I am the MOH trying to plan a getaway weekend for my friend’s bachelorette party. As friends, this would be one of the first times we are all going away together, and the last before she gets married. I had first suggested an island getaway, but two of the girls had a problem (time off/finances). In an effort to include everyone, I suggested a shorter weekend, (Fri, Sat, Sun) to Miami. EVERYONE initially agreed in the email reply (5 BMs including myself) except for ONE bridesmaid (she is one of the two who had a problem w/ the island trip). When we spoke in person as a group, she stated she could not take time off from work, and she was also in several other weddings so finances would be a problem. When i offered a weekend trip someplace driving distance where she could meet up with us saturday if we got there friday, she had a problem w/ that saying the bride "wouldnt want some people participating some days, and not all".( i personally think the bride will be too busy having fun to notice one person missing and would be just as happy for her to join saturday..) This BMs idea is to go to NYC for a show, dinner, and a club for the night. Am i being unreasonable in suggesting a weekend getaway that one BM can’t attend? Though it would be nice for everyone to be able to join, i feel that she is being selfish and difficult and the bride will have to sacrifice an awesome weekend away, for a night in the city (which we ALWAYS do since we live right outside of it) all bc of one person. It’s not the bride’s fault that she’s spread herself so thin! She shouldn’t have to settle just bc one of her bridesmaid’s has a destination wedding to attend! Im considering a weekend away anyway and still have a "one night" bachelorette party but this is unfair to everyone who will have to treat the bride twice! (And i’m sure this bridesmaid will still feel sour about not being a part of the weekend trip.) I dont want to exclude anyone but I feel she should politely decline if she is unable to attend for whatever reason and not make it as if i am being unfair when i have suggested other ways for her to be a part (a closer and cheaper weekend where she could join saturday), and not ruin everyone’s fun. Bc she has a problem w/ it, other BM’s who were previously excited and willing to go to Miami, got very quiet and seemed to (reluctantly) back down and settle. One of the BMs is very close to her and has shown signs that she would also support her and not join if we did a weekend away. This would really upset the bride to not have these two important people there (one is her cousin and the other a best friend). Should i get rid of the whole idea and just do the one night in the city that everyone could attend?(Note: everyone would NOT be able to attend bc the bride’s sister is 20 and would not be able to party in NYC. In Miami at least we have a hotel room to party, and the beach. Plus she could stay in the hotel one night that we go out) Should we have (essentially) two celebrations? or simply tell the one BM that its too bad she cant join but this is what we’re doing? I dont want to rock the boat bc we still have a shower and the wedding to deal with and aside from that i will be seeing her in the future and dont want any hard feelings. SN: this would be a surprise for the bride so she has no idea that there is this issue, as i know she would want to keep everyone happy and just "settle". I just want my friend to have a really memorable bachelorette weekend!! This BM claims the bride is "simple" and would really enjoy a broadway show and night out as it would be meaningful…. though i know she isn’t an extravagant girl, this is her bachelorette party! we could take her to see a show for her birthday!
Thanks for the varied input! to those who think i am selfish, it was the bride who expressed that she would really enjoy a weekend if possible. as her MOH im just trying navigate & make it happen for her the surprise lies in the where & when but she is aware. her younger sister agreed to join if she could bring a friend/cousin to keep her company for things she knws she cant attend. we would not "leave"her in a hotel rm all day. she would be w/ us for the beach, dining, walking around,nails, etc.

i am not forcing an expensive vaca but merely gave an idea for a fun weekend that all 5 had agreed to cost and time off as a group (except her). we have scaled back to accommodate thus far, but i’m looking for what is most fun for my friend and still works for the majority 5/6 NOT whats convenient for ONE. The bride’s parents feel we should have a very low key one night to please her, and still go away, but i think i will go w/ a local weekend to avoid as much conflict as possible. s

I’m so angry and confused at this moment. I don’t know what to think and how to act….

