I'm currently ignoring an 800 lb gorilla (liquidlight, I'm fairly certain the saying is an 800 lb gorilla, not 500)

.

I threw a bridal shower for a good friend on Saturday and she was a total bitch to me the entire night. Actually had me in tears for much of the evening. As the guest of honor, you aren't supposed to make the hostess cry. For the record, I would like to state that this is the first time since middle school that I've cried over something a girl has said to me.

I'm ignoring this (although I'm venting about it to you guys) because I assume that she's going through extraordinary stress due to her upcoming wedding, and I don't want to fan the fire. She may not even realize just *how* rude she was to me Saturday.

By the time her wedding comes and goes (Aug 11), it will probably have been too long for me to bring it up to her. "Hey, remember how, like a month ago, you were a bitch? Yeah... that sucked." So, I'm pretty much going to have to swallow this for the rest of my life. And yea, she'll be around forever... her fiance' is my husband's very best friend since kindergarten.

But what am I supposed to do? Make her feel shitty just because I do? Two wrongs don't make a right. Wait a year and then make her feel guilty becasue I never said anything? Again, two wrongs don't make a right. So I ignore the 800 lb (or 500 lb) gorilla.
