Hello everyone and welcome to Middle Age Opinion.
I'm your host Ellie.
And I'm Emily.
And we are looking at brightsies today.
So you are going to start us off.
I'm going to start.
I say go straight into it.
Yeah.
So.
So.
Initially started on Am I the arsehole and telling my soon-to-be wife her wedding request is ridiculous and i will not budget on it um it then got moved over to bridezilla
which is bridezilla wants 17 bridesmaids says she can't possibly reduce that number i don't think i like 17 people
17 what 17 best friends no mate that's too many
oh
right ready bed Right, ready? Bed.
So, throw away your count.
Me, 27, is marrying 25 next summer,
and we are doing wedding planning.
My wife has always been a very... I don't know.
No, it's fine.
Has always been...
I've just got to make the right hand a bit bigger.
I just can't see it. It's just easier, isn't it? It is so much. I can't make the right hand a biggie bit. I just can't see it.
It's just easier, isn't it?
It is so much.
I can't believe I found that.
It's not even that I can't read it.
It's just easier.
It makes it, yeah, pop.
My wife has always been a very social person
and really loves her connections with her friends.
She's the life of the party type
and always goes way over the top with plans the issue is the
wedding party my wife wants to have 17 17 17 written in words not just the number now bridesmaids 17 three times you read 17 this would be her two sisters my sister two of her cousins
her four high school best friends six members of her former sorority including her big and little
girl she's not even very close with anymore but let's just say she took geek life of greek life pretty seriously and two of her
co-workers she's known for about a year my god it's a no to no 17 that's a lot i mean for me
it would have been the sisters his sisters maybe possibly cousins, depending how close, and definitely friends.
That's it, isn't it?
I had one cousin, Paul's niece, two best friends in my skin and blister.
Done.
Am I unreasonable here for thinking that that is absolutely, positively insane?
No. that that is absolutely positively insane no like the entrance procession of this ceremony is going to take half an hour itself also that would mean I need
that many groomsmen I think I have great friends and I'm social but I don't have that many people.
She suggested that since some of her friends have husbands and boyfriends they can be groomsmen.
Mate. Or some of her best guy friends can be groomsmen to make up for the number. I said hell to the no because I want these people to be my special people to me right
I tried to talk to her about reducing the number but she can't because all of these people are
extremely important to her I didn't say this but some of her bridesmaids have gotten married not including her as a bridesmaid. I suggested
maybe cut some of the sorority sisters and maybe the co-workers she hasn't known that long.
She shot down any type of compromise. This is when I said I'm going to stop doing any of my part of the wedding planning until she agrees to do this.
It's almost like we're playing a game of chicken to see who caves in to the other first.
Am I the arsehole?
No.
Mate.
No, you're not the arsehole.
Is it a hill to die on actually should be the question.
Do you know what I'm saying is this argument worth it she is adamant these 17 people are really important to her i
don't believe that for a second no but is it a hill to die on but then if he gives in
that's like his life it's all going to be excessive all the time can you
imagine the cost no how many guests you have if 17 that's what i'm saying in the bridal party
how big is this wedding but is my big fat greek wedding you mentioned greek that's what it made
me think of yeah i don't think think he's been in our soul no
isn't in reality and she's proper running with it I get that she's
excited about that but it's a little it's a bit much in it 17 people 17 all
day we're going to show we decide we're going out shopping in a minute we're going to shop we've decided we're going out shopping in a minute we're going to be going it's not 17. seven
it's not oh that was a great story if you haven't heard it it's our um
what was the podcast called it was the raunchy one yeah it was the raunchy one i can't think
about what it was called oh it's gonna annoy me i'll tell you hang on yeah have a quick mooch tell us what it was called
it was uh
slutty confession slutty confessions great stories on there so if you are a fan of our podcast and
you haven't listened to that definitely it's definitely something that we haven't done before and it is a bit more brawntry than we've ever been but you
should definitely go listen to that um yeah no he's not an arsehole no you're really she is being
a bridezilla um it's very excessive very Very excessive indeed. 17.
The top remark is, I'm going to a wedding with 30 people in the wedding party.
30 people.
The bride picked most of the groomsmen.
I mean, that's not fair.
That's not on, is it?
No, it's not on.
It's not on.
Mate.
Right.
Are you ready?
Yeah.
Okay.
We're moving through this a bit more swifter.
Okay.
Being a bridesmaid made me realise my best friend isn't really worth my time anymore.
Have you said this?
I did.
Have you read it?
No.