My story started 2 months ago….We started as friends (through mutual friends), and than it grew into romantic relationship. He was the first to initiate our conversations and first interactions. He was texting me all the time, we would spent hours talking on-line about different things: music, relationships, books, anything. Though I knew him before I had never thought of him as a potential boyfriend or anything….When we went on a first date he was nervous, couldn’t look into my eyes, was trying to holkd my hand and kiss it. I was not much into him at all. I just wanted to see how it would go, I didn’t want to rush things in order not to suffer in the future (I was not sure about his intensions). We continued seeing each other. Our first night was amazing (he made it special). The next morning I left him with the fear that this is it..he got what he wanted and he is not gonna call me back. (I had such experience in the past)….but he did call me, he wanted to have lunch with me…:))) Our relationship continued to develop….we spent great getaway weekend together….then I think I started noticing signs of him becoming more distant…his text messages became more casual such as “Good morning”, “How are you?” “How’s work?” “How was your day?”…Plus he stopped making attempts to see me, explaining that his work schedule became very crazy. Well, we don’t see each other often because of work and school schedule… plus we live far from each other.But it all started he could drive all the way to my place to go for a drink or coffee even if it was late….I gave it few days to see how it goes…he was still texting me…I decided to make a first step and I asked him out on Sat. He was very anxious about it. We had a great time, visiting different places…we spent night together…He was kissing me and holding me in his hands..then he became serious for a moment, looked into my eyes and told me that he thinks he loves me. I thought I would die hearing these words… I didn’t sau anything..I just started kissing him like crazy..I was very happy to hear it…cause I’m falling for this guy and I want us to work out…. So Sunday came…in the evening I texted me that I miss him so much, he texted me back smth. like ” you are my darling”….Honestly I expected him to drive to my place even if it was late…Not a single text came on Monday, today is Tuesday…and I’m getting frustrated….I don’t know what to think…Was I right thinking that he started loosing his interest or is there anything going on in his life that prevents him from getting in touch with me… I don’t want to text him first..I feel that it should come from him plus these articles that say that a girl should always leave a room for a guy to chase after her….I would appreciate any kind of advice…I was talking to one of my guy friends and he told me that he got what he wanted and that’s it now…..if that’s the case why would he continue seeing me after we had sex, why would he make these small gifts, why would he hold my hand….Plz. help!!!!

There is this guy I have been seeing. I really don’t even know if he considers me as his g/f or not. He sings and tries to cheer me up when he sees that I am down (I didn’t tell him, he just noticed). We have kissed a couple times. It was a great feeling between us! He has given me a lot of hugs. We haven’t been on any dates (going to movies, etc) though. We have known each other for almost 10 months. He has disappointed me a couple times, but he tells me he’s sorry and he also told me that "I will never let me down seriously." He always tries to get my attention. He always teases me and plays around (messing with me). He makes me feels really happy. He tells me he wants to go to a getaway weekend with me only. He is a very gentlemen-like person and he has his sides also. He is both types when he is with me. He tells me he is comfortable when he is with me. He in a way seems to be a very special guy, but still I am confused sometimes.
I do have special deep feelings for him. It’s just I sometimes wonders if he really loves me. Sometimes on weekend, I called him, he won’t respond until the next week. or I might call and he says he will call back but never did and he apologizes to me the next time I see him. Please tell me if this is something I should be patient and hold on to. I feel confused right now. Please help me see what I should do. Does he love me? What is he thinking? He tells me something, but it doesn’t seem that he will do what he says. He is sometime very inconsistent. He is a Gemini by the way. Please help me see through with this guy!!

He did ask me if we can go to lunch, but we don’t live near each other and we both have our own things to do, so we haven’t had a chance to be together like a date type. I do want to go out with him, it just our schedule of work and school are conflicting most of the time.
He doesn’t have a girlfriend. I always asked him and he always confirm by looking straight into my eyes and telling me that he doesn’t have a girlfriend.

Actually, he has asked me out a couple time, but at the last minute, I had something or was stuck in something and I couldn’t go. I apologize to him and he said he understands. I guess I let him down those times too, but I really didn’t meant to let him down. He is totally cool with it though! He asked me to go with him to a Dave Matthew’s Concert, but I couldn’t go at the last minute and so he went with his friends.

We are planning a much needed 2 day getaway in October. Our child will be 7 months old by then. Should we take her with us or leave her with relatives? I feel like I would miss her terribly, but my wife thinks that is defeating the purpose of the "getaway" weekend. Any thoughts?
