The Power of "No"- Vent.
Just wanted to admit, I really have a problem with telling people "no". If someone asks something, typically I say yes even if I want to kick my as$ later on. Can you help plan ___- yes. Will you be at ____- yes. We need ____- sure.
I had all intensions to go to one of my girlfriends bachelorette party this coming weekend. But I'm sick. Like have a cold- walking with kleenex- sick. And I'm sick of the 50000 parties that people have associated with weddings. I emailed my girlfriend this morning and told her that I couldn't make it to her bachelorette weekend. Its 4 hours away and frankly, I should spend the weekend with a bottle of nyquil, not a bottle of wine. I got a cold reply back. I know she's pissed I'm not coming, but me- I'm so happy that I said, no I can't make it. I still have a life to live and reality to be in- though a weekend away with girlfriends would be nice- I just cant put my life on hold to party for yours.
I guess they'll get over it, and I'll be happy with my nyquil and the word NO!
Re: The Power of "No"- Vent.
I think it is fine that you said no. If I was the bride, I would be sad that you could not make it but I would understand. I also would not want to catch whatever you have. I sometimes think people try to do to much when they are sick and they just end up making themselves more sick and potentially get others around them sick as well.
I hope you feel better soon and get some rest this weekend.
I also think its fine. People need to rest at times and it sounds like your in need of that. Kick up your feet with some soup and good movies this weekend. . .
I said no to a bach party once because DH was pretty sick and I also felt very uncomfortable with the rest of the Bridal party. I felt a little guilty, but over all I think it was the right choice for me.
So yeah. . I think you did the right move. Hope you feel better soon!