Brilliant.
My best friend got married and I was a bride maid. A bride maid?
I was a bride maid.
I was a bride maid.
I was a bride maid.
I've been a bride maid.
You've been a bride maid?
Of course.
I've been a bride maid.
Actually, I think a bit more than that.
Have I been a bride maid twice?
Yeah, I've been a bride maid twice.
Have I been?
No, three.
And then if I were younger, that's like four or five, like five times.
Not enough.
If you want me to be a bridesmaid, reach out to www.I'llBeYourBridesmaid.
Bridemaid.
Bridemaid.
Right, anyway, moving on.
My best friend got married and I was the ADHD.
Maybe we both need a diagnosis.
And I was a bridesmaid I was out of pocket for the hen uh do abroad 1k I didn't want to go really but as a bridesmaid I felt obliged as you do as a
as a bridesmaid I regretted going when her sister cheated me out of around 400 pounds which I never got
back I didn't bring it up and just let it slide and moved on for the sake of
the friendship and keeping the peace before the wedding in the lead up to the
wedding I had a few small life offence she't turn up for. I knew she was busy, so I wasn't too bothered.
But then I saw her posting photos on Instagram, doing other things with other people instead.
This left a bad taste in my mouth.
But with the wedding coming up, I just let it slide again.
coming up I just let it I just let it slide again come to the wedding I've been told last year my room was all booked and covered because I was part of the bridal party after the wedding night I
dropped off my keys and got called back to the reception who hit me with a 350 pound bill I was
shocked and embarrassed but paid and left later Later I messaged the bride assuming it
was a mistake but her response was the venue said rooms are charged individually on checkout.
I checked the venue website and realised I'd been put in one of the five most expensive rooms all of which must be booked must be booked if you want your
wedding there so i feel pretty used we haven't spoken since and now i feel nothing but resentment
whenever i see her wedding photos i don't think i will ever speak to her again goal that's really sad really fucking bad it's really bad everybody
has different budgets for wedding including your bridesmaid like it is really it's something that's
got to be up for discussion absolutely absolutely listen i'd do anything for any of my friends
with all the power that I have.
But if I ain't got the money, I ain't got the money.
But let your rich auntie have that room.
Not a problem.
I'll get one of the other rooms.
I'll still be there, though.
Right.
And if I can't afford, you can't afford my dress or whatever, I'll still be there for you.
You just get somebody else.
Do you know what I mean?
To do that.
And I will be there for you, but if I'm checking out, and then I've been told it's part of, part of the wedding, and then I
check out, and you hit me with 350, mate, you want to jump and swivel, because I'll be like, yeah,
that's on the bride, yeah, Uncle Tom's paying for that, it's nothing to do with me, I would be mad,
mad, not everyone's got that money, no, not if you're under the illusion as well that it's been sorted
it was done it was part of their wedding and then you find out you could have got could have got a
room for 42 pounds can you imagine fucking livid on the ground floor yeah or if you can't even
afford to stay the night you find a way to go home right it's completely unacceptable what a
fucking bitch um top comment you were absolutely used
i focus on your friends who were there for you during this time of need i assume the life
offence were ones you were looking for support during so also probably get a discount on the
room due to her party booking oh she would have got a discount on her room those expensive
rooms are as in an expense so easily could be prepared for you had she done that that would
have given you the opportunity to opt out and she wouldn't have gotten her discount. OP. Thanks, y'all. Thanks, y'all. You're right.
You live and you learn, eh?
A hard way, sadly. I think it is
sad. Cookie, I love you,
but can you finish licking yourself out
after the podcast? Thanks.
That's my dog, yeah?
Sorry for a buzz.
Right.
Over to you
oh bless her all right i've also saved two in this relic for you
i like i like it i'm thinking of you all time
go okay okay my toxic sister-in-law is hijacking my wedding okay so me female 25 and my sister-in-law
female 22 have been getting into fights recently because she keeps trying to take control of
everything in my wedding first when i was planning the cake she insisted to come with me to the cake
testing even though my husband told her not to and the whole time she was
butting in her opinion saying things like don't get I hate that flavor etc
and petty comments like that not only with the cake but she was trying to micromanage my flower
arrangements also. She happened to show up at the same time said planning was going on
and started sharing her opinion on the flowers I liked. I really wanted peonies but she said they were tacky
I hate that word
do you? how funny
it makes my mouth
a while I hate that word
it's just such a horrible word
how funny
that's a horrible word
don't know if you should have told me that
it's a bit tacky have told me that yeah probably not
use it in the right context please and being tacky
if i'm sick on your sofa it's your fault yeah it's fine it's all washable gone and they
yeah and basic so instead i want I want the baby's breath.
