But the real test of afriendship?
Seeing how it holds up when personal wants dont perfectly align.
Some friendships roll with it, others crack under the pressure, and a few?
Well, they combust over group chatsand voice notes longer than an audiobook.
Just ask our Redditor; she learned that the hard way.
Sarah, their longtime friend, and a single mom, apparently saw herself as the friendship gatekeeper.
When she found out she wasnt invited, along with her 2 energetic kiddos, she wasnt just disappointed.
Now, lets be realvacationingwith kids is a very different experience than an adults-only escape.
One involves sleeping in, leisurely brunches, and spontaneous decisions.
Screaming meltdowns and early wake-ups.
Sarah, however, didnt see the issue.
She expected her friends to include her and thekidsbecause theyve always been flexible with her situation.
Because nothing says youre my bestie better than emotional manipulation.
A little bit of honesty?
This kind of emotional blackmail isnt part of a healthy friendship, but just a recipe for resentment.
The very offended Sarah declared she wasnt sure theirfriendshipcould survive this.
After all, real friends dont make each other feel bad for having different wants and needs.
They communicate, they compromise, and most importantly, they respect each others boundaries.
She explained that Lina was very supportive when dealing with Sarahs reaction.
We wanted to know if Sarah had displayed similar behavior in the past.
However, this situation reached an entirely new level that we had never experienced before.
We asked the poster if she had reached out to Sarah since the fallout.
She said that, since receiving Sarahs voice message, she hasnt made any effort to contact her.
I do know that she reached out to another mutual friend of ours.
