NWR- they used to be my friends

this post is not wedding realated!

I had a close group of friends from youth group all through high school.  Mostly it was me, my best friend and a group of guys that would all hang out.  I stopped going to yuoth group in grade 12 becuase the new pastor was a moron and I couldn't stand him.  I came back every so often but never really felt welcome.  Then after high school I didn't really see my guy friends anymore and they stopped talking to me online.  I was upset because I thought we were such good friends but they deleted me from Facebook (not a big deal, I know) and wouldn't talk to me.  Some of them remained chummy with my best friend, though...

A tiny part of me is still hurt by what happened but I'm not sure if it's worht looking into...meaning, should I ask them if I did something that offended them.  2 of them are married, I'm almost married so I feel like it;s not really approporate to try rebuilding these friendships. 

what do you think?

    After high school, people naturally drift in different directions, no matter how close they are.  It happens.  Some of my closest friends have been men, so I know where you are coming from.

    As far as attempting to re-connect with them, I would say no.  Some women are funny about men having women as friends, and with you being "almost married" and them married, it can be sticky.  

    Stage brought up a really good point about you quitting the group too - they may have thought you were rejecting everything they believed/believe in.

    You don't have to stay friends with everyone you were ever friends with in your life. I have several people that I was semi-decent friends with in highschool that I just don't have anything in common with anymore and we've gone our separate ways. It was not the ned of the world.

    I know you said it's NWE but if you weren't wanting to rekindle the friendship before you were engaged, then doing so just because you have a wedding and might want to invite them is not a good enough reason to get back in touch IMO.
