This has been causing me such anxiety because I genuinely have no idea how to resolve this or who’s in the wrong. Is my husband being unreasonable & greedy or are my closest friends tacky & thoughtless?
Some context:
- I paid for their dresses, hair & makeup plus I bought them gifts. However, they organised an incredible bachelorette for me and bought lots of necessities & champagne on the day & we’re so incredibly supportive. None of them have been a part of a wedding before. - My husband comes from a background that holds honour & respect as core values and has always been very generous when it comes to gift giving. Especially at weddings. He’s been a groomsman seven times and a best man twice and always goes above & beyond. - I’m personally torn because I want to let it go and move on but it’s not the first time they’ve been a bit flaky with gift giving. Maybe it’s just not their love language? While my husband doesn’t want to cause me stress, he still thinks I should pull them up on it. Because he is clearly resenting them at the moment and I’m in an awkward position wondering whether it’s worth telling them?
I love them all so much which is why this is so hard. I feel so spineless turning to a forum…
Any advice would be appreciated please.
But please no black & white, toxic ultimatum nonsense such as quietly ghosting my best friends or getting a divorce. None of those things are an option.
