I agree with every who said you are better off just moving on.  I also agree though with @Mz iMac why didn't you just talk on the phone.  It's more difficult for people to lie (if that's it) talking to the other person.

I don't know why people lie about stuff.  Two of my pet peeves are lying and exaggerating.  This has become an epidemic in this country and seems to be acceptable everywhere.  Goodness knows what the children are learning by observing.

I'm sorry your feelings were hurt but you don't need those kinds of friends anyway.  I wouldn't.

Do yourself a favor and resist the temptation to fill the information void with your own script.

For all you know, the husband has been unwell because he has an inoperable cancer, or some other untreatable disease, and this may be his last Valentine's Day with his wife. They've decided to keep their bad news private, but they're really not thinking of social graces in the face of this terrible impending event. They just want to wring all the happiness they can out of the time they have left, together, without having to deal with friends and family at the moment.

I certainly hope this isn't the case, but it could be, and wouldn't that change the picture? Doesn't that make you glad you didn't leave a bit of snark on their Facebook page and possibly spoil their day?

Like another person here said, let it go. The day is supposed to be about love, and hopefully that can extend beyond our nearest and dearest.

I would have posted on fb anyway and wrote something like "Oh John looks so well after being sick" and I would have either posted a smiley face or heart.

@JSpring   I know how hurtful this must be for you.   I don't think I could resist commenting on Facebook how well John (husband) is looking these days.   Just to let her know you're wise to her.   Then you'll never have a make up an excuse if she calls because she won't call.

Who knows why people do what they do without regard for the feeling of others.   Maybe they just felt like having a romantic twosome.   Don't let it get to you,  it wasn't you who committed the faux pas.

Thank you for your comments, I think I just wanted to get this off my chest!  The old me would have said something that has gotten me in trouble in the past. Moving on is the lesson to be learned. My husband sang the Frozen song to me - "Let it Go....".  Lol.  Happy Valentine's Day everyone!! xo

@JaneMarple Great minds think alike... see my post above.

Personally, I'd 'drop it'.  Forget it ever happened.  Lots of folks tell 'little white lies' when they don't want to attend 'this and that'.   If you just move on, and forget the past, I have a feeling that you will all enjoy one another's company again at other invites, gatherings, etc.  Well, it's what I would do, anyway.  Better to skip the resentment, in the long run.

Apparently, either she or her husband didn't want to have dinner at your house. Could it be because of the other couple? Whatever the reason, she mishandled it. Friends don't lie to one another. That she was enthusiastic about the suggestion was either misleading or her husband wasn't interested. I wouldn't invite them again. I'm sorry you were hurt and hope you had the dinner with the other couple because if you ccanciled, they will be hurt.

Yes, O/P!  'Shake It Off' (Taylor Swift) is a good song to sing/dance along to.

I don't know why people just can't be honest with each other. I mean , why lie and then post on Facebook' it's kind of juvenile.
