What would you do? A friend and I had a falling out a while ago. I was a bridemaid and then after our falling out said she didn’t want to be friends at all. Now she reached out to be on the look out for the wedding invite. Would you attend?

As a guest or a wedding gift bringer?

Before accepting, I would have a conversation with her. You’ll feel better after clearing the air before you commit to attending.

I would straight up tell this friend that if she wants to continue the friendship then you both need to talk and clear the air. What kinda f’d mind game is this that she doesn’t want to be friends anymore and then tells you to look out for the invite? For what? To put it in the shredder?
Granted weddings are stressful and she maybe going through stuff but unless you stand up for your self, be ready to be dumped by her again right after the wedding if she can’t be held accountable for her words and actions. I’d just put this friendship on hold for the time being, she needs to come to her senses and that may not happen until after her wedding is done and dusted.

I appreciate this. I was very confused why she would even invite me when she rescinded the invite in the first place (did not enough guests rsvp)? I was doubting her intentions since her invite did not come with an apology or an ask for a conversation, just like nothing happened.

Do you still want to be her friend, if she makes amends?

Maybe she wants to make amends? Talk to her ?

I forgive easily so yes. Sounds like she is extending an olive branch.

I’m going to be a dad! But I have some questions. When should I tell my manager/teams? I’m up for senior promotion this year, will this impact that promotion? For those of you that work in public what tips do you have for managing your work and family responsibilities? For context, my wife, once she’s done with maternity leave, will only work 25-30 hours a week. I know working in public and having a new born is probably going to be a lot to juggle, but I have to make it work.

Do you think you and your significant other should have similar personalities? My significant other and I are doing long distance and I feel like when I FaceTime with him, I emote more and show interest by asking more questions but from his end, he doesn’t always have a reaction or just nods, and it makes me feel like he’s uninterested. On his end he sees it as he’s comfortable.
