Dear Annie: I’m tired of including my best friend in my life when most of the time she doesn’t show

Two distinct interpersonal conflicts are highlighted. One individual expresses frustration toward a best friend who frequently cancels plans, leading to feelings of foolishness when extending invitations. Simultaneously, another reader reports significant marital tension caused by a husband's resentment regarding the time spent with grandchildren. These disagreements over family involvement have further strained an already troubled relationship, illustrating a range of emotional distress stemming from inconsistent friendships and conflicting priorities within a marriage.
