Reasons that ruin good friendships.

We were all celebrating the birth of my only sister's son. It was her first. She was younger sister and I had already had one child, a girl. Her son was about four hours old and needed a diaper change badly. My sister was asleep, her husband was out of the room and no one else was available so I change his diaper. You would have thought I cut off his arm. She and her husband said I ruined the new birth experience for both of them. This child is now 28 and my sister has only spoken to me at the funeral of our mother since his birth. That was 12 years ago and not another word. I send cards, but she is still ignoring me.

We were friends for like, two years when it happened. I was traveling with her and her family, and at first it was fine.
She had naturally straight hair, but still used a straightener everyday. She once used it again then tossed it in her luggage. She then asked me to pick something in it, while she was applying make-up in the bathroom. I did not see the straightener, burnt my whole palm. I asked her to leave the bathroom, so i could put some water on my hand. She let me , then push me away because she needed the mirror ( which was up the sink). I could not close my hand for the whole evening and night. She also hit me in the ribs because i was snorring while sleeping. She also said i'll be less ugly if i did something with my eyebrows. Asked me to give her some of my clothes , because it'll fit her better. I don't miss this stupid giant red flag

Well, I have many different reasons with many different persons over the years. My dad was not the most present while he was still married to my mom, but after divorce, he kinda faded from my life, till mom took me to a different country, to witch he came a year later. That did not stop him from demanding mom pay him for taking me to a different country (a sum that our appartment got sold for). And all that did not stop me from hoping he will change. Over the years I tried to intoduce him to my boyfriend, he said that would be a waste of time as I will date many others, and he will meet my man at our wedding, while crying about his step son not finding a girl... But the last straw was him missing my 35th birthday for a 1 year birthday of his step grandkids. And then asking why I do not want him to "make it up to me with a nice gift" 2 years later. I just told him I do not want him in my life anymore, as he only breaks my heart and uses me for his own benefits. He was not at my wedding, and did not get to walk me.

We and our cousins really get along well and we often take trips together. Every time one of us wants to take a trip we let the group know if other party could join then we go together or the original party proceeds with the trip. We made this pact because each of us might have different bucket list and budget constraints and none of us should waste the holidays coz other party couldn't travel.
So recently we have a long weekend coming up and we suggested travel to a near by place which can be travelled leisurely in 3 days. They said they are up for it but not on those dates and also they want to go to some place with a pool first and then in the next iteration we can cover this place. We suggested since a long weekend coming up it would be idle to trave to this first and locally we can go to pool on any following weekends. They said 'since we have a toddler 3 days trip is not idle for us at this point, you guys proceed' so we did our bookings. 5 days later they post in the group..."hey we are going away for a holiday trip this month end" guess what ?it is on the same weekend that we originally asked and it is more than 3 days. They didn't mention anything about it when we were originally discussing the plans. The message was more of a FYI. We were obviously hurt by this and this kind of made it awkward between us and for sure things wouldn't be as smooth as it once was. Too bad when everything is going smooth one has to cause drama that disrupts the whole vibe.

Not getting in to Stanford. Chances were I wouldn't get in. Now I'm in one of my dream colleges, all the way in the UK.
