I'd love some advice on this situation. Here's some background:
I was friends with this girl when I first started school, about 6 years ago. She was with me the day that FI and I first met. Through the years we had an on again off again friendship (in my opinion). We graduated 3 years ago, she moved to the west coast, and we lost touch. It was my feeling that our friendship had started to wane in our last year of school, so I did not make much of an effort to keep in touch, and I didn't think she made an effort either. I have not spoken to her in about a year and a half.
Today, I received an email from her saying that she was really hurt that she was not invited to our wedding, and that she thought of me as one of her close friends.
I am floored and kind of offended as well. Obviously she had a very different opinion of our friendship than I did. I obviously hurt her feelings and our "friendship."
So, I'm not sure how to handle this other than explaining to her why she wasn't invited, which will officially end our friendship. Which makes me feel guilty, but may not be a bad thing.
