Rude Bridesmaid

I need some advice. I have a bridesmaid that has been nothing but rude with her slick inappropriate comments in front of everyone when we're doing something together as a group.

I need some advice. I have a bridesmaid that has been nothing but rude with her slick inappropriate comments in front of everyone when we're doing something together as a group. I can't take the negativity. She's a friend from my young college days and she's my Soror so I kind of felt obligated to ask her to be a BM now I'm regretting it. I know she has a dry sarcastic attitude but some things that come out of her mouth be inappropriate like bringing up past relationships or past in general amongst other things. What to do!?!

    Has she always been sarcastic ?

    because I am very much so but not mean spirited so much.

    If she's amped it up and it's feeling hateful I would let her know it's hurting your feelings and to please lay off it.

    If she is apologetic about it and makes

    An effort cool. But if she's nasty about it and gets even worse then you might have to ask her to step down. Could you give an example of inappropriate comments?

    I think the best thing would be to have an honest conversation with her about how she has made you feel and how she doesn't really seem invested. Ask her if she really wants to be a bridesmaid, and/or involved in the wedding related activities. Maybe she will bow our herself if given the opportunity. You are an adult (I think) and should be able to tactfully deal with this conflict.

    The two of you should talk. Make plans for a one on one conversation and express your feelings. If this is her nature, she may not realize that she is pissing you off. Sometimes those of us that are sarcastic don't know when we've gone to far.

    MeandMr.Jones...While I totally respect you for ignoring Amber and taking the high road with this particular lady, she will not boot herself out if she blows it in the future (and she might -- sarcasm is a personality trait and it's not easy to break). You'll be doing that. The only way she'll be booting herself out is if she quits because she's indignant that you confronted her in the first place.

    @O&S I never said she was, I said she might be, you never know what someone is going through or feel inside. Stop trying to make a simple comment into something its not.

    @ Centerpiece - great suggestions. So many want to avoid confrontation or even any form of conflict resolution and just break off relationships.

    @Bea - aahahaha....I forgot how funny WW is....
