Well, it appears that her assumption was wrong– because her husband just recently informed her that her best friend and her best friend’s husband are planning a surprise trip since they are already going to be in her area.
And since both of them are going to be in the area, she has no way of asking for the visit to just be a “girl’s thing.” So now, she has no idea what to do without feeling and seeming like a total jerk– especially because the trip is literally meant to make her happy.
“It’s supposed to be something nice to surprise me because I am a disabled stay-at-home mom who doesn’t get out much and doesn’t have many friends, which makes me feel worse about saying anything!” she vented.
“She is trying to do something nice for me, and I have to say something about her husband breaking my stuff.”
In turn, she has been left wondering whether or not to say anything and if telling her best friend about the problems would make her a total jerk.
Does it make sense why she is worried about more of her belongings being broken during this second visit? Is there a way she can sensitively go about this situation to voice her concerns without offending her best friend or their husband? Are there any alternatives to having that tough conversation, or should she just rip the bandaid off? What would you do if you were in her shoes?
