She Made Her Friend Cry When She Told Her She’s Dropping Out Of Her Wedding Three Weeks Before The Big Day
At the beginning of the year, this 31-year-old woman’s 32-year-old friend asked if she would like to be one of her bridesmaids.
She excitedly agreed, and it made her feel special that her friend wanted her to have such a significant role in her wedding.
She’s been struggling with depression throughout the last couple of years, and that’s caused her to lose touch with all of her friends.
It really felt wonderful to know her friend wanted to include her, even though she wasn’t in contact with her much then.
“The problem is, as the summer started, my friend basically stopped contacting me except through our wedding group chat and barely checked in with me at all,” she explained.
“We had one or two text exchanges over the past few months, but that’s about it. I know she was busy with wedding planning, but she didn’t respond to my text about getting a new job until about a week after I sent it in the group chat, and she barely asked to hang out.”
“I stopped reaching out to her a few months ago to see if she actually cared enough to reach out to me and heard zilch from her.”
Then, her friend asked her out for drinks while dropping her bridesmaid dress off to her. It was at that moment she chose to tell her friend that she no longer felt a connection with her.
She also mentioned she didn’t think they were on good terms since her friend had been failing to remain in touch with her consistently.

She no longer knows what’s happening in her friend’s life, so for that reason, she lost interest in being a bridesmaid.
This was three weeks before her friend’s wedding when she informed her that she was dropping out.
“She started crying and saying she was struggling a lot with work and depression,” she said. “I can definitely relate, but as she was talking, I realized I really didn’t feel that close with her or that I valued the friendship that much.”
“I ended up leaving and, after thinking for a few days, sent her a text that I didn’t think the friendship could continue given the way she acted and that I really just wasn’t that close to her.”
Now, two of her friends are furious with her for terminating the friendship right before the wedding. They are demanding to know why she wasn’t willing to wait until after the wedding was over to have this serious discussion with her friend.
“…I honestly had no idea how I’d show up for her on her wedding day after she dropped me this summer,” she concluded.
Do you think that what she did was cruel?
