Friend annoyed at me for this

i have a best friend who I get on so well with, she’s like a sister to me and we have known each other years. Anyways, we were talking over the past month about seeing a certain film at the cinema. She loosely mentioned it a few times but plans never materialised. I was waiting for her to get back to me about it.

anyways, yesterday me and my partner went to see the said film and she found out that I went and watched it with him. She texted me today in an ok mood but kind of passively aggressively confronted me about it- she was like “I see you saw “said film”
I explained and said “sorry if I upset you, you didn’t make plans with me and I was invited so I went, I would of gone if you had arranged it with me”
she then said “I see you’re sorry, I was just shocked but it’s ok now”.
we have now planned to see it next Thursday but I just don’t understand. I could definitely understand her emotion if it was another woman like in the sense of replacing her but it’s my boyfriend! We been together 6 months!
I apologised a few times but my boyfriend said I need to stop defending myself

any advice/ what are your thoughts? X

Your friend sounds like a snowflake cunt.

No need to explain why you went to the cinema etc to her. Wide berth and start being unavailble like she is to you.

Is she 12? It was the cinema not a fucking holiday you replaced her with last minute.

This sounds juvenile. How old is she?
I don't think you need to apologise and you don't need to rearrange to see it with her either! She sounds like hard work.

She sounds like a twat

God she sounds tiresome. How did she even ‘find out’ that you went to the cinema unless you told her?? Anyway, you should feel free to tell her or to not tell her, without having to worry about passive aggression/‘moods’.

Your BF is right. Your friend doesn't have a monopoly of your time and activities for here to eternity. Yeah ill go with you, but it never happened (not sure if you could've initiated it, maybe you should rather than wait for her to have organised it?), regardless, it's done now. Free to organise another thing!
