BT - Friends come and go and that''s just life. My perogotive is if you have a friend that is taking more than they are giving then CUT THEM OUT. Friends should be sunshine in our lives not clouds and rain. I''ve cut many friends from the team over the years because of this. I can count my good awesome go to friends on one hand and I''m perfectly happy w/ that.

Yep, that''s exactly it. And you are 110% right about the sunshine/clouds thing. I just need to grow a pair and do this already.

It''s going to be pretty clear I''m lying when I say I have a previous commitment, since I''ve known about this wedding for about 6 months, but that''ll send the message, I guess!

Thanks, everyone! I still feel bad about ending a relationship, but that''s my own issue. I was talking to some of her BMs and they don''t even like her very much, or feel that close to her. That just makes me sad.

When one door/friendship closes another one opens. I''ll be your friend, wanna come to my imaginary DW?

Um, sorry, I have a prior commitment!
j/k YEAH! Can we go to Turkey??

I want to come

I tend to drift, too. I mean, if you confront someone you''re going to have to ''have it out'' and with drifting at least no one''s feelings get hurt - you just move apart.


There''s no good way to discuss ''I think you''re a bad friend''

Yeah, that''s very true. What if she asks why I am not attending her wedding? Just tell her we''ve drifted apart?

Thanks, SunnyD. I have no huevos, either. Drifting is easier. But I''m not going to the wedding, because it''s a destination thing and I don''t want to pay for hotel and airfare, etc, for someone I don''t particularly care about.

I personally don''t think you owe her any explanation. If she does ask you outright just tell you can''t make it. I''m SUPER honest and don''t pull any punches though so I tend to be very blunt. I actually have balls and a vagina.

Pics or it didnt happen...

You might regret asking for pictures.

Well said, WL. I mean, sometimes everyone needs to take a little more than they give...but if that''s a consistent thing, then they need to go.

What problems can''t we solve here? I think Small Talkers should run for president as a team! If everyone was as perfect as us, the world would be a better place!

Too true. Tough love, lots of booze, and open discussions about bodily functions. Exactly what this country needs!

Its important for women to discuss bodily functions!

I remember having a discussion with a group of girls one night where we found out ALL of the other women in the group had experienced orgasms while sleeping, but all of us thought it was abnormal because they don''t tell girls that this happens in sex ed!

And the small talkers rejoiced and said "let there be pooping and buckets of wine"! Hallelujah!

YAY!

I think that''s my first shirt comment!!!

And elle, I totally agree. Chicks need to have those discussions...especially in places where they feel comfortable because a lot of times "normal" isn''t really "normal" at all!

If she asks (and can actually get in touch with you

) tell her you had a previous engagement. Did she go to your wedding?

I agree with HH, I''d still send a little something. Esp if she went to your wedding. RSVP to everything else no. She should get the hint.

To clarify my previous post. I''d only send something to the wedding, not the shower, etc.

Wait, girls have nocturnal emissions? I WANT ONE! Why am I 32 and I''ve never had one that I can remember?

OMG they''re the best ever! Since you''re asleep, you don''t tense up at all, so they''re really, really strong.