She even went as far to talk to the florist when I left the room behind my back and share her opinion.
Of course she did.
Important note, I am also five months pregnant and she seemed to share her opinion on everything I do with my baby.
Down to the vitamins I take and what I eat. The cherry on the top is
that she is begging to be my maid of honor but we aren't even that close and she knows my best
friend was planning on being my maid of honor but every time I try to tell her this is tell her this
she breaks into into tears. Please give me advice i don't know what to do
you gotta you gotta put a stop to it you have to put you have to put your foot down that's
really stressful to be she should actually speak to her husband and have that pressure
she needs to speak to her husband and say listen i don't want to like you know get on your sister
but it's too much for me can you ask her to back off a little bit please really not her responsibility
it's not her responsibility isn't it what's top comment top comment is um
you and your fiance need to stop telling her when you have appointments problem solved yeah quite true um
offer that go it says exactly this information diet is the only way to go from here also don't
tell who your vendors are and make sure the to password protects everything uh, I'd contact the florist and ask if you can switch the order to peonies.
Fuck your sister-in-law. Yeah, I did. I miss the mother-in-law, mother, maid of honour thing.
Just stop it really. Don't talk to her about any part of your wedding and do not make her
even a bridesmaid. go ask your friends to be in your
wedding party and cut her off just send her a text saying i have now chosen my bridesmaids
and i couldn't fit you in sorry yeah i feel it's better if you attend only as a close family member
to the to the groom because if you have her as a bridesmaid she will continue bossing you around
and stealing your thunder weird um or if you've got a friend that's a bit um bolshie
have them be your bridesmaid and get them to redirect her since when someone since when a
baby's breath more elegant than peonies i don't know this was
somebody else's like what yeah i don't know a lot about flowers but i think flowers at your wedding
are a personal choice i didn't care much i didn't want orchids because to me they look like vaginas
they do i had them they look like vaginas and i just thought i don't want to be looking at
vaginas all day i've got my own if i want to have a look I'll have a look um but other than that I was up for anything that was literally
my one no thank you I don't like them I see what else I don't like as well those red Christmas
flowers my mum loves that plant thing don't like him don't know why I just I just don't like him
well off of uh since when has baby breath been more elegant
than they were upset about someone else was very upset retired florist here baby breath suck
it smells like cat pee in large quantities and it's so freaking tacky 80s breath mauve and aqua wedding nightmares
peonies are lovely
very
I don't think
they're ugly
I don't
but very
I don't want to get
another violation
so I'm just trying
to show them the picture
so I recommend
advertise
it's just that white shit
and what's the other one called
peonies
they're what Helen had
peonies
I have no idea what she had I peonies they're what Helen had I have no
idea what she had I was very like really fat round almost a little bit rosy but
not flowers yeah P E O N I E oh they're beautiful yeah peonies they are beautiful i don't like you can see there yeah very pretty
um in fact now i remember looking at it visually i actually i actually remember
um yeah blow her off mate get her out i'd speak to your husband because otherwise you're setting
yourself up for things to come i think if you If you don't put a stop to it. I think change the date.
Just bring it forward.
Don't tell her.
Have her turn up the week after.
Yeah.
Right.
Just don't tell her.
Moving swiftly on.
Cheating bridesmaid who lost everything.
This was picked specifically for Ems.
Not entirely sure if this story classifies as a bridezilla but i posted this story
in a comment on another post and here so here's slightly longer one i was supposed to be
in the wedding and ultimately dropped out this was over a year and a half ago in the making the bride came from a
super religious family and the mum helped the groom who's in the military military design and
purchase the engagement ring he proposed without talking to her first. They spent a year together I think and in front of a group of people.
