ok so one of my best friends is leaving for 2 months on monday morning.

she is having one last gathering thing with friends on saturday night. we have really grown apart and i really want to see her one last time before she goes. the problem is that i have to do something else that night with another friend who i don’t really like, who i’ve been seeing ALOT of lately and i will be spending alot more time with her in the next month. would it be completely terrible of me to fake sick to get out of my prior comitment to go to this going away party? i feel like i need to see my friend again, just as a goodbye. they are at the exact same time.

Some reason you can’t tell the other person the truth?

Well, if you bail without any warning she won’t even have a chance to get someone else to work with her.

I’m not saying don’t go to your party thing. I just think it’s better to be honest and responsible about it.

Well, assuming they aren’t paying you, they can’t really do much to stop you. But it really looks like you have two options, not counting skipping the party:

1) Lie, say you’re sick, and risk damaging your reputation.
2) Tell the truth about breaking your word, and risk damaging your reputation that way.

I’m inclined to think that you do less damage with option 2, but its your life.
