I (f 25) was hanging out with a friend from high-school last weekend and one of her other friends, who I had never met before. I left the room briefly and when I came back they were talking about a housewarming party for my friend that I hadn’t been invited to (the party was about a week from then, which would be tomorrow). The person I hadn’t met before was the one who brought it up, and my friend had a look of panic on her face when she realized I heard.
She told me they had already invited too many people, but since some of them couldn’t come then I could if I wanted to. (Also note that I had previously invited her do something that would be the weekend of the party and she never gave me a straight answer/never mentioned the party).
I said I would go, but now the night before the party I am having second thoughts. This is someone I have known for 10 years and I feel hurt over the situation and that I must think of her more as friend than she does me.
Am I in the wrong for wanting to text her that something came up and I can’t make it when it is pretty obvious it was an invite I wouldn’t have gotten if I hadn’t walked in on a conversation?
