My friend of about 12 years just broke up with her boyfriend of 4 years last night. About 6 months ago they moved into an apartment together - on their own paying their own bills for the first time - and obviously the stress of it just took it's toll. I feel so bad for her because they can't afford to cancel their lease right now, so they're going to have to live together in that one bedroom apartment for a few more months before they go their separate ways! I couldn't imagine having to live that way!! She's at work pretty late tonight and she's got the day off tomorrow, so we'll hang out then, but I really wish she would come spend the night at my place. She said that there wasn't any huge nasty fight or anything, but I can still imagine it would be nice to not be there for a few days.
Now I am kind of reconsidering my decision to exclude her from the bridal party. Sure, breaking up with her boyfriend won't get rid of any of the annoying traits that helped me make that decision but I just feel so bad for her! I don't know if being asked to be a bridesmaid would make her feel any better or not, or if it's even a good idea at all.
All I do know right now is that I'm going to be spending a good part of my day cheering her up - RETAIL THERAPY! lol
