I have all these feelings of excitement, but it’s hard to share them because they get dismissed or there’s a snide comment from my friends.
They were there for me when we split up, and I understand their hesitation. They don’t want me hurt again. But it’s starting to hurt my feelings and makes me question if having a wedding is advisable.The date is set, the venue is booked and you are happy. The next time any of your friends makes a sarcastic comment, tell them you don’t appreciate it and you aren’t going to change your plans.
Every year, she wishes me a “Merry Christmas,” buys me a Christmas gift and a Christmas card. She’s a truly nice person, and I don’t think she’s deliberately being dismissive or insensitive. I have mentioned this to her several times over the years, but it seems to fall on deaf ears. Without insulting her or seeming ungrateful, how can I let her know this bothers me?If she’s a dear friend, she’s not likely trying to upset you.