She wanted to say no but felt pressured to say yes. Later she asked us to be her bridesmaids
claiming that they are all good now. Our first red flag. The cost started adding up for the bridesmaids to be fair it was the maid of honor who totaled an
exorbitant of 900 pounds plus per bridesmaid for a dress
professional hair and makeup the bachelorette party she was planning
stuff the bride wouldn't even like and the hotel
the night of the wedding even though it was only 45 minutes from our houses after we couldn't
reason with the maid of honor maid of honor most bridesmaids and college students
college students and the maid of honor said just save 20 pounds a week from now until the wedding we decided to talk to the bride about an upcoming party this is where it gets fun
we had suspected the bride was cheating on her fiance at the party she ended up cheating with her
party. She ended up cheating with her ex and we all saw it. Many times we tried to talk to her about it but she didn't think her fiance needed to know. She even later made up a story that her
fiance was cheating on her. This was false as far as we are aware. This went on for a bit because we one by one backed out of the party and later RSVP'd
that we are not going to the wedding. Turns out a few nights before the wedding the bride got
wasted and was complaining to her fiance sister that he that he said that she doesn't she
doesn't give a good blowjob compared to his ex Wow fiance hears this and
drunkenly says something like at least I don't cheat on my partner and his family
is like hold on what during the rehearsal dinner the next day his family
confronts her both parents take the bride and groom into a room for like an hour and a half
her parents find out everything including that she isn't a virgin again super religious family
this is not cool they decided to still hold the wedding next morning
the bride the bride-to-be receives a text from the groom saying that he can't do it
bride and her family all go to the hotel he is staying at and the bride's dad flips his shit. Turns out he had dropped £150,000 for this wedding.
What the fuck?
Pay our student loans, please.
Right, you know.
And the groom's family then leave to travel back to their home state.
Bride goes home.
Bride's parents go down the aisle to renew their vows in a half-empty,
ununiformed church full of guests.
They still go to the reception since it was already paid for, though many guests just leave.
The bride and groom continue to date long distance for two more
months before officially breaking up edit should i do the edits in a minute you tell me what you
think first i'm glad i weren't there. I'm not going to lie. It was doomed. I mean, how did they even still
make it to sort of the church area? I mean, they're both cheating on each other. He's
complaining to his sister about his fiance's blowjobs. Very strange. And then it all comes
out that she's cheating and he's probably
cheated let me do the edits again the guys in the minute I'm assuming this is
that I want some people's question in the military in a submit submarine even
she had zero contact with him for those of us who met him it was only once we did all we could to get we
did all we could and he did know she was a really good friend to all of us but
not anymore it's sad and we wanted to help but but we had enough of her compulsive lying and manipulation.
Manipulation.
Manipulating.
There you go.
Nature. I hope that she changes her ways and finds someone nice in the future.
I just feel like they deserve each other.
They talk for me. I mean, oh, go on. No, you no you go okay all right i mean right so top comment this is five years ago
by the way i mean on the one hand proposing in front of people is ridiculous especially if you
are in the military and hardly know the people in the room at the time. It doesn't exactly give you an out if there is an issue
and puts a whole lot of pressure on.
So I do think this was a set-up to fail.
Also, I feel for the bride if she had hugely religious expectations
placed on her by her and the groom's family.
Irrelative of her cheating.
Bed.
Of her cheating.
They have no right to demand that she is a virgin before she gets married.
I mean, the whole thing was just a shit show.
It's just a shit show.
You know when you see these people and they propose in these places in front of everyone,
if that had been the case and I didn't want to marry the person,
I would say yes, so they weren't hurt
and embarrassed and then once we were done with that I'd be like oh by the way we're not actually
getting married I just wanted you to save face in front of all those people I can't say it when
they go no run away I'm like that was well rude you didn't have to do that no not when there's
effort it's the effort and everybody watching i mean that's humiliating
i mean i mean how long between getting engaged and actually like a month between get engaged
and getting married it's just he was obviously he was obviously in our show because if he's on
this submarine babe he's hardly he's hardly all right well then they hardly know each other either what's gonna happen he's gonna
come home after two years on you know on a tour and she's got two kids under the age two they're
both yours it's just it's just a little bit silly isn't it the whole thing impulsive marriage that
i mean the the engagement that doesn't bother me so much because at the end of the day
they could have had a long engagement right got to know each other better and if they didn't get
married at the end of it no one's actually lost anything of course but to be engaged one week and
married the next is just it's absolutely ridiculous it's ridiculous
especially when you work away for such a long amount of time it's ridiculous
but yeah that was that one wow over to you
crazy people i know i just i just feel like it gets worse and worse.
But only whilst you're there.
I just don't know why he jumped to getting married.
I don't know.
I really don't because you're just making the whole situation something that it doesn't need to be.
No.
Right, okay.
Bridezilla's.
This is mumzilla. Okay, my wedding is in two months,
nothing extravagant, but weddings are expensive nonetheless. Just went in for alterations with my mum, sister and friend, who's a bridesmaid. My mum was extremely disrespectful to my friend
while I was in the dressing room. The conversation that sparked the drama was bridesmaid dresses.
