So I have stopped replying. I’ve kind of decided that a lot of you are completely out of touch with real life when it comes to situations like this. You just want to feel like you’re better than others so you get on r/relationships and throw practiced responses at everyone without actually thinking about how the poster might actually be feeling. Relationships, romantic or not, are not as simple as just giving someone the most generic of advice.

As an update if it even matters, I have not moved off of my position that these people simply chose to leave me out. I’m fine with it at this point and have pretty much accepted I’m not going to have friends in them. I’m not going to lower my standards in the slightest for what I believe a friend should be. I don’t know how else to explain, they literally said to me they didn’t want the other person there. If I wasn’t invited, I wasn’t wanted either.

I told the other person about this and she’s in the same boat now and actually said she thought they just threw her a pity invite in the past and she’s gonna stop waiting up for them.

The fact that I’ve got a child should change very little on this. If I’m invited to something, its extremely easy to get a sitter. Other people in the group have kids, one younger than mine, this was not at all a factor in my being not asked.

I apologize for popping off in the comments at some of you but I’m not going to hang with these people after this and I think I’m perfectly right for that. For those who’ve inboxed me with kind words and advice I appreciate it.
