who is getting married soon has a friend that she has known for a whole decade. She previously was tight with her friend, though in the last several years her friend has become kind of someone else.
Now her friend loves to gossip about others behind their backs and forever wants to argue with people.
Her friend constantly is mean to her other loved ones and gets weirdly “possessive” over her. Her friend even attempted to hook her up with a cousin despite the fact that she was already in a committed relationship.
Every single thing that her friend has recently done has added up to stressing her out greatly, and she feels at this point in time that it’s hard to even continue their friendship.
She’s known deep down for some time that she does need to put space between herself and her friend, though she hasn’t moved forward with that for fear of hurting her friend.
It also doesn’t help that her friend’s mom has suffered from cancer for quite a number of years, and she doesn’t want to just dump her friend while she’s going through all of that.
Several weeks ago, she ended up getting engaged, and she texted her friend to let her know the exciting news.
“She called me immediately,” she explained. “I was worried about how she would react because she gets mad when other people get engaged because she thinks she should be married by now, but she seemed excited for me.”
“But then she said in a stern voice “I better be your maid of honor.” I was shocked and stayed quiet for a minute. I should note that I am a horrible doormat and people pleaser, so when she said “right?” I said “ok” and felt a sinking feeling in my stomach.”

She messed up big time. She knew she needed to tell her friend no as soon as she was asked, but she couldn’t bring herself to do it.
In the week after her engagement, she was sick to her stomach over her friend insisted on being her maid of honor.
She was positive if she allowed her friend to be her maid of honor, she would do nothing but create issues with every other woman she wanted to include in the bridal party.
It took her an entire hour to figure out how to send her friend a text letting her know she didn’t want her as her maid of honor after all.
“I told her that I cared about her very much, but that I should have the experience of choosing my bridal party and asking them,” she said.
“I told her that for now, I’m not sure if I will have a bridal party at all. At first, she said that she was sorry, but then said she was shocked that I wasn’t choosing her.”
“Then she sent a text that was VERY apologetic, eventually saying that she’s a horrible person and she bets I never want to speak to her again.”
She insisted that she didn’t consider her friend to be terrible as a human being; it was only that she had to come clean to her and tell her how she really felt.
Her friend then flipped things around and accused her of being an awful friend to her. Her friend ended things by letting her know she was not interested in speaking to her while she took some time away from their friendship.
“It’s been a week since this happened,” she continued. “She still hasn’t spoken to me and has blocked me on social media.”
“I feel relieved that I told her how I felt, but I also feel guilty for hurting her feelings, and for the way I handled everything.”
Do you think she handled things with her friend in the best way?