I want all my bridesmaids to wear a different colour and I was okay with them wearing different material. Though my mum is paying for the wedding,
as she insisted,
and is not paying for bridesmaid dresses,
she told my friend she is going to return her dress
and get a different one.
My friend asked my mum if they could take a pause
as my mum got incredibly aggressive with her.
Mum couldn't chill, so my friend left as peacefully as she could. I came out and I was upset but calm as a cucumber. I tried to explain
to my mum that I told everyone the deal with bridesmaid dresses. Different colours but
complementing colours and different materials
were good with me mum exploded on me and in the parking lot says i'm ungrateful disrespectful
and that she's paying for everything calls me a fucking bitch and storms off
i'm ready to pay mum back for all expenses thus far and just go to the courthouse.
It's been a terrible day.
I don't see her coming around and doing the right thing as she has had these episodes the last few weeks.
I'm worried about her as she is a brick wall and will not discuss her feelings,
but clearly she's going through something.
She would rather be buried six feet under than admit something is wrong or be vulnerable anyways
never thought i would be living this mumzilla reddit type life but here we are
so i just want to be clear she wanted to change the colour of her dress
um she wanted to
so the conversation that sparked the drama was the bridesmaids' dresses.
I wanted my bridesmaids to wear a different colour
and was okay with them wearing different materials.
Though my mum is paying for it as she assisted
and is not paying for bridesmaid dresses.
She told my friend that she's
going to return the dress and get get a different one my friend asked my mum if
they could take her paws as my mum got incredibly aggressive with her so it
does there's not enough information there really but if mum's not paying for
bridesmaid no I actually feel like it's too much pressure
she's saying
to me it sounds like
she's saying I think she's ill
but actually I think
it's the pressure
of the whole wedding
that's getting to her
like the mum's going
a bit fucking loopy
yeah
like Paul's
she's got an idea
and it's not fitting in
isn't it
Paul's mum
on my wedding day
before we were
about to leave
went I'm not coming
okay
I'm not coming because I don't, okay, I'm not coming.
Because I don't know, she was stressed or whatever,
and I was just like, okay, bye.
Okay, bye.
So I do feel like stress gets to people like that.
Someone's clicking.
It's her child who's gone to university.
She's trying to fend for himself.
I think it's bacon.
Well, that will make for an interesting part. Come on. Quick, quick, quick. In, in, in.
What is it? Bacon?
No, it's sausages.
It's like fully on full power.
Door like closed and that door wide open and I'm like, brother, it's just a bit of smoke.
Oh my God, don't,
oh, it's there.
I was like, oh no,
have I left my phone there?
Right, sorry.
Like, yeah,
I feel like she's under too much pressure.
I do.
I feel like she's stressed
and under too much pressure.
It sounds like she's putting herself
under that pressure.
A hundred percent.
I don't know why she's interfering
in the, in the bridesmaid dresses know why she's interfering in the in the
bridesmaid dresses but she is throwing in her face well I paid for everything
else so oh well don't yeah don't bother that was exciting top comment return the
money pay for your own wedding apologize and smooth it over with your
friend uh it's not your fault but obviously you need to talk to your friend it seems to be
the norm that when you take money from your parents for a wedding they go zilla or if this
is known behavior you shouldn't have taken money from her in the first place.
Right.
I do.
I feel like it, you know, it can get a bit like that.
Well, I'm helping.
Well, don't bother then.
My parents didn't.
No, but your parents are proper chill.
My parents didn't.
I had other people being like that around my room.
Like that, I'm pretty sure we're paying for you.
Yeah, mind your business. Yeah, chill out. Your mum and dad your mum dad a proper chill my mum dad will really chill to be fair
yeah some people are chill about it right moving swiftly on from the fire alarm
i stepped down as maid of honor three months before her one million pound wedding
oh i saw this and didn't attend but i feel certain my decision
based on what i feel certain in my decision based on what what what occurred what occurred what
occurred what occurred what's occurring anyway she's been my best friend since we were 12 and now we're 27 four years ago she started dating
her now fiance who's wealthy she was initially drawn to his g-wagon which is why
which is yeah which is why she was interested in him in the first place
about six months i'm assuming it's some sort of car about six months into their relationship they both cheated he left her stranded in the bahamas
while interested in the worst places she could have been stranded while interested in another girl and she and she lied to us her friends about taking family trips where when she
was really using his g-wagon to visit this guy she was cheating on with or flying to california
to see him california. Anyway, they broke up.
