Dear Zane, Please if you decide to respond to this email please keep me anonymous. Im going to get straight to the point. My best friend will be getting married in a couple weeks and this should be the happiest time of her life, but I have a feeling Im faced with a decision that may change all of that. Ive been unemployed for the last 5 months actively looking for a job the whole time. I went on a couple interviews but no call backs. I went on an interview yesterday and got the job. They asked me if there were any days that I couldnt work and I told them the day of her wedding besides that my availability is open. She then began to tell me that would be an issue because I have to go through a 7 week paid training and I cant miss any days. So heres my issue I love my best friend to death and I dont want to hurt her. If I dont accept this job I dont know when I may get another one. I forgot to add that I have 2 kids to take care of and the fact that their dad has been taking care of us for the last 5 months all by himself. I dont want to hurt my friend but Should I tell my friend that I cant be in her wedding? or should I turn down the job? Sincerely, Confused Maid of Honor MY RESPONSE: This is tough but you need to choose your children and their welfare over attending her wedding. This is a situation that cannot be avoided and what happens after the wedding when you cannot provide for your kids? Maybe you can be there for her outside of that and even attend the reception or after party if you can. Please do not turn down that job. Things do not always happen how we want them to happen and sometimes we have to make tough choices. If she is a true friend who has watched you struggle, she will understand. As for what others might think or say, do not allow that to consume you. Good luck in your decision.
