This part made me gasp out loud (seriously). She's angry at both of you when she never had a commitment to actually complete the task? And then, to be worse, she's upset because you didn't fail with her? That is really disingenuous. Not cool! She has no right to be upset when she never actually committed in the first place.

And, to compare it to leaving children behind just doesn't even make sense. Like you said, you wouldn't even take your children on such a training ride. The logic makes no sense.

And she is comparing herself to a child? HUH?

I should add - she should be thrilled that you and your other friend are making good progress towards a great goal, not being upset because you didn't quit on it and "stick together."

WOW.
