Her decision about my boyfriend completely shocked me.
It’s a big job and I have done my very best to step up in all of the expected ways. Like other people who have faced this demanding role, it can strain a friendship – but my friendship with “Chloe” has survived just fine.Last week, Chloe texted me to say that she sent out the invitations and that “William,” my very steady boyfriend of several years, was not invited.
Chloe might justify her rudeness by thinking that her attendants will be very busy on her wedding day, and because you won’t be able to spend much time with William during the ceremony and reception, she might as well exclude him. If she freaks out, don’t respond right away. Just wait quietly. After a week or two, you should have an answer from her.
Rather than describing this as “disturbing,” you could start by asking her, “Do you realize that whenever you call me, Bart’s photo shows up on my phone?”If this is her intent, you could tell her, quite honestly, “When you call me, I’m always startled to see Bart’s face. It takes me a minute or two to get oriented.
