Gabby, sweetheart, i hope you know how much i admire and respect you...so please if you do read this in time take what i have into consideration and dont think this is a strike at you in any way....
First of all, you are there for YOUR husband...not her. She is not your husband...nor your best friend in elementary school. I know it hurts when friends make us feel bad or let us down but remember..this isnt the playground. Your a strong talented individual...who is bright witty and smart and beautiful on the inside and outside. Take this as a grain of salt dear. She is one friend. You can get plenty of others. And just remember ....as my messed up mother always said...kill them with kindness. Be nice to her....dont suck up to her...but nod your head and say hello nice to see you...and be done with it....when it comes time to make conversation talk to your husband...ask how things are going with them...show them that your the adult and refuse to act like a child...or play childish games...i feel so strongly about this because my mother did the same thing with her neighbors...and they played mind games with each other and i (at 17/18 years old) watched them and kept repeating to my mother as she was raging said the same things im saying to you. Your husband is your best friend...and treat him that way....be there for him because he wants you there show that your proud of him...and dont sit seperate ...dont give them that satisfaction that they have you looking to see if you could switch tables....girlfriend you can handle one easy night at their table..and if they say something rude or whatever dont acknowledge them at all....you have that power..and when they see that you wont play their little games to add drama to their lives then they will stop.....good luck and i hope you read this in time....let us know how it goes and my heart is with you.
love, inny
