Couple Feels Left Out By Friends, Asks Why And It Backfires

Being excluded from a friend group can be a painful experience, especially when you’re not sure why it’s happening. That’s what one couple (43,f) experienced after years of being close to their friends – or so they thought. Slowly but surely, they found themselves being invited to fewer and fewer events, and eventually realized they were being left out entirely. After some internal debate, they decided to ask their friends why they were being excluded. Unfortunately, the response they received was not what they expected. Instead of an explanation, they were called ‘butthurt’ and told that if their friends didn’t want to hang out with them, they didn’t have to. The situation only got worse from there, with hurt feelings and grudges on both sides. Was this couple wrong to ask why they were being excluded, or were their friends in the wrong for not being more inclusive?
