It’s never fun meeting people who have wronged you in the past.

And it can be especially uncomfortable when you have to socialize with them in places where everyone should be having fun…

Like a wedding!

So I can understand why this woman doesn’t want to have anything to do with this situation.

But is she doing something wrong?

Check out her story and tell us what you think.

“My cousin and I have been very close throughout our lives.

Eventually she became friends with someone (I’ll call her Emily) who I had known for a long time before meeting her and who I never saw eye to eye with (I didn’t trust her, didn’t like her, didn’t want to be around her), which is fine.

Hey, it’s your life…

You can be friends with anyone you want to be friends with, regardless of whether you like the person or not.

However, it became a huge problem when my cousin Emily revealed extremely personal information about me during one of the worst times of my life.

Eventually, Emily told a number of our mutual friends private details of my life that I didn’t want to share with anyone.

I was devastated and felt betrayed that my cousin had betrayed my trust like that. We didn’t speak to each other for a whole year.

She prevailed.

When I was ready to mend my relationship with my cousin, I decided never to be in the same room with Emily again.

My cousin and Emily also had an argument about it, but years later they became friends again.

Surprise, Emily messed with her again and they fought again. They haven’t spoken to each other in about three years.

My cousin got engaged about two months ago and is getting married in October.

She mentioned to me that she was thinking about inviting Emily.

I told her it was her wedding and she could invite whoever she wanted. But I also reminded her how important Emily was to me and that I meant it when I said I would never be in the same room with her again.

Well, Emily was invited and I only found out two days ago.

She agreed 2-3 weeks ago and my family kept it a secret from me so that my cousin could “tell me herself when it fit into her travel schedule.”

I told you…

Okay, she’s planning a wedding and maybe awkward conversations aren’t at the top of her to-do list, but I figured it out anyway.

Again, she can invite whoever she wants to her wedding, but I have set very clear and strict boundaries with Emily.

I’ve decided to compromise: I’ll go to the wedding, celebrate with my cousin for a while, but leave a few hours early so I don’t have to spend more time than necessary in the same room as Emily (small wedding, small venue).

My cousin is furious about my decision, has sent me scathing and abusive text messages, and subsequently blocked me on all platforms.

At this point, I don’t even know if I’m invited to the wedding.

What’s the big deal?

I don’t think it’s a big problem to leave early and I think my decision is a fair compromise for both of us.

I’m willing to give in, but I’m not willing to break. I really don’t hold any grudges against Emily.

I’ve moved on from the situation and I hope she’s living a happy and fulfilling life, but she reminds me of all those feelings of betrayal and hurt, and this whole situation is bringing up new feelings of betrayal and hurt, and I really don’t think I should completely throw out the line I’ve drawn between me and her.

“Is that ok?”

Let’s see what people on Reddit had to say.

A reader said she was NTA.

Another person agreed.

This Reddit user chimed in.

Another person shared their thoughts.

And this person did it.

Sometimes you just have to get out early…
