Whats The Best Way To Do This ?
10 Answers
I have a good friend who has lots of other friends. I like most of them but one in particular I do not care for as she is very cutting.
My friend and I arranged to go to the theatre and I said were we going alone and she said she would ask some of the others, by that I thought she meant the two other friends of ours, but she asked them and this other woman. I have sent her a message to say I have changed my mind and I wont be going.
I have been unwell of late with stress and I know she will want to know why I have cancelled. Do I tell her the truth ? She wont have any thing said about any of her friends.

She might be upset that you...

She might be upset that you don't like her friend, but at least will understand (hopefully) that you tried to get along with her, but couldn't make it work.
