Wait.

If you could just hold on one second.

If everyone could just hold on for one second, this this won't take long.

That's just kind of a thing you say.

It's not you're not realistic.

Hello?

Hey oracle.

Thanks for the last minute.

Sash.

Actually, let me just put my airpods in.

Sorry guys.

Just think of the open bar.

We're gonna get there soon.

I know the ceremony is the worst part.

Hold on.

Okay, can you hear me?

I feel like my friend is marrying the wrong person.

What should I do?

Are you at the wedding right now?

Yeah, I'm here at the wedding.

They just they just asked for objections, wow.

Okay, cutting it pretty close.

I got really busy, you know, and I'm permanently dislodged from time after the last two years.

It just makes no sense to me.

No judgment, totally get it.

So let's dive in so you can make this decision with clarity.

First and foremost, I want to rule out that you may be projecting your past relationship trauma to this couple.

Have you journal about this concern to get to the root of why you have it?

Uh, 1 2nd.

1 2nd.

Okay.

Done.

I don't think I'm unconsciously projecting my own past betrayals or inner wounds onto them.

The red flags that I'm noticing.

They're very real wonderful.

Okay, next, let's imagine the outcomes.

What happens if you say something versus what happens if you don't.

So let's imagine that you don't say anything and that your worst fears come true.

Whether you're your fears are that your friend's spouse is unfaithful, dishonest or abusive?

How will you feel down the line if you never said anything if they have Children together and this happens?

Oh no.

However, if you say something, it may also end the friendship depending on how open your friend is to hearing this kind of criticism.

She could absolutely choose her partner over continuing to be in a relationship with, you know?

So before you decide, ask yourself which risk is worth taking.

Okay, so what do I do if your friend is in an abusive relationship, it can take victims an average of seven times before leaving for good.

Perhaps you want to protect the friendship to ensure she has a system of support.

Okay, well he's definitely a dick bag, but I don't think he's necessarily abusive.

Well, if you do decide to purchase this conversation with your friend, definitely do so in a safe, non intimidating setting where you can speak one on one, so probably not shouting in the middle of the ceremony.

Okay, great.

Cool, cool.

Remember use your eye messages to remove any judgment or blame from your language.

Okay, I will do that.

And also you don't have to make this decision right now.

You can put a bow on it and continue to observe and support your friend with solutions way to express your concern when the time is right or when your opinion is asked for.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Okay.

Okay.

I have so much clarity around this issue now and what to do.

Thank you so much A wise oracle anytime.
