I'll try to keep this brief but I also don't want to be accused of drip feeding.
I've recently split up from my DH and times have been tough. I can't afford to take the DCs on holiday this year myself but ex is taking them away for a week. As a present, my very supportive friend booked (and paid for!) a weekend in Amsterdam while the DCs are away. She didn't know this happened to be the weekend that another close friend of mine is getting married. My friend offered to take someone else instead of me and said I shouldn't feel bad but I could tell she was upset. It's also going to cost me because my name is on the airplane tickets and I don't want her to pay extra when she's already forked out a fortune for the trip. I really can't afford it though. I was also really looking to going. This friend has been the best friend anyone could ask for. The friend who is getting married is not the best friend in the whole world. I was there for her when her relationship ended but she didn't return the favour. That said, she is one of my oldest friends and it would be sad to lose her friendship over this.
I would like to go to the wedding but would much prefer to go away. AIBU?
