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

If you go on this weekend trip, you’ll be miserable and will resent the time and money it’s costing you, which will further damage this already broken friendship. Just back out now and save yourself all that. It’ll surely end the friendship forever, and give Lacey and Kate gossip fodder but the friendship is already over. And any hurt feelings Lacey has will be processed as anger, which will be more palatable for Lacey. And she’ll probably enjoy gossiping about you with Kate for years to come. If you can handle that and think it’s worth getting out of spending a weekend with them, then there’s your guide.
