Being angry and bitter are futile, cause they won't have any impact on your friend or make her suddenly appreciate all the things you have done. If she suddenly seems "holier than thou" then say alhamdulillah and act in the way that is in accordance with Islam.
Whatever she did before marriage is between her and Allah. Allahu Alim...she may be better than all of us in so many other ways.
Its really hard when people don't acknowledge our efforts  , but its also a lesson in humility and it reminds us that we should do things ONLY for the sake of Allah, not for any recognition or praise. When we do things for the sake of Allah the outcome is of less importance.
Mash'Allah it was great that you did so much for her and may Allah reward you for your good. |
That was nicely said, masha'Allah. Thats what I try to tell myself, but the angry keeps rising up. I guess all I can do, is do what makes me happy, and what makes Allah happy.
But again, as LeageEagle said, piety can be soooo boring sometimes.
