Re: What would you do?

I think it's crap that you felt obligated because she's a drama queen and has no friends.

Not your problem. Everyone has their own lives to live. I hate going to things I don't want to.

Beg out now and simply be honest.

At the time of the blowup, I told her I'd stop by, but that I wouldn't be staying long because I have an early morning the next day - which is true. I figured after what had just happened, I didn't want a repeat.




Because you said you'd go, either keep your word and go, or tell her -- right now -- that you can't make it.



ITA: I think you should try and make an appearance, because, you already said you would "Stop By".

problem is - i already said yes - so if I'm gonna get out of it, I'm going to have to lie



This is why I would go if I were in your shoes.



I agree...not only did you say yes, but you said it during a conversation about the other events.
Go for an hour - you don't even have to stay for 2-3 hours. Stop in, say hello, have a beer and go home. This is what you said you would do - so do it.

Re: What would you do?

she just came by and was telling me stuff about the wedding. I was telling her stuff from our wedding experience and she came back with a rather "offensive" reply.

I am seriously re-thinking going.

What did she say?

I was about to tell you that you should go in, have a drink or two, then split.

But, if she was offensive, I would tell you to bail out.....

Re: What would you do?

How will she know if you went or not? Is her FH going to give a detailed play by play of who did what at his bach party? (Sounds like tons-o-fun then).

If you only met this guy twice, will he recognize you and hang out with you?

My vote is don't go.

Come on - don't let your co-worker badger you into going. This is ridiculous.

Nip it in the bud now before the baby shower, christening, 1st birthday stuff starts.

If she is a good friend, go. If she's a co-worker, skip it.

If it was that bad, I wouldn't consider her a friend and would not worry about her feelings. Is it at all possible that she didn't mean for what she said to be offensive? I had a friend that says some of the most offensive things in the world and she has no idea that she is being so mean.

I agree.

is there a reason, other than your good nature, that you care whether or not she gets upset with you (meaning could you face any repurcussions at work??)

if not, AND she's guilting you AND now being offensive, SKIP SKIP SKIP

problem is - i already said yes - so if I'm gonna get out of it, I'm going to have to lie



IMO, since you already said yes, I would go. And, Queens isn't that far from the city, so it's not too much of a trek. Save $20 for a cab home so you don't have to deal with the train/bus.

If you didn't already give an answer, then it would be different, but since you said yes you are already committed. Who knows, you may end up having a good time.

I think you should go to at least the 1st stop...the bar. I only say this because you already said you would "stop by". Go, have a drink or two, stay for an hour or so and go. You don't have to stay for long; just make an appearance.



I agree.

ETA: Just read page 2. Seems the decision was made.

Enjoy your Saturday night. Chat Icon

Don't lie, but don't go.

Just tell her you are sorry to back out a the last minute, but you won't be able to make it.

No need to elaborate.
