Re: Valentine's Day Snub!

I don't think you've given them a chance. They wanted Valentine's Day with one another. No crime there. However, the weekend invite could still be on and then you and them and the others could still go out together and have an enjoyable evening.

If she lied about him being sick it was pretty strange that she posted a pic of them out to dinner. IMO, I don't think you should waste your time with these people.

I still would have posted a reply to her and said that I hoped that they had a nice Valentine's dinner and that they both looked great.

@JSpring well it's too bad that the couple didn't have the balls to cancel. Now you need to get some and move on.....don't comment....nothing. Maya Angelou - People show you who they are the first time.

I understand. it's easy for others to say forget it, let it go, but if you had a relationship with these people and thought things were good it hurts. I had a very similar experience at Christmas, to this day it still stings and I wish I could forget about it and let it go, but my heart and mind make it a challenge.

I don't understand people either, a simple, we have plans already would have sufficed. Friendships to change over the years sometimes and you do have to accept that. Sometimes there is no real reason. I'm sorry you got hurt, your feelings do count, but I would just "move on" and not make any further contact with them. If they contact you, great, but I wouldn't bring the V Day thing up, no point. They probably wouldn't even "get it" anyway if you did.

Keep chowing down at their annual party and don't push the friendship any further. If they really want to get together with you and the other couple, let them initiate it.

@cherry is so right. We do outgrow friends sometimes. I think most of us have experienced it one way or the other in our lifetime. I would just invite the third couple over. If they ask about the other couple, just explain that they've been too busy to get together. Don't let that couple put a damper on your fun, and don't put your life on hold waiting for them to come around.

@JSpring...something similar happened to my DH and me....the friend was DH's before we married, we all married about the same time and did enjoy each other's company, most of the time.

They had a baby which changed things a lot....but the problem came when they stood us up....I was very angry, so was DH but would not say anything...for some reason i could not let it go, so I called and told the wife what I thought. This was 20+ years ago, I wish I would not have said anything but at the time it seemed like a good idea, ha!

Of course the friend ship was and still is over...my husband still speaks to his old friend when we run into them...and I am polite as well.....I have sent cards when there has been a death..but that has never been returned when we lost loved ones....

Now if that was today and facebook was available and I saw a photo of someone that stood me up, I might at least make a 'small' comment, just so they knew I knew what was really going on.
