All my success is from stealing from a Redditor.

It’s not a bad thing to feel that way, you’ve only been with the guy 4 months! I personally couldn’t attend this if she wasn’t able to attend, especially if I knew my friend was going to be alone!

If your prospective long term partner (I assume he is?) is going to last with you, I’d say he needs to understand how big a part of your life she is. It is likely going to be a difficult conversation yes, but I feel as though (hopefully) the right dude should understand.

Try not to think about it as ‘coming clean’, you shouldn’t feel bad for feeling this way. You are a loyal friend! There aren’t many people like that these days.

However, if you decide to stay with your plans with your boyfriend, I think your friend will understand that too.

Either way, looks like there’s an awkward conversation ahead!
