I couldn’t figure out what the spiritual breakthrough was even supposed to be?

And I’ll go ahead and say it: the text was vicious but GTFO with it being the end of the world. Honestly. This is a person who was pissed about something so incredibly specific, she went to the exact heart of the husband’s insecurities. It was a bitch move, to be certain, but it was borne of something else.

Not to minimize your experience but at least you got asked to be a bridesmaid. Of a group of 7 friends who all got married in the last 10 years, not one has asked me. And these are not just casual acquaintances, at least on my side. I built my entire social life and essentially my entire life (although that sounds…

I’d settle for even being a bridesmaid :(

Yes. As someone who struggles with mental illness, I find the belief that all behaviours of a mentally ill person are a manifestation of that mental illness and must therefore be tolerated incredibly dis-empowering. I sometimes don’t behave in a way that aligns with my values and beliefs. Sometimes that’s due to…

80 people for a fucking shower?!?! I don’t even know 80 people to invite to my not happening ever wedding!

I have one friend who is flaky/angry. She and I will go months without talking, but then when we make up (which is pathetically me just letting her tell me how terrible I am) we get along like gangbusters (whatever that means).

“she and literally said to us “wear a black dress. you all own black dresses, just wear them.”

That sounds like the coolest wedding friend EVER.

yeah, there’s some big details missing. It’s weird she’s willing to go into such detail on some things (like the exact text), but never states what this “minor” issue was, among many other things. I think we’re getting the “everyone feel sorry for me” version instead of the “well, it sounds like all of us may have…

Yep. The fact that she could write that and not realize how glaringly self-centered it sounds amazes me. Talk about throwing people under the bus. My god.

It was left vague for good reason, I would imagine. My initial thought was what did this husband say to have someone lash out back at him in such a horrific way? It had to have been a fairly dirty fight. Much more than a casual disagreement between husband and friend.

I just wrote this above- I am kinda stunned by the warm reception to this article. She completely put her friend on blast for what sounds like a long-simmering issue in their group. All without mentioning what the husband said to make this person lash out the way she did. We are clearly only getting a tip of the story…

Meh, the text sent to her husband was beyond shitty, but I feel like throwing any shade in this situation isn’t fair because we don’t know what the husband and friend fought about initially. It sounds like things have been simmering for a long time for this lady to walk away from her closest friend. And the way the…

I can’t remember the last time I read such a holier-than-thou post.

That comment will likely sting your husband for years.

I’m a little torn, because I think that no matter what people need to be held accountable for their actions. I think that accountability should look different in certain situations (like this one) though. I don’t think the author should feel obligated to maintain the friendship the same way after an episode like this…

Yeah I couldn’t BELIEVE she published the text (but was also kinda relieved because I’m a bad person and wanted to know what it said). It seems the author is perfectly fine airing other people’s personal insecurities and histories and stories. Even if her husband said that is was ok, did he ok the backstory behind it…

I have a few beefs with the way things are phrased in this piece, but this one stuck out.

Just because you (and she) know one of her triggers, doesn’t mean there aren’t others, or that in the absence of that trigger she’s not having reactions stemming from a bipolar episode.

It’s no picnic having a relationship with…

I hope details have been changed so it’s harder to tell who it is.

Thank you. I didn’t want to be the first one to say it but what was the spiritual awakening exactly? That she likes mauve nail polish? Is the nail polish a metaphor that she can appreciate the new things the friend introduced her to but just like the friendship is temporary? And... she journals? I feel like this is…
