21. Demoted
I was MOH (maid of honor) for a wedding. I had recently finished grad school and writing my license exam. When I found out I had not passed my first section, I told her I would need to prioritize my career, she demoted me to bridesmaid and explained “It was just a position”.
I learned to find out that she became very controlling with high expectations from her bridesmaids. We met up again post-wedding to patch things up and come to an understanding about what happened. She said, “If I had to do it again, I wouldn’t change a thing”.
Let’s just say that friendship dissolved quickly after that.
