    I booked a holiday for me and my boyfriend and foolishly i booked the return flight early in the day so that i could be home for a friends birthday. Since then ive falling out with said friend who it turns out has no consideration for me and basically wouldnt put me or how i feel first ever. Now I am gonna miss out on a days holidays and all for her and i feel so mad at myself because I put her before me and my boyfriend, why was i so bloody stupid. I am fuming with myself i just wanna punch something.

    What's done is done I'm afraid. All you can do is learn from it and not put people like that first again.

    Just punch a pillow or go running to get the anger out! :)

    ah its not too bad, OP, if I were you if its sparing, use the money you would have used for the extra night on an evening in, get a take away, glass of wine with your bf, rent a film and enjoy it relaxing after travelling home. You booked the flight early during a time when the relationship with your friend was standing, so it wasnt silly or a waste then. these things happen, but at least your not financially put out. dont waste another thought on it, enjoy your holiday. there really isnt much difference in one day

    I'm sorry about your friend, but the holiday situation itself isn't worth loosing sleep over. If it's any consolation the last day of a holiday is usually a bit of a waste even if the flight is later in the day. There's too much fussing about checking out, finding somewhere to leave your luggage, constantly watching the clock etc to enjoy the day properly.

    OP your reaction is a bit dramatic. A days holiday is not a big deal in the bigger scheme of things, pity to lose a friendship though. If there is no way of getting back on track that's unfortunate, but a days holiday is not the end of the world.

    I think it's admirable to keep friends at the same level as your partner, in terms of importance. This was obviously just a specific person who wasn't worth it. A days holiday is not that big of a deal, just make sure you don't spend the entire holiday thinking about what could have been. That'll just ruin it

    You sound like a nice, decent person who is a good friend.
    Some woman get a boyfriend or husband and they become what I call we - we's
    we went here, we went there and you can't see me with out him.
    Or once they have a man they no longer need there friends.
    Let this friend off as they did not deserve your friendship.

    Most of us are tired when coming back from holidays so you may enjoy the chance of a few hours or a night to chill out.
    Also use the money you would have spent on her to get something nice on your holiday or for a nice meal out at some stage.

    I mean no offence - this is hardly a "personal issue".
    Spend the rest of the day treating yourself closer to home while being grateful that you can afford a holiday, have friends, don't have crippling anxiety, dying relative, etc.

    I really don't know what advice we can give you at this stage :/


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 461 ✭✭MadMardegan


    Hind sight is always 20/20 Op, you couldn't have known things would turn out that way.

    Just enjoy your holiday with your boyfriend and be glad you saw your friends true colours.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,695 ✭✭✭December2012


    Are you mad at yourself for your behaviours in the downfall of the friendship?

    I like getting home early in the day from holidays. Pain in the ass getting up early but when you're home you have the whole day to unwind, get a wash on, unpack etc.

    Every cloud has a silver lining.

    In a world where people have so many "real" issues it shows a level of immaturity on the part of the OP to even consider posting this as a personal issue on an Internet rom let alone actually starting a bread about it.

    One of the most blizzard threads I have seen n m ime on Boards.ie.

    Sorry OP but I think this thread should be closed.

    No backseat Modding.

    And if you have no advice to give the OP, refrain from criticising. Personal issues, big and small, are welcome to this forum for advice. If you have a problem with a post, report it.
