Going out on a limb here, but do you think there may be some possibility that she really is concerned for you and your well being?
Just thought I'd ask because I cannot believe someone could be that cruel to you, especially causing you to cry and not getting a clue as to how much more stress it was causing you to be treated so insensitively.
I think you hit on a key point when you said she was a perfectionist. She is trying to eliminate any possible problems in her own mind. What, is she thinking you are gonna have to run down the aisle in the middle of the ceremony to visit the bathroom? Give me a break! Sounds like she is simply a spoiled self centered person who wants everything to focus on her I guess. Like Tina said, she obviously isn't the friend you thought she was, which is also very hurtful to you now.
I don't think you need an excuse not to go to the wedding. She gave you a very good reason not to go. I don't think I could go and watch someone else take my place.
I had to go to my nieces baptism and watch my sister's friend stand in as the Godmother and to this day it upsets me when I hear my neice refer to this other person as her Godmother instead of me. It hurts to feel rejected and so easily replaced.
And it makes me mad that she did this under the ruse of taking you out to cheer you up when what she fully had in mind was to lay all this on you instead!
I'm so sorry you were hurt by her insensitivity. And I know it probably doesn't lessen the hurt by saying "she's the one who's losing out" more than you. But that's the truth.
You are a nice person and she truly is losing out by not having you as part of her day.
Big hugs to you. Sorry you had this happen after such a nice day you shared with us a couple days ago
The world is just full of insensitive people
