RANT *argh!!*

charbar16, 23 September, 2013 at 14:18 Posted on Planning 0 1

Hi ladies,

I really REALLY need to rant - I am so upset and too angry to know what to do with myself!!!

One of my best and oldest friends is a guy - Tim. We worked together years ago and stayed friends - then we lived together in London for a year. He's gay and we've been there for each other through enough messy break ups over the years! He's always been a bit flakey though and he is a TERRIBLE sulker - he once didn't speak to me for two months when I cancelled coming to see him for his birthday party. I realise this makes him sound like a nightmare - he can be but he can also be lovely.

He's meant to be doing a reading at my wedding, and we gave him a plus one (a friend of his) although he's not got a boyfriend at the moment. He seemed really excited about the whole thing and when my MOH emailed him about my hen do back in June he said he was definitely up for it.

The problem is since he's not replied to any of her emails and has missed all the payment deadlines. She told me not to worry about chasing him for the money (Tim and I work together) as she'd deal with it. But this morning I've heard from her that she sent another email last night asking about the money and he replied saying 'I don't like your tone - I'm just going to come to the night out and not stay'. (this means he wouldn't pay any of the £200 for the house hire/activities etc)

I don't know what to do now - I am so massively hurt by this. I know it sounds ridiculous but I can't think about anything else and I don't know whether to confront him (at work though which wouldn't be the best thing to do) or see if I can get a mutual friend to speak to him?

Sorry - I know some of you have real problems and I realise this sounds massively petty but it is upsetting me so much! Any advice gratefully received x

    He is, by your own words, one of your "best and oldest" friends. You need to talk to him. You should be able to talk to him. Your friendship deserves that.

    Don't think of it as "confronting" him.

    I agree you need to talk to him by yourself, go and visit him when you're not working or something.
    As you say he's one of your best friends so I don't think it's been dealt with properly from either of you tbh.
    Maybe he's offended by the fact your MOH is doing the planning and arranging with him instead of you and feels less important or a bit put out?
    You're obviously both hurt and offended so it'd be best to get together and sort it like adults instead of getting people going in between emailing or speaking to him etc.
