This isn't simple, but it's kind of annoying to me.
Friend mentions in an email that she is having a "girls trip" to a place north of where she lives. I ask about it.
It's the annual memorial trip that they (me being included) do to celebrate a friend's birthday. Except friend is dead...passed, whatever. I find it strangely morbid, and was kind of fading on even attending. BUT, last year I attended, the year before I did too. This year? Not so much an invite at all.
I mean...I might have declined, but an invite would've been nice.
I am not going to make an issue of it, but my feel bads are certainly hurt. I kind of want to just let her sit in email hell for a few days...though that is rude.
I don't really care at this moment.
Re: WWYD?
That is weird. You would think that if you had been intentionally excluded, though, that she wouldn't have mentioned to you that she is going. I would have to say something, just for the sake of curiosity.
I just a friendly gal looking for options.
If I had EVER fathomed doing something silly like this to her...she would be OUTRAGED. For reals.
I want to email her something like "You can validate your actions all you want, it is hurtful".
Maybe I should just ignore that whole issue? I don't think I can...so silly, right?
I know how this works, and it makes me sad.
Dear Crappy Friend,
Next time I would like to be included in the decision about it being too far of a drive for me or not.
Sincerely,
O-Face of Awesomeness

But on the other hand, if you are only going to say no, what is the point in making sure she asks you?
but i agree with the person who said sit and think about it for a bit before doing anything, and then think about if this is even a friendship worth continuing on with.
what a weirdo. even if you've ever said no (even though you said you haven't said no before), i think it's wrong for someone to assume you would say no, or even use that as an excuse to exclude you.
do you think you might have made someone think that you were not interested in going to this thing, and word got back to her about it?
I haven't emailed her anything. I will get back to her tomorrow. I don't want to worry about it right now...what to say.
