My coworker and I had working together in a small office for 6 years. We have become friends but in the beginning I explained to her that I do my do well with girl friend due to the fact they ask a lot and I was newly married and trying to have a baby.I wanted to make it clear that I was not the type to go out or hang out after work. She understood. Now years later she got engaged and asked me to be her Matron of Honor.i was so happy for her that I agreed immediately. We started working on everything and because I'm a very orderly person she asked me to handle everything the day of since I have had a wedding myself. But now that we work together and are planning this wedding our friendship has dwindle and affecting my work and I'm renting her. I'm also making some of her decorations and when we have a bite to at work I feel like she is using me for free labor. I would like to withdraw from her bridal party but how do I say this and keep our professional relationship intact?

Welcome to PC. You'll find lots of support here. That's really tricky. How far out is the wedding? I'm not sure how you could back out now and not hurt the professional relationship. Are you close enough to share these feelings with her?

Hello honor: The short answer here is, at least from my perspective, I don't think you do (withdraw that is) especially if you want to preserve your working relationship with this person. That simply won't happen, I don't believe.
 My recommendation is to just do what you have to do to get through this & view it as a lesson learned for the future.  I see this is your first post here on PC. So...  to PsychCentral… from the Skeezyks!  May the time you spend here be of benefit.  PsychCentral is a great place to get information as well as support for mental health issues. The more you post, & reply to other members’ posts, the more a part of the community you will become.  Plus there are social groups you can join & chat rooms where you’ll be able to connect with other PC members in real time (once your first 5 posts have been reviewed & approved.) Lots of great stuff! So please keep posting!

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
