Would you be upset?

Lynne, on August 11, 2019 at 7:50 PM Posted in Family and Relationships 0 10
So my sister was my MOH in my wedding recently. She accepted to be in my wedding last year October which is close when I just got engaged. Time flies and it’s three months before the wedding. She still has not picked out a dress yet. A month and a half
goes by and she still did not get her dress yet. I ask her why and she said she’s broke. So why not say I can’t afford to be in the wedding? So I am nice enough and by her dress. Hardly even a thank you. A week before, does not even ask me once if I need help with anything. She’s posting on social media going to the pool and dinner with her friends, cooking out and having get togethers but does not mention one single word to me? Four days before the wedding she texts my mom and says she can’t be in the wedding anymore cause she has to make money and babysit. Seriously?! I already bought her dress. Four days before my wedding and she decides to play this guilt
trip. I offered to pay for her gas to drive to the venue. She got a free hotel room. The morning of when all the girls are getting make up and hair done, she decides to get airbrush done which is way more expensive than airbrush. Then she gets her hair done. Then afterwords she comes to me saying she has no money. I had to pay for her makeup and hair!! I was so frustrated. Not even a sincere thank you. Each bridesmaid got over 5 gifts from me which she got one to and didn’t even say thank you. Before the reception I couldn’t find her anywhere. Turns out she was sitting in the room on her phone pouting. Really? She ended up leaving my wedding right after dinner and didn’t even say bye to me. I had to ask multiple people were she went and nobody knew and then someone saw her leave.... Turns out my brother ended up giving her money to go take his kids home. Interesting. I asked her if she will be paying me back. She said she would in small increments. She’s posting things again of buying and doing all these expensive things and still have not received a time or not even a thank you from her! So I asked her today. And she got all rude with me and said she won’t have any money until next Friday. Keep in mind that I have been holding a lot of tension in from her upsetting me. I finally broke down and said I really am sick of being treated like this. I told her that I feel as if she has been ungrateful for what I have done. Then she tells me she had to pull a lot of strings to be there because she has other siblings she has not seen in a long time (we are only half sisters) and that I need to calm down relax and get therapy... she then told me that I didn’t even do anything for her because I am asking her to pay me back...I am beside myself on how she treats me... who wouldn’t be upset about this?

    I mean, I would be upset, but what was she like before this all happened? Were you two close? If you weren’t close, and she’s always been this way, I don’t know why you’d expect her to be different just because you’re getting married.

    I would definitely be upset by this. I'd feel like she doesn't care and isn't making the wedding a priority. It sounds like you two were on very different wave lengths, with different expectations & assumptions the entire time.
    In my mind, it's less about whether you're upset now and more whether and how you two will rebuild your relationship after this.

    She is a user. Do not EVER pay for her again. Do not EVER give her responsibilities again. She is ungrateful, money grabbing, and gaslights you after taking advantage of you. Don't loan her money. Don't put yourself in a situation where any payment would be required. Don't eat out with her. Don't hire her to babysit any of your children. Her behavior, especially telling you that you need therapy, is appalling. I personally would not spend time with someone like this, unless it was at a family event.

    First off, I am so sorry to hear you were treated this way leading up to your wedding, and are still being treated this way! Can I ask what is the age difference and how was your relationship with her?

    At least from what you wrote, she seems younger then you and it sounds like she took the role of MOH and didnt understand what she needed to do for a wedding or just expected you to pay for everything for her. I find highly offensive and RUDE that she went and got her hair and makeup done and THEN tells you she does not have money. I would be livid. What do your parents say about this?

    This sounds a bit like my youngest sister. OMG the chills I felt reading this. I feel like there's no point of pursuing her for the money, because there's a big chance that you won't see that money again. Your sister seems immature, I'm sorry to say, but that's the feeling I'm getting from it. She blatantly used you on your wedding day. I mean, what you posted I felt disrespected by, and this didn't even happen to me!! LOL gosh! I am REALLY sorry that your sister has behaved like this, especially on your wedding day! It's mind-boggling. I would just not talk to her for a while. Honestly. Sometimes distance makes the heart grow fonder. Who knows what may happen. But I wouldn't bank on getting your money back. Your sister is just plain mean. I hope everything gets better for you.Smiley heart

    I'd be upset. You paid for her stuff and I don't know it just sounded like she was constantly making excuses not to be in it.

    I think you have every right to be upset. It sounds like your sister has some other more serious issues going on....You're entitled to be upset, but realize her actions are not your fault and are out of your control.


    Hopefully over time you can remember that better parts of your day, and hopefully eventually she will mature and learn how to handle herself better in these situations.


    Sending you positive vibes Smiley heart

    I think you have a right to be upset but i can't believe this is the first time she has acted like this. And although you love her i probably wouldn't have had a MOH after she called 4 days prior to the wedding saying she wasn't coming.

    As far as the money goes count it as a loss and just limit communication with her until she apologizes and/or takes your feelings into consideration,

    And if your brother knew she's your MOH why would he pay her $$ to leave the wedding to take his kids home? seems strange if he knew she had a role in the wedding and should've been there to support you.

    I would be upset, too! She seems like an ungrateful person who uses people to get what she wants. I'd cut ties with her, or at least put some good distance between us
