Last month I went on vacation to Orlando/Daytona Beach Florida, In brief of my vacation, I along with my cousin & her 2 friends from work, had a 7 days & nights of fun.
I had invited one of my closest friend to go, she agreed, however, she mentioned to me that financially it would be hard, so I told her that I would help her out so she can come to florida & have fun with us (which I did)
As we all arrived our first night wasnt to bad, the second day/night was special since we were celebrating my 40th birthday All was going great we all were getting along. However, my friend newly rebounded from her last relationship, kept getting phone calls from her current boyfriend, he would call her every 30 to 40 min, asking her what she was doing, & where is she going... etc. I was getting really ticked because, she hardly spoke to my cousin & her friends, when her b/f would call she would go to another area for privacy & be gone about 20 min at a time.
Here is the kicker, third night my friend was "excited" that we were going to hang out at one of the bars on the beach "Mai Tai". However, before we even made it to the bar, she got a phone call, yup, her man again. After she was done with the call, she no longer wanted to go, her attitude completely changed, she wasnt talking at all to no one, including me. she said she rather stay in the room. The next morning the attitude continued, we all talked to her & asked her to hang out with us, she refused & was in her pj's all day. I wasnt going to have her ruin my vacation, if she wanted to stay, then I let her! I had enough of her crap, even my cousin was pissed at her, because she made a reservations for all of us for dinner on a boat cruise & she told her that she wasnt going & not to include her in any activities, I was vivid. So I told her once again whats going on??? She told me that she missed her b/f & would rather not do anything because it not right for her to have fun while he's at home/working. Huh?? So I told her why did you even come or even change your return date (to stay later)? All she said was I dont Know.When we took her to the airport, she did not say one word, its like she wasnt even there, I would talk to her & all i would get is one word replies (I gave up )
Just to give you an insight, I did help her out financially (for the trip), my cousin has a timeshare, so none of us paid for the room, we all split the cost of the car rental & food that we kept in the fridge,(not including my friend), but she ate some of the food.
When she got out of the car (at the airport), she DID NOT say Thank you to my cousin, didnt say sh!t to me, just ok I'll call you.
As I got back in the car I felt humiliated, embarrased, I was seriously pissed off. The bad thing was my cousin mentioned to me that in future trips not to invite her. There was NO gratitude from her. We have been friends for a long time, I have seen her ups & downs, when she ended her last relationship, she had this new boyfriend 2 weeks later. (I told her I think its too soon - but thats on her)
Since the trip she hasnt called me. I dont think that I'll call her. It has nothing to do with what I did for her, it more of where is your brains to show how much you appreciate what someone has done for you. Its too bad, because I dont let go of friends that easy, unless there is no hope to fix. But in this case, her world is around her man. She's immature. I believe she probably doesn't see anything wrong. She was my concert/roadtrip buddy.
After we dropped her off at the airport we still had 3 more days to PARTY and to really enjoy our days in Orlando/Daytona Breach ;D ;D
ok I just needed to vent
