Okay, so I got engaged on Thursday (yay!). We announced our engagement right away and the good news is spreading. My fiance works at a big box hardware store , where I worked for a year, so we have a lot of mutual work friends. I use the word 'friends' lightly though, as we are not extremely close to any of them and do not socialize with them outside of work. Our plan was not to invite anyone from the store, as we cannot afford to invite and feed everyone and we wanted to avoid any hurt feelings by inviting some and not others.
This morning, I received a facebook message from one of his coworkers that simply read "Am I invited to the wedding?"
Well, I can't say I'm entirely surprised. This girl is extremely immature and thrives off of drama. And I know that I should be gentle but firm and tell her no, but you have to understand how difficult this girl is to handle. She's twenty-seven years old and when her last boyfriend (who was nineteen, by the way), broke up with her (quite amicably) after a few weeks, she posted several very detailed, very nasty statuses about him on her facebook. And when the store cut her hours (along with those of all of the other part time employees), she threw a public hissy fit, where she reused to assist in her department and used some very colorful language in front of customers. I cannot understand why she still has a job there.
Where do I go from here? I really want to avoid the stress that would be caused by upsetting her and I know that my fiance still works with her daily. But I also have a backbone and do not want to bend to accommodate her childish games.
So I need some objective advice here. How do I handle this? Thanks in advance!
