I have a group of friends from high school I stayed in touch with during college and our 20s. Since the pandemic we haven’t talked as much because they all moved to separate, smaller cities the past few years.
One of them is having a bachelorette party in the city I live in. I didn’t know about the party, but she reached out to me to let me know they’d all be in town for the bachelorette party and that they wouldn’t have time to see me.
This felt very harsh because I didn’t even know about the bachelorette party or them being in town. I would have preferred either remaining in the dark or, if you are gonna reach out, inviting me for a small happy hour cocktail or brunch.
What’s going on here? We are all adults and that felt really rude and unnecessary.
