I had posted about all this nonsense back in November:
http://forums.theknot.com/discussion/1045190/i-ended-two-friendships-recently-long/p1
Basically Laney and Karen caused mucho drama around my wedding. Laney had also rented a house for the weekend of my wedding with my MOH, Cathy, and two other friends, Simone and Kiera. The ladies all booked the house way in advance. Laney had said she didn't want in. Then, two weeks before the wedding, Laney called my MOH and begged for her and her boyfriend to be able to stay at the house. The ladies then shuffled things around and told Laney they'd all split beds so that Laney and her boyfriend could have one of the rooms.
When Laney arrived at the house Friday night with her boyfriend, she flipped out. Apparently the room she was staying in had a queen size pull out couch instead of an actual bed. And when I say flipped out, I'm not exaggerating. MOH and I were at the rehearsal, but the rest of the ladies recounted what had happened. Laney actually started CRYING and said she would just sleep in her car. Why someone would have a meltdown over this is beyond me. Unfortunately Laney has been known to fly off the handle in certain situations. I honestly probably should have phased her out years ago because of past things she'd done. But I always wanted to believe the best in her, you know? For as many times as she acted like as ass, we had just as many fun, happy times.
Anyway, these dramatics went on for hours. Simone and Cathy offered to give up their room (they were sharing a bed so that Laney and her boyfriend would have their own room) but that still didn't please her. Laney fought with everyone, including her boyfriend. She locked herself in her room and wouldn't come out for the rest of the night.
She caused more stupid drama the next day while everyone was getting ready for the wedding. It's too much to type out, but at this point, everyone that was sharing the house was pretty much done with her.
Then she arrived at the wedding and proceeded to talk shit about Cathy with other troublemaker Karen. That's what the above post from November was about.
I never had it out with Laney, but after I found out about all of this, I was just so disgusted. I had texted her back in October (before I knew what went down) to hang out, and she said no. That was the last I heard from her. I was assuming that eventually we'd bump into each other and we'd maybe discuss is then. I thought maybe she'd even reach other to me. But neither has happened. I certainly wasn't going to seek her out though, you know?
Well, last night I got a text from my MOH. Apparently Laney deleted all of us and blocked us! Which, OK, you don't want to be friends anymore and the feeling is mutual. But really - these are the actions of a 35 year old woman??? It's just so bizarre.
But I feel like I have the closure I needed with Laney now. It's over and done, and I'm honestly happy to not have someone like that in my life. Life is too short to spend it on people like that.
Re: My (I guess now former) friend blocked me on Facebook.
Good riddance to her and her drama!
SO has a friend sort of like that - always over dramatic and really immature. Once group of us were hanging out and decided to rent a movie. Three of us went to pick one out while the others went to get food. This girl threw an absolute fit about the movie we picked. She seriously cried and her FI had to take her into another room to calm her down. Then she ended up loving the movie. I still can't believe how ridiculous she acted and wonder if she is embarrassed by her own behavior. We aren't really friends with them anymore and I really don't miss them.
Okay, it's fine if the friendship really ended over other things. But he did not have to apologize or give a good excuse for spending his own money, and I think Lynda's right that he could have been legitimately offended. He wasn't lying if he said didn't have money to go to dinner. There might have been another lie in there somewhere.
Climbing, it's kind of crazy to see even now, at 25, how different people are maturing (or not) since college. Glad she ended this one for you finally.
