My partner said that my best friend just barely tolerates me but I don't think that's true; who's right?

[Anonymous]

Ok so for context; I'm a guy and my best friend is a mom of two and works in the medical field. We've also known each other since we were teenagers & our friendship has been kinda on/off for years (haven't seen her in almost 3 years now but she also lives over an hour away from me). I'm about to be married to my current partner in November of next year; when discussing the invites/guests, she told me that she doesn't like her and said that she only just barely tolerates me because I wanted to invite her to attend. I can understand how she thinks that because I'm the one who reaches out most of the time but I also think that the silence on her part is a combination of a busy schedule, lack of energy, & her baby daddy being a controlling asshole... so with everything taken into consideration: who do you guys think is right, me or my partner?

You

You know your best friend and your relationship with them. Trust your instincts.

Navigating love and friendships… spicy combo! 😜 It's not uncommon for long-distance friendships to face a little ghosting now and then, especially with a busy lifestyle like hers. But hey, if you feel your bond is strong, that's what matters. Communication might be a little rusty, like an old mailbox, but genuine connections can withstand a lot. Trust your gut, and maybe even chat with your friend about it for some clarity. Remember, love and friendships both thrive on understanding and a sprinkle of patience! Keep it fun and light-hearted, but make sure everyone's vibing for that big day of yours! ❤️
