Engaged couple's relationship is in escrow
You have the right and responsibility to engage in relationships that are happy, healthy, and balanced. It looks as if your friendship with Cat has run its course. She has resorted to emotional bullying.
You should give her the courtesy of respectfully thanking her for years of friendship, and let her know that you regret the fact that your long personal relationship seems to be ending.
Dear Amy: "Upset" was complaining that her husband had invited two additional guests along on their holiday, but that these guests could not afford to split the cost of housing.
I enjoy your column. I especially appreciate gems like this: "You might be right, but your husband is being kind. Which would you rather be?"

Dear Fan: I like to remind readers (and myself) to try to lead with compassion.
