Seems much ado about nothing all around.
I decided to let Kathy bring the friend but when I asked the limo company, which was owned by my cousin’s uncle, they said it would cost much more for three. And then my cousin accused me of trying to add more people and it got a little crazy.

Kathy has not seen me since that concert and has made it clear by not answering e-mail unless she has to that she does not wish to be friends. She has been completely unavailable.
As a matter of fact, another event is coming up and she is taking this other friend to it. And she knows I’m going too but she that doesn’t seem to matter to her.
This of course doesn’t say much about Kathy as a person. I feel should have understood why her friend couldn’t get in on the original limo deal. Or she could have said they would pay the difference in cost for her to go, or she could have even decided not to go with me at all. She didn’t give me any money until I saw her the day of the show.
But, I wish I had told my friend who set up the limo that we would pay more and to include Kathy’s friend - if so we might all be friends today. Or at least Kathy wouldn’t hate me.
My advice to anyone in this situation - no matter what - let the other person’s friend come along - it may work out or it may not - but if you don’t let them come with you - it definitely will not end happily!
I wish there was something I could do to fix it but I think it’s over.
Huh - I was thinking that you dodged a bullet there - Kathy sounds a bit like it’s her way or the highway, and you unwittingly chose “Highway” when you decided not to do whatever she wanted. I don’t think you lost a good friendship there; I think you just shortened a friendship where Kathy would use you until she got tired of you.
Kathy probably thinks you were making a lame excuse to tell her no. Or maybe she didn’t have as great a time as you thought. Sounds lame though. But don’t let that take away from the good time you had. Fuck her amirite?
Count your blessings. You don’t need a friend like that.
