  • I am severely pissed off that my maid of honor isn't coming to my engagement party for no good reason. She would rather spend time with her boyfriend.... who is not invited to the party because I don't like him, won't like him, etc. He is a drug addict and I won't tolerate it. So.... there. I said it. I know MOHs aren't required to do anything, but it bothers me that she isn't coming.

    Your maid of honor, who I'm assuming is a really close friend, is choosing her boyfriend over you? Uh...not cool! I wouldn't feel badly not inviting that guy either. One of my best friends is going through a divorce right now b/c her soon-to-be XH was doing drugs and royally fucking up their lives in the process.

  • I don't think R and I will do any kind of treatment (IUI,IVF) because I really don't think I can handle doing a treatment and it failing.
  • OMG... I honestly didn't think I'd get any responses because I had posted something like that on the knot and they all jumped my case because MOHs aren't required to go to anything and said I am a bridezilla for expected my MOH to do anything for me.

    This particular MOH (who, by the way, is no longer MOH) used to be my very best friend. She and I were super close. Up until she started dating this guy a couple months ago. After I met him and he passed out drooling on himself in the backseat of my car, and then passed out at the dinner table, I told her I would not tolerate that and won't spend any more time with him. I mean, what if he had drugs on him and we were stopped by the cops or something. We'd all be in trouble! So she is more than welcome and I'd love to spend time with HER, but not him. He doesn't treat her well, he has no job, lives at home with his mom, has a child he does nothing for, and makes her pay for everything.

    I asked her to be my MOH and she accepted. Where I am from, the MOH takes part in planning the pre-wedding parties like the shower, bachelorette party, engagement party, etc. Well, she hasn't done any of that, so my other bridesmaids all started planning. Well, they included her in all the facebook messages... well, she leaves the conversation on facebook because, as she told a mutual friend, we were blowing up her phone and it was annoying her.

    It has hurt my feelings a lot, but now I'm over it. I don't really speak to her anymore because she refuses to talk about the wedding with me, she refuses to even listen or participate in any way. She won't be happy for me and it's hurtful. And it's not like all I talk about is the wedding. We mostly talk about her boyfriend bc she wants him to change and doesn't understand why he won't change.

    Anyway... thanks for the support!

    Yea they are like that over on The Knot.  Yes, technically your MOH doesn't HAVE to do anything, but there's a reason you picked her to be MOH!  She is a close friend and should be happy for you and want to help plan and talk about the wedding with you, in my opinion.  I am sure you would do the same for her!  And you're not making outrageous demands or anything!

  • @sparklingdiamond I actually never asked her to do anything. When I first asked her to be my MOH, she was so excited, said she was going to get a book/planner to write dates down so we can get started planning all the parties, etc. She even said if we have an engagement party, she would buy the cake. That was in July.... Now we are in October and she is a totally different person. It hurts more that she couldn't care less that I'm in such a better place in my life than I was previously than the fact that she isn't coming to my engagement party and doesn't want to participate. If the tables were turned, I, of course, would be a little jealous that she was getting married and I wasn't, but I'd get over that and throw her one of the best showers and bachelorette parties ever!!!! It's what good friends do.

  • My FFFC: Last night after dinner, instead of getting off the couch and doing the dishes, I got my shower and then caught up on the last couple of weeks' episodes of BBT and The Crazy Ones. And then I went to bed. I knew I wasn't going to be home until way late tonight, and wouldn't be doing anything at that point, and I still left them. 

    I'm really hoping DH does them today.

She shouldn't have accepted if she didn't want to do those things for you. I've even known people who turned down the roll bc they were concerned they couldn't afford to do all the things moh's are supposed to do (it all worked out though). Im sorry that it's not going the way you wanted and that the rest of your bridesmaids have extra work because of it. I would be frustrated and disappointed too.

    Oh yes!!! There's several other indicators of drug use as well. Her mood switches so quickly for the littlest things. She is either sleeping or on like super happy mode.

    I had texted her a couple weeks ago and it was a Sunday night. She texted me back with nonsense letters that made absolutely no sense. The next day she said she was fine, just tired. Ummmm, WHAT?

    She never has any more anymore. She has no kids, no car note, no credit cards, etc and she never has money to do anything!!! She even complains she has no money for food or bills. I don't like asking someone about finances, so this could be inaccurate. I just know what she tells me.

    Also, who is OK with their bf being on drugs???

    I'm so sorry you're going through this with her. Drugs change people, it really sucks, and you have every right to feel hurt that your closest friend is pushing you away. I hope she is able to take her life back.

  • DH plays this app game on his phone with card-based battles (sort of like Magic: The Gathering if I understand correctly), and I hate it. So much. They have "events" and "wars" quite regularly, and they're super time sensitive, so he's always having to drop whatever he's doing to go fight a battle or trade cards with people. He loves it and has a good community of friends on there, so I try to bite my tongue.

    My FFC is that I have daydreamed more than I care to admit about finding a way to delete his account without him knowing it was me. It would be super petty, and he'd probably just start a new account anyway, so clearly I would never do it. But I just hate it.

  • I hate that DH doesn't want me to discuss our morph issues with my closest friend irl, even when they've had IF issues of their own. I understand why, but it means I'm gonna have to lie since they know that we've been testing. I don't really want to lie to my best friends. But I will for DH, it just doesn't mean I have to like it.
