WWED?

Non-wedding related, but you ladies seem to give good advice.

This weekend my best friend and her family invited me on vacation with them.  We went out drinking the first night and my best friend's sister got very drunk and ended up slapping me in the face because she said I was teasing her too much.  I ended up hitting her back, which I immediately regretted, but it was more of an instinct than anything else.  I apologized the next day but never received an apology in return. 

My best friend's sister doesn't seem to think she did anything wrong.  I basically want nothing to do with her anymore, but I know that is going to cause serious tension between me and my BF.  My question is, what should I do now, if anything?

Well.  You've apologized.  Now it's time to just move on.  And don't drink around her.

Do you normally hang out with best friend's sister frequently? I would probably not do or say anything and just move on. Even if she's around, I wouldn't bring it up or demand an apology; that would probably just make it worse, and if she wanted to apologize, I assume she would've by now.

are you still on vacation with them?  If so, I might leave..that could be pretty awkward.

If you all are home, I would definitely drop it.  There might be a bit of tension around you and your friend, but I would just try to go on as business as usual.

I do - BF and her sister live together.  About 5 min away from me and FI.  We see them all the time.  I'm just horrible at hiding my feelings.  I know it's going to be awkward.

My BF did apologize profusely and feels like it's her fault even though it's not.  I just hate putting her in an awkward spot now because she loves both of us and it wouldn't be fair to make her "choose".  I'm always one to "fix things" but I find it hard to do that when I'm the one who got biiitch slapped.

Wow, looks like things may start to work out after all.  BF's sister just texted me (unprompted)and said "Sorry for all the 'tude this weekend."  Not the best apology in the world, but hey it's better than nothing.  Wonder if she's stalking me...haha.

So your best friend hasn't said anything about the situation to her sister or asked her to apologize?  If not, then I think your best friend is not being a very good friend to you.

As for hitting her back, I admit that if someone slapped me, drunk or not, I would probably hit back but that is your basic self-protection instincts coming out, not that I would really want to legitimately hit someone.  I do, however, hypothetically want to hit the sh*t out of a lot of people.

She might have just felt really, really badly about it- it's easy to apologize when you're in the right, it can be really hard to apologize when you're in the wrong.
