I don't really know why she was so rude. She was rude with basically everybody. I'm like a class clown, so I would just laugh at her rudeness. Sometimes she was just over-the-top rude and for some reason I just found it really funny - like she was a caricature of herself or something, I don't know. We used to go out clubbing together (not baby seal clubbing!) and she was so rude to the guys who tried to hit on us. It's like we'd have a couple of real rico suave dudes come up to us and start a chat and she'd be all rude and I'd sit there laughing like a moron.
She is a former friend ... why, you ask??? Well, when I was going to get married I wanted a simple to-do ... just my kids to walk me down the aisle to meet up with my husband. She insisted that since she was my "best friend" I needed to have her in my wedding as my maid of honor. I agreed, like a dummy. But since I have more than one friend, I had to ask others to be bridesmaids so as not to hurt anybody's feelings.
I began the task of looking for dresses for my attendants and she flipped out. She told me she was supposed to pick out her own dress and I was supposed to pay for it. We argued a little (because I knew she was wrong) and I pulled a bunch of articles from bridal mags on who pays for what and sent them to her. She called me when she received them and cussed me out, a little something like this: "F*** you! F*** your wedding! F*** your dresses!" I told her that if she couldn't afford the dress all she would have had to do was tell me and I would have probably helped her out. I also told her that whenever she wanted to apologize for her rudeness, I would forgive her and we would still be friends and we would put this behind us. All she could muster up was a healthy "F*** YOU!!!"
So ... I got married without her in my wedding, but with bridesmaids that I originally did not want. Nobody else hassled me about gowns or anything!

Sometimes I do. I once watched a friend go from a very strong male to a completely spineless worm by one Girlzilla. Watching him put the pieces back together after she tossed him was heart wrenching.

UGH! I watched two friends go through this in college....at the hands of the SAME woman! Probably why to this day I have a healthy zero tolerance policy for men or women that pull that kind of crap.
my favorite ----the same women that regularly wipe their muddy feet on guys and then ask everybody, saying, what is wrong with these guys dont they have any backbone? if you would get your muddy feet back on the floor they would not need so much backbone. somebody points a 357 magnum divorce at my head and is asking me (an unarmed man) about my backbone and lack of courage ---- now that is a kick in the head. guys---- talk to the lawyer b4 the marriage not after.
on this point OP you are right--- guys need to stop giving away their power.

Likewise, the reason why I seek strong minded traditional men who aren't afraid to tell me to **** when I push a little too far.
You of all people should know about having platonic male friends.
