Being hurt by what?

@Mrsdickinson:  I think 1. You should try not to be hurt, because she’s entitled to her feelings and she wasn’t mean about expressing them and 2. I’m a little sad for her that her attitude is once she gets married she won’t have anything left to look forward to.

You’re 22, so that means you’ve been with him since you were 15? For most people, yeah that’s moving incredibly quickly and not the path that the majority of people take. If you’re asking people for their opinions, you’re going to get their opinions. She wouldn’t make the choices you are making, and neither would I, but if it feels right to you then just ignore it and move on.

But then also STOP asking people if they’re excited or happy for you unless you know that they will unequivocally answer yes.

But I also think you were a bit over the line telling her she should be more excited for you. You did judge her reaction, when (as your friend mentioned) you weren’t very excited when she shared an acomplishment.

I think you both just need to take a step back and cool it 🙂

To be fair, i wouldnt say ut to a friend but i get what she means about not being excited about other peoples weddings. Rem3mber its a massive deal ot you, not so much for other ppl

Sounds like shes hurt u werent excited about whatever  her news was and now doesnt feel like being alll enthusiastic about yr wedding talk. She didnt say anything rude so i wouldnt be offended. And she was trying to be honest

@Mrsdickinson:  I think you should edit out all the side friends on the post.

I think you both are handling this terribly.  She’s not a bad friend if she’s not over the moon excited for you.  Plus it sounds like she has some things going on and you’ve been too absorbed with the wedding to show interest in her life.  On the other hand, I think she should have kept her opinion about your age to herself.  It’s not like she thinks your fiance treats you badly.  I also think she’s got a skewed view of what marriage means for young people (i.e. the “nothing to look forward to” comment).

Also, FYI – your screen shot contains a great deal of personal information.  Perhaps you should retype the conversation without identifying information or blur it out of the image?

I just read 10 peoples full names that you just posted on the internet that may not want their names on a public website that has thousands of members and millions of hits every day. I would remove that screen shot immediately. 

As for your original question,  it sounds like your friend genuinely has your interest at heart but they’re hurt that you don’t show interest in their life as much as you want them to show interest in yours. I would let it go.

She is entitled to her opinion and allowed to express it. I thought she was being polite and just frank in all the right ways.
