Am I in the wrong here?

So I live in a different state to my friend from Uni, we have had an on and off friendship mostly due to us not living in the same country but we have seen more of each other in the last few years ( last time I visited was 2 years ago)
Anyway she invites me on a girls weekend with her friends who I have not met, except the girl who’s house we went to turns out I had met her briefly 2 years ago, besides the point.
the invite was around 5 months ago, I book my plane tix and leave and a week before the trip she tells me she broke up with her partner ( rebound guy, of 16 months) so I said we can have a good time and take her mind off him.
we had a fab night when I got there, even though it was focussed on her partner and the break up I was more than happy to be a shoulder to cry on.
Next day two of her friends pick us up to take us to this holiday house, let’s call her Maddy.
Maddy greeted us with a platter and bubbly and welcomed us to her beautiful home. We weren’t even there 10 minutes and my friend starts asking Maddy if she cracked on to her partner at a 40th they were at.
it made the situation very uncomfortable.
anyway we headed out and went for lunch where my friend and her 2 besties were being really cold to this Maddyit was an undercurrent and as I don’t know these ladies I chose to just chalk it down to that.
my friend got progressively more drunk and the restaurant refused to serve more alcohol to her. At this stage I was outside waiting for her.
went to find her and she was shouting at the owner for cutting her off.
I went to get her and told her we were leaving and took her arm in mind and gently walked her out trying to calm her down.
we went to another place. Here her and her friends started questioning Maddy why she didn’t invite my friend to her husband’s party. She was said well it’s not her party and her ex would be going and he husband is good friends with the ex rather than. My friend.
anyway Maddy was upset so wanted to go, I decided to go with as I really didn’t want her catching a cab on her own.
my friend was in the toilet so I called to let her know what was happening and that I wanted to go home and watch the coronation with Maddy.
when they all came home my friend totally blasted me and Maddy and told me I was picking sides.
i Explained I have no idea what this is about I just didn’t want Maddy to go home alone and I myself wanted to go.
she didn’t accept that and told me she didn’t want anything to do with me.
this leaves me with a person I didn’t know having to make my way to the airport to get an earlier flight so I could just get home. Her friends who I went with were cold as ice to me for “ betraying “ my friend. So I had to ask Maddy for a lift to her house, bearing in mind I met this lovely lady once 2 years ago, and her husband who I never met took me to the airport.
my friend didn’t contact me once to ask if I was ok to get home or even check if I got home ok.
no word of her even the next day. Is this fucked up or Am I missing something.

Your friend sounds like an arsehole

“her husband who I never met took me to the airport.”

So he didn’t then?
You conveniently were able to lift share in his taxi that was going anyway.
More fangirling, that choice of phrasing.
It’s quite different, the level of generosity and kindness in going out of your way to drive your wife’s friend of a friend to an airport, to just saying, “oh yeah I’m going there - hop in.”

None of that doesn’t mean you’re Freitas isn’t trash and a bully… but you could just stick to showing that instead of writing misleading comments about how great Maddy and her husband are. Just, odd!

Semantics! And what’s it to you anyway? You seem to be a bit of a troll on this thread..

Sounds like your friend’s friends love the drama, they don’t know you or Maddy so I’m sure they had a great time winding up your friend and watching her have a go at you both.

some people live for it for unfortunately, it’s their version of entertainment.

You’re better off out of it, they all sound like they deserve each other.

You can’t start a thread for opinions then call troll just because you don’t agree with my comments 🤣
Troll hunting isn’t allowed by the way.

As for “And what’s it to you anyway?” - nothing really, I was up late last night, couldn’t sleep as my mother is dying. So I was scrolling through mumsnet as a distraction. You asked, I replied.

If people weren’t allowed to reply to threads where it wasn’t anything to do with them… I think the site would atrophy, no?

Ahhh yes I understand the tone now, you are also angry and hurting. I wish you and your mum Peace.
