Some Advice Please

post #1 of 6
Thread Starter 
I will try to explain this as simply as possible so it don't take up to 10 pages.

Me and a girl I will call "Amy" became friends our freshman year of highschool. My family moved me to another school district six months prior to the begining of the new school year. "Amy was the only person that I felt close to that welcomed me into my new surrandings.

We were like sisters never seperated. We got our first jobs together at the same place, got our drivers license, cars, graduated highschool together. We went to the same college, majored in the same thing(until I made a change) and graduated together.

About a year after college graduation somthing changed. She became very irratable when me and a mutual friend of ours went out or hung out together without her, even thought she knew she would not be able to (prior obligations or work). She stated getting worse with things when our mutual friend got married and then I started my serious realtionhip with Shane.

Then the day came Shane proposed to me. I tried to call her but she was out of cell phone serivce so I proceeded to call my other friends and family to let them know the good news. I planned to call her that night but friends of our took Shane and I out to celebrate. With the excitement I had forgot to try to call her back.

I talked to our mutual the next morning and she had talked to "Amy" before I did and she said that "Amy" was very upset and had said that we were not very good friends anylonger since I called everyone else before her and so on. I tried calling her again and no anwser.

We talked for the first time a week after and made amends. Until she started dating the one person in the world I could not stand. He new found bf was the same person that spread rumors about him and I so a guy I had a crush on would not go out with me, but his sister instead. They were rumors like I "grabbed" I asked to suck his d*** and so on.

She knew about all of this of course since she was my best friend. But still chose to date him anyway. I tried to look over this the best that I could and thought I would let it run its course he had a bad rep in the dating world so I tried like I said to not let it bother me.

We talked about the wedding and what not and she said do you want me to bring "Alex"? I wont if you don't want me to. I told her thanks for asking and that he was not welcome at my wedding that him and I had a very hate hate relationship. She said ok.

About three months before the wedding we had another falling out. She was very angry that I did not put her in my wedding party, but I put our mutual friend in it but I was not in hers so she thought it was unfair. I tried to explain to her that Shane had a limited amout of groomsmen so I had to cute some ppl (6 to be exact, I wanted a large wedding, he didn't) So I told her that who ever was not in the wedding will have a part in the wedding somehow. Well she was agreeable with me, but a friend of mine overheard her say that she was going to try and find someway to runin my wedding and she was angry with me for runing our friendship.

She brought "Alex" aginst my wishes to my wedding and I said made the discision that I was done. That was in July of '07, we did not see or talk to eachother until March of '08 when I went to our mutual friends house to pick up my baby shower gift, we talked, I left, and that was that. That was a year ago this month....

Saturday night my mom called to say that she heard that "Amy" was getting married to "Alex" in June.

For some reason ladies I can't get her out of my head. Part of me wants to pick up that phone and burst out in tears and tell her I'm sorry and that I am happy for her. Then the other part of me says that its been too much time and she isn't going to anwser my call and not call back.

I'm not sure what is going on with me here latly. The past week I have been feeling different. Like not a bad different, a good actually. I have been having a urge to go to church, to reconnect with friends that I have not talked to in a while(good terms) "Amy" especially. I have been feeling better about myself, am sticking to my diet, I am finding more paitence with Logan, and I am really connecting with Shane on different levels then we have ever connected before. Its really weird.

What would you ladied do in my situation? If you were "Amy" would you pick up or call back? Have any of you had this strange feelings?

Re: Some Advice Please

She sounds like one of those "toxic" friends and I'd probably leave her go. Anyone that would want to ruin your wedding, isn't a friend.

Do what you feel is right though!

Wendy is right. This Alex could be an abuser and twisting her mind against you since he hates you. I had a friend I had to let go after over twenty years of being very close friends. I still miss her from time to time, but she has made it clear she does not want to be friends anymore. Amy has made it clear in hurtful ways that she does not want to be friends. Why hurt yourself more? You are not alone. I think a lot of us have had a close friend turn on us.

I agree with Wendy. If she wanted to try to ruin your wedding then that my dear is not a true friend. She should have been happy for you and offered to help you with the wedding even though she was not going to be a bridesmaid.

Those type of people are just not worth stressing over.

Re: Some Advice Please

I think it's your decision to make. It sounds like she has or did have low self esteem, and that she made some very bad (immature) decisions during the times you described. If you feel compelled to call her and wish her well, do it, but do it with no expectations. Do it because you want to wish her well, not because you are hoping for some reciprocation or renewed friendship. If she does seem open to being friends again, I would proceed with caution given everything that happened. I would not jump back in whole heartedly and go all out on the friendship. I would keep it very casual and take it slow with her, just to protect yourself. I say this because she doesn't seem to be happy when you are happy, and that could be a sign of past immaturity or it could be that she is a toxic person just like Wendy and Lenora said. You say you are feeling good and happy, and if she is a toxic person, she will lure you in and then try to sabotage your happiness. So, be careful.

I agree with Tammy. Call, wish her well, and move on. Can you MySpace or FaceBook her? It might be easier than actually calling. Especially if it turn out that she doesn't want to talk to you.

Whatever you decide, best of luck.
