I’ll try to be brief. About two years ago my partner and I moved to a small town on the other side of the country because she got a good job. We have both struggled a bit socially since then. We don’t really have a steady group of friends but there have also been a lot of positive things.
My main hobby is music. I find it is a good way to meet people. Me and this guy have been friends for about a year now. We jam together. He was always kind of slow at getting back to my texts but recently he ignored me for like a month. Then my partner and I went on vacation. I was posting on social media about it. He finally reached out to me one day wondering if I was back in town and said he wanted to jam.
He met two other musicians who we have since been jamming with. The music is going great but I feel a little weird and like the vibe is off. They talk about things and I can tell they have hung out with out me. Last week they were talking about a camping trip they were planning and one of the guys was like “it’s open to everyone” and that I could go. IDK. It felt like a pity invite so I didn’t ask any questions and I doubt I’ll go. One of the other guys was asking him how his birthday was. He said it was just him, his gf, and another couple. I felt kinda bad I didn’t get the invite. We used to hang out as couples and he was invited to my partners birthday.
I guess I’m not sure what to do with my feelings. It reminds me of when I was in highschool and felt like I didn’t fit in with the other kids 😔.
