Pretty self explanatory, but husband and I have slowly been growing apart from an old friend group of his. It’s totally fine, it’s no hard feelings, it’s a part of life and there has been no real event or time we can pinpoint. We have all gotten married and had kids but they can never do anything when we invite them to things, will do the exact same things on their own with each other and post about it, but we will always get invited to birthday parties, baby showers, bridal showers, kids birthdays etc. And when we go and see them, they are always so happy to see us, it’s a good time, and their attitude is always “it’s been too long, life is so crazy, we need to get together soon!”
In the past month and a half I’ve been invited to 3 baby showers and a 1st birthday party. I finally for the first time declined the upcoming baby shower but will still send a gift, and plan on declining the first birthday coming up the following weekend. Tbh, money is tight and we have a yard sale planned for this weekend or next that would overlap. But also, it just feels disingenuous.
Would anyone feel the same way? Has anyone else been in the same situation?
