A reader shares her hurt feelings when no one threw her a bridal shower.
I felt something was wrong with my closest friend for a while. She was my maid of honor but didn’t have a shower for me. She also showed up at the wedding venue fully dressed and made up, when we were supposed to get ready together.
Cut to that summer. When her daughter got married, she asked my husband and me if we would video the wedding, and we readily agreed. Weeks went by, and we heard nothing. Then she posted the wedding photos on Facebook. I can’t remember the last time we saw each other, although she lives 15 minutes away. She texts me about once or twice a month.Should I just stop responding to texts entirely or tell her she’s off the hook and doesn’t have to keep up this pretense? --Of course you’re hurt; a friend who once meant a lot to you is now distancing herself without so much as an explanation.