She dated the new guy
until he cheated on her.
Oh,
comma.
Surprise, surprise.
And then they got back with,
she got back with her now fiance
throughout their rocky relationship.
Hold on,
now fiance as in the original?
The millionaire, yeah.
Jesus Christ.
Throughout their rocky relationship,
he brought her a 1.5 million
condo uh because clearly she needed that that's what i'm i need one as well um which they uh which
they designed entirely with his money in 2022 they broke up again and i let her stay with me after about a month they reconciled
and got engaged a few months later again but over the past two years as she forced entirely
she focused entirely on her one million pound italian wedding italiana wedding we drifted apart she doesn't work and
has spent the last 1.5 years on the wedding making it making it her entire personality
our friendship suffered with incidents like her bringing friends of hers whom I'm not friends with
to my birthday dinner where she arrived an hour late and only talked about her wedding the entire
time while for her birthday I threw her a surprise party and spent a week planning. She also told me I needed to change my hair colour
or wear a wig for her wedding. On top of that, she kissed another guy during her bachelorette
trip and later got mad at her friends for not making their bachelorette Instagram posts
all about her. She even had a meltdown on our bachelorette trip throwing
attention and accusing us of being ungrateful after the bachelorette trip I said that about
eight times I realized she wasn't the friend I grew up with anymore and decided I didn't want
to be her maid of honor or even stay friends I sent her a message to let her know I was stepping
down from her wedding party and that we needed space. It was harsh. It's not you, it's me.
It was harsh but necessary. A few weeks later, I found out I was pregnant. Also her and I talked, airing our grievances but
she only half-heartedly took responsibility. We left things unresolved and I haven't
yet told her that I was pregnant. I eventually went to her bridal shower and birthday dinner but we didn't clarify my role in the wedding or my invitation
status. Later she text me pressuring me to confirm if I was attending her wedding. I wanted to tell
her in person that I couldn't go because I needed to save money due to being pregnant and also didn't want to travel to Italy due to that.
However she kept insisting so I ended up texting my decision when I finally visited her to explain
a few days later and officially announced that I was pregnant to her the conversation quickly
shifted back to her wedding. she did not seem generally happy for
me and made comments like i wish your pregnancy didn't overshadow my upset and and you're not
going to announce your pregnancy at the same time as my wedding right um do you like my little
accent then this was the last time we spoke i announced my pregnancy
and gender on instagram a few weeks before her wedding she didn't comment like or congratulate
me this week this weekend was her wedding and i did send her a congratulatory that word message but she
hasn't responded I feel certain
that stepping down away
was the right decision
but am I wrong for
feeling this way
what do you think
about that
yeah get the fuck out of that
yeah I actually
I feel like that is a messy situation she's asking
if um she did the right thing and i think actually it's because she's grieving the loss of the
friendship yeah yeah yeah when you've been in a friendship for that long it's like missing
somebody it's like somebody's died but
yet they're still there yeah of course but they're not who they were so you are technically grieving
a lot that's what she's going through that's why she's having all these all these questions and of
should i be doing this really yeah exactly you've got to protect yourself at the end of the day it's
not easy but people do grow apart you either grow together or you grow apart or you respect the different
interests that you have as friends do you know what i mean um it is sad but i feel like the
money got to her head money got to her head um it's not your fault it's not it's not ever going to be something that lasts
either and when you have this baby all that doubt and drama will just disappear because you'll be
too busy focusing on other things it's sad um someone said i had to google g wagon i i google g wagon not sure if i'm too old or too poor
probably both we are as well it's just a four by four merc it's not even fancy um
it might be but i don't think it is i uh i do feel sorry for her yeah because she's now in a position where like she should be
she's questioning what's going on with her but her friendship should also be celebrating her
and she's not she didn't give a fuck it's all about her and friendships like that never work
and it won't be as she moves on and you know she has this life of her baby partner or however she's
doing it single whatever she will move on and she will can you know she has this life of her baby partner or however she's doing it single
whatever she will move on and she will can you know continue to have close relationships and
that it won't be her in 10 years time looking back thinking i wish we were still friends it's
going to be the other one yeah because she's going to realize that a lot of people new friends are
around her because of the money because of the the lifestyle and once that's all gone you've got rushes of what you really live with
what you've got there exactly and if it isn't close friends and it ain't worth
it over to you but you're finishing is off this is gonna be the last part was
about two hours I'm gonna be about 20 minutes. This is a really, really short one, so I'm not going to read that.
