Girlfriends Changing

View Quoted Comment Aw sorry to hear!

I’m sorry you’re going through this! My girls are my hype girls (besides my sister that I had to absolutely ask because of my parents)🙄 but find someone who is excited for you! I’ve found some other married/engaged friends that are nothing but excited as well(:

Thank you and good idea!

I am in the same situation. When you're around them, make sure to not bring up wedding talk unless it is absolutely necessary. Take an interest into talking more and more about their lives and be sure to tell them often how much you love and appreciate them. Make them feel included without feeling overwhelmed. It's so hard to refrain from talking about it and being excited but make sure to take an extra interest into them. It'll make them feel good and avoid drama! I have done this. Good luck!

My closest friend and one of my MOH since college (19+ yes ago) hasn't had more than a few words to say to me since we announced our engagement. She says we're rushing and refuses to meet him until the day of. Every time I try to speak to her she shuts me down or changes the conversation topic. We used to be thick as thieves but now we're strangers. I feel your pain.

View Quoted Comment Thank you. This planning process has been a real learning experience. I'm grateful for my FH and others who are supportive. Hugs

My issue is with the opposite. My best friend got engaged before me by almost 2 years, still isn’t married. Won’t be getting married until 2 months after me and was not happy about it. She tried moving up their wedding to this year but couldn’t afford it. I don’t know why she’s so upset, everyone gets a day. It’s not my fault they decided to keep putting off getting married. We set our date/venue before they even started talking about budget.

I know someone who had the same issue, and I agree everyone gets their day!

I had a friend since I was 10. In January I just stopped talking to her. She always had a lot of negative and judgmental things to say about my life - my job, where I live , choice of where I vacation. When I got engaged it was the same about my wedding. To the point where she couldn’t believe I wasn’t having my wedding band custom made and called my venue a destination wedding because it was not near her part of town. I just stopped talking to her. I couldn’t take it anymore. I would let her know when she made comments to me that she was rude but she didn’t stop or care. My life is so much better without her constant negativity and judgment

Yep!! 2 of my now ex best friends even tried to get my FH to break up with me! It was insane! They loved him UNTIL i got engaged. Then we were "bad for each other"
My college housemate was the same way. Ended up moving out after we got engaged
Sooo were doing family only bridal party because of this drama

Not necessarily acting cold, but just in general not talking to me as often. My MOH was living in my spare room and after my fiancee (who had been living with us for a while) and I got engaged, she moved in with her boyfriend. She left most of her belongings in our spare room for several weeks after moving out and was seemed really upset when I asked her to move them into her new place so I could paint the room. We haven't hung out at all since then and she ended up not coming to my dress appointment. I feel like my wedding planning and the things in my life changing might be annoying her. I want to be able to get coffee with her like we used to and plan the wedding together but now I feel awkward reaching out. We've been friends for over 10 years so I hope it blows over..

View Quoted Comment Totally this!!! I make point to talk about their life and other things. Good luck and congratulations on your special day!

View Quoted Comment Try reaching our and not talk about the wedding at all. Maybe plan a girls only day. Help each other remember why you are friends, or help clarify the new relationship. Good luck and congratulations on your special day!
