One of our good friends got married this weekend in south America .. My partner and I had been due to attend but due to our landlord giving us notice we literally couldn't go, we had already spent over 1k each on flights and accommodation but due to the nature of the trip some accommodation was to be paid when we arrived and all food/drinks/transport also had to paid for roughly a further £900 each.
We explained this to our friend who was initially sympathetic and understood our priority was finding a home and ensuring we had the money to cover all the costs, All fine.
Friend is the groom if that matters and is pretty much my partners closest friend, for the few days after we told him everything really was fine they went to the gym together etc and then he went very silent. Partner asked what was up and after a few messages he responded saying he was pissed and gutted we wouldn't be there. His family don't support the wedding so we had been his only guests so I get he's disappointed but to be pissed off?
Anyway wedding was on Saturday messaged him well wishes and he hasn't responded ..
This is a really good friend and I'm now second guessing should we have just gone? I mean we spent the money on flights and technically we have the money to have gone but that would have eaten into our house deposit fund and I just didn't think that was the best thing to do??
I guess really I'm asking am I (and my OH I suppose) terrible friends?!
