Advice: A parent empathized with daughter’s preschool teacher who was fired for a “dubious reason.” Several years later, the teacher still calls when she’s having an emergency.
Since that time, she has contacted me sporadically, whenever she finds herself in a difficult emotional situation. We are not friends, and she only contacts me when she’s having an emergency. Then it’s urgent, at weird times and time-consuming. It’s bizarre behavior.
The most recent time this occurred, I hadn’t heard from her in about a year. She asked if we could meet up and I told her that I was really busy preparing for some travel, and that it would have to be scheduled for another time. She ignored this and tried repeatedly to contact me while I was out of town. Amy, I’m a busy professional with a family to care for and my own relationships to manage.
You've already invited her to reschedule, but you've decided to end the relationship instead. If she contacts you saying, “I think you're probably back from your travels, so can you get together?” You can respond: “Sorry, but I'll have to decline. Life is getting in the way.”I’ve been with “Bobby” for two years. We got married last year , but haven’t done the celebration part yet with family and friends. We are planning our celebration and will hold it in four months.
The way you describe this relationship, you are obviously insecure about it. Perhaps you don’t know your husband’s sister very well, or you’ve had limited or negative interactions with her.My suggestions are pointed toward trying to establish a positive relationship moving forward. Consider asking her advice regarding an aspect of the wedding planning. If appropriate, you might offer her a role in the wedding itself.
