Hi All.

I have a mix of friends, not just one group. I live about an hour away from my friends, so most things we do are organised in advance.

It was my birthday on Saturday and I had a meal/drinks back in my hometown, so all my friends who lived there could make it. The friends I have who live about 1hr away from my hometown couldn’t make it as they had ‘other plans’.

Then when i look on facebook, the plans they had weren’t actually what they had planned and they were doing other things. For instance one friend said she was going to London to visit family, then on Facebook i see she is 5 mins from her home in Manchester at a comedy night.

I understand that to get to my meal is an hours train away. However this particular friend travels all over, London, Wales (at the weekend to see family/friends) which is a lot further than coming to mine. So I was a bit disappointed as it felt like she just couldn’t be bothered. I haven’t said anything as i am hurt.

My other friend same as above, but she didn’t even text me to say Happy Birthday!

They are both coming to mine in December, so I am really confused.

My partners brother and fiance didn’t even acknowledge my birthday either – which i am quite shocked about. I have left it a few days, but still nothing… I have even put up pictures on facebook and they have been on facebook and not said anything. I spoke to his fiance the day before my birthday and told her what i was doing.

I guess – this is why I am losing interest in friends..
