Dear Ama,
Ever since you walked down the aisle some 15 months ago, I have noticed some changes in your attitude. Particularly, the manner in which you relate with us (your single/unmarried friends). Interestingly, I am not the only one who has seen these changes. Every girl in the group agrees with my observation including quiet Aba.
You are no longer as fun to be with. Every joke we crack in your presence is met by a piece of advice from you. Seriously, most of us do not enjoy your friendship anymore and the way you turn down our requests is becoming so annoying.
“Let’s go and dance,”
“I must go and prepare dinner,” you respond.
“Can we hang out at the movies,”
“I need to go pick hubby’s clothes from the laundry,” you reply.
“Do you want to attend her wedding,”
“This weekend is tight. The kids need to be picked up from their grandparents. I’m sorry. I’ll make it up to you,”
Excuses. Excuses. You now see the reason most of us keep our distance?
Yes, I know I’m single and I have single people’s problems. My priorities may be my career, my hair and clothes and oh, having as much fun as possible before I ‘settle down.’ Thank you for reminding me of that every time.
We don’t need you as an advisor (I’m speaking on behalf of the other girls) just because you have said some vows at the altar.
Hahaha.
Your attitude these days make me laugh. I laugh at you, at us and what our friendship has become. The sham we’ve been calling a friendship. I’m not bitter. No. But I’ve advised myself and I’m calling it quits. You can break the news to your family or keep it to yourself.
Let me leave you so you go take care of your matrimonial home since, we, the single ones do not have much to do. 😒
Your once-best-friend,
Joy
