AIBU to my friend? What would you do?

So, long story short. I have two close friends, closer to friend 1 than friend 2. We were all discussing taking a holiday together, which myself & friend 1 agreed to. But whilst I’m standing there friend 2 says I want to go away but just me & friend 1 (not me) right in front of me. Friend 2 is just acting like nothing happened. Friend 1 just apologised. I am shocked & feel like a crap person & contemplating just writing my friendship off with friend 2. Would I be unreasonable to do so?

How awful for you... I’d be mortified if it happened to me. Friend 2 would certainly not be a friend of mine after . The atmosphere between the three of you is now strained.
I’d back away for now . Hope friend 1 has a decent explanation but I doubt it.

I would get rid of both!! Friend 2 sounds just as bad because she didn't say anything...I certainly wouldn't be going on holiday with them!

Does friend 1 and 2 like doing a particular thing that they think/ know you wont want to do , ie go skiing but you prefer beach hols or they want to go night clubs but you prefer the arts ?
If this is the case it is sort of understandable but very tactless put , if not then id pull her for it there and then and ask why she said that , ( and be mighty pissed off if they could not come up with a very good reason. )

Good grief. What's wrong with her? Does she often have zero filter?

MoonlightDancer · 03/10/2019 22:55

Sorry that should say friend 1 is just as bad! Basically save your money and go away with people who are nice and actually know how to treat someone with respect!

JesusHRooseveltChristAgain · 03/10/2019 22:57

What did friend 1 say? Sounds so bizarre!
I hope friend 1 stood up for you!

LeedsGirl1 · 03/10/2019 22:58

I think friend 1 was just so shocked at friend 2 response. No friend 1 suggests things we all like to do.

She has never said anything like this before. Maybe her filter failed that day ha!

Well after this happened friend 1 & myself kind of ended up on our own & she suggested things to do just me & her but I am not a nasty person I’d never want to excluded anyone

"Friend" 2 isn't your friend. How horrible.
I'd give friend 1 the benefit of the doubt though, as maybe she just didn't know what to say - awkward silence and all that, I'd probably be the same!
Seeing as friend 1 was talking about going on holiday with you as well, she sounds alright.
Ditch 2 though, I would. You don't need that type of shit.

I'm sure I read this exact scenario before, within the last month, was that you too?

LeedsGirl1 · 03/10/2019 23:50

@blockedanddeleted No, I don’t post often. Maybe a lot of people are falling out with friends Grin

I read the exact post recently too.

BlockedandDeleted · 03/10/2019 23:56

It was pretty much word for word...very odd..

LeedsGirl1 · 03/10/2019 23:58

Maybe I posted in my sleep GrinGrin

I would go on hols with Friend 1 & leave Friend 1&2 to do something on their own. Bit mean of Friend 2. I would cool things with her tbh.

Barbel · 04/10/2019 00:10

Dump them both
2 witches

KellyHall · 04/10/2019 12:39

Just continue to do things with friend 1. The other person can no longer be considered a friend! Her loss :)

Batqueen · 04/10/2019 13:36

Why don’t you suggest to friend 1 that you two do something as friend 2 would clearly prefer not to go away with you. Then they can arrange a trip away together as well if they choose. Everybody wins (other than perhaps friend 1 if she ends up having to pay for two holidays when she can only afford one but if that’s the case she will have to grow a spine and tell friend 2 she had the option of joining on the first holiday and turned it down!)

Yep I was trying to figure out if the date was wrong on this. Read this word for word not long ago.
