So, the story goes, my friend and I had planned a weekend away for my hen do and it all kind of went to pot.
I have one 'friend' who is a bit on the forceful side, and as we've had countless discussions on what we wanted/didn't want to do, when it has been something she doesn't agree with (for example I don't drink, but she made a big fuss over it) she either ignores our wishes completely or goes on and on about it until we all feel we have to give in.
Over all of this, one of my friends tried to back out of going, and the massively nasty reaction to this friend had shocked me to a point that I didn't want to go. To calm things down my friend said she would come for my sake, but I knew she didn't really want to. The other 'friend' in question then went on a little bullying campaign, telling my friend she shouldn't bring any of the hen party things she had bought as she wanted everything to be from her. She argued with every little suggestion my friend had about what we could do, where we could go, and again she started having a go at us because we wouldn't be drinking.I have my reasons for not drinking, and they were personal to me, but I ended up feeling I had no choice but to explain myself just to shut her up, but even that didn't work. It ended with comments from her saying "I guess I'm the only one who'll be having any fun then" before I lost my temper, rang round my friends apologising that I wouldn't be going, it was too much hassle for what was supposed to be a fun weekend without the kids.
In all of that she has been harrassing my other friend, saying it's all her fault and other very personal and nasty comments.
I have said I will happily reimburse everyone if they decide not to make use of the booking, as it is my fault we aren't going away, and have apologised profusely!
AIBU
