I have something on my mind and it has really been bothering me today. Ok, I will call my partner "K". And, her friend "S". So, K has this friend named S. S is supposed to be K's best friend. They have known one another for 17 years now. I have met S and honestly, I do NOT like her. There are reasons why. S NEVER comes over to our house to visit K. Her excuse is..."We are just too busy." K always has to go there to visit, so basically it is a one sided friendship. S only calls when she needs something. And when K talks to S, K always ends up crying at the end of the conversation because S gives K NO respect at all! S is very degrading and rude to my partner K and I really don't like it! Ok...the story goes on. My partner K is in S's wedding coming up next month in October. K doesn't really want to be in the wedding, but due to they have been friends for 17 years, K thinks that she would respect S's wishes and be in her wedding. Talk about Bridezilla!!! S has to have everything perfect! Which I can understand because it is her big day. But, to disrespect her supposedly best friend? How rude can you be? Anyways...my partner K says she is going to be in the wedding, and then after the wedding, she is DONE! So, I am just asking what you all think and what YOU would do if you had a friend that is suppose to be your best friend, who disrespects you. Would you continue to talk to such a negative person? I feel bad for my partner because I know how hard it is to lose a friend, but no one should treat you that way. I can't wait to hear your responses! Thank you in advance for your responses!

I think that thing that jumps out here is this friendship is one sided. Your partner is willing to try to have some kind of friendship with this person, but S is just selfish. Period. There are people that I've known over the years that I was in their weddings. Some of them I had no idea why, we kind of hung out in high school and tried to be friends after that but out lives headed two different ways. The fact that she always wants your partner to visit her and not vice versa is saying that S isn't really interested in her as a person. I see it as she doesn't care about where she lives, now she lives, just that she's a body to put up there on her wedding day.
If this were me, I wouldn't do it. I've been in weddings before to past friends, but non of them that were rude or disrespectful. Thinking bridezilla isn't just for the wedding. I think that is just her personality and since it's her wedding she can justify the nasty person that she is.
Just my opinion.

I agree with you completely! I also think S is VERY selfish and I wish she would realize how selfish she really is! I guess it will come back to her eventually in the long run. Then she will regret how she treated K! Thank you for your input! Have a great day!!!
