Maid of Honor Refuses to Attend Wedding After Bride Fails to Congratulate Her On Her New Job: 'You only think about yourself.'

Welcome, besties. Best friends are the ones who always have our backs - through the best of times and through the worst of times. Best friends are always there to support us when we need help. They know exactly what candy to buy and which movie to put on when we get hit with a bout of melancholia. They know what words to say to encourage us, and they know how and when to speak the truth when we need to hear it. Best friends are also supposed to be the first to congratulate us when we finally succeed in our endeavors, but sometimes, friends don't always meet our expectations.

In our story today, our protagonist feels slighted by her best friend's failure to congratulate her on her new job - something she had been working towards for a while. Despite knowing that her BFF is tunnel-visioning due to the imminent arrival of her wedding, our protagonist is so offended that she considers abandoning her duties as a bridesmaid. Scroll down to read what advice commenters had to give her and whether or not they managed to change her perspective on the situation.
