Reply To: Fading Friends, Feeling Disconnected, Do I go on this trip?

It sounds like some of these friendships and this friend group has run its course. That’s okay, you don’t have to force it. People change a lot in their 20s as they figure out who they are, what they value, what they want out of life. And yes, marriage and babies can change friendships, too.

If this were me, I’d prob have already slow faded this friendship and friend group. My decision to go to this bachelorette party or not would hinge on what kind of friendship I wanted moving forward. If you’re fine ending the friendship entirely, sure, back out. It’s not the end of the world if you do and it doesn’t make you a bad person — from what’s written, you don’t like these women anymore. If you’d like to stay friendly in the future, I’d go on this trip and fade out after.
