   A DW is a LOT to ask from people. Even if you are paying for the airfare/hotel. Maybe this person really doesn't like to travel. Maybe they aren't comfortable with you paying for their trips. I agree it wasn't the right thing to do to bail on the previous trip to visit you at the last minute. But not talking to them for a…

   It sounds like he was the guy that was too socially awkward to actually ask you out even though he liked you a lot and now you're moving on with life and he's making the conscious choice to step back because either you didn't know he liked you, just assumed, or you just didn't like him that way or he feels it's his job to…

   I'm trying not to read too much into this, but honestly, it sounds like you only call him when you want something from him. Even if you're offering to pay for the something, what are you doing to keep the friendship alive in between? Do you ask him about himself when you call or is it just "me, Me, ME"? If you want to let…

   I have to agree with this. But also, your friend was on board "years ago", before you were even engaged? And at the time, you had a feeling he would bail? How can you be so surprised then, when you knew years ago he wouldn't hold true?

   If your are ready to end the friendship, just let it go. If you’re too tired, or feel like you’re the only one putting in the work then do what you need to. I do think it’s unfair to hold people to agreeing to travel to a DW, especially one in Europe (assuming you’re in the US/Canada). It’s not just the cost, it’s the…

   Friendships ebb and flow and sometimes they just completely dissolve. It's no one's fault sometimes, you just drift apart. I think its also really unfair to hold attending a destination wedding over someone's head years before you are even engaged! Some people will not fly ever or some people have trouble accepting such…

   Unfortunately, this is just the way friendships go sometimes. It is hard to maintain especially with so many major life changes (new relationship, baby, move, etc). I know it sucks but try not to let this disappointment taint your other wonderful memories.

   Honestly, I wouldn't hold anyone to anything they say about a wedding until one is actively being planned (that goes for those planning the wedding and the potential guests of said wedding). You really can't say for sure what the wedding is going to be or whether you will be able to be there until all the financial and…
