The thing that pisses me off the most is that she hasn't even congratulated me herself, nor acknowledged she knows, to me. Yet she seems to like telling everyone like it's the latest gossip. This people, is why I don't have alot to do with half my family -_-
I call your bet and raise you one. I have some family members that I care so little about, I wouldn't even give a damn if they found out I was getting married or having a baby or any of that stuff, because I'm not planning to ever even give them the time of day again.... So what would it matter to me? Nothing. They literally are meaningless to me at this point unless they prove otherwise.
I know that sounds harsh but I just can't give too many chances to people. Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me... Fool me a third time, get lost forever because you are no longer welcome in my life. That's my three strike rule for friends and family. I love people generally but three strikes and you're out of there. Life's too short, from that point on it has to be their idea to rekindle any friendship or anything like that, so if I never hear from them again, it doesn't matter to me at that point, at least I've weeded out the people not worthy of my time that way.
I think it really has to do with that fact I always try and go the extra mile for friends and family and anyone who I want to be there for, so when someone is acting in a way that doesn't deserve that level of respect, I just give them nothing instead because for me its all or nothing, there's no "inbetween", you either get the best of me or none at all

Wow I have no idea where that rant came from lol
