 (Nick Galifianakis for The Post) | Carolyn Hax is away. The following first appeared June 27, 2007. Hi, Carolyn: I am supposed to attend a wedding soon. The bride is my best friend from childhood, but our relationship has been very one-sided for the past five years with me doing all the work. We have grown quite distant. At her bridal shower and bachelorette party, I met her new friends and a few old ones she has stayed close with. I left the parties feeling rejected because she made it so clear she's not interested in being close friends anymore, and I felt jealous that she was giving attention to these other friends that she has not given me for a long time. Now I am just plain angry. And one of the strongest reasons I have for attending the wedding now is to show up looking fabulous to upstage her. It is so wrong, I know, but I just can't get rid of all of these hurt and angry feelings. At the same time, ditching her wedding seems like a very bold statement. Plus, my mother will be attending the wedding. Should I go or cancel? — Angry |
