To Be Upset That My Alledged Best Friend Has Invited My Ex-H Over For Sups?

Looking for some perspective here as I really don't know if I'm being unreasonable or not.

I haven't been invited by my best friend for supper (or anything else for that matter) since January. My ex-h has been invited twice that I know of, and the other couple we all see have been regular visitors. My best friend, with and without her husband, has been for sups with me countless times. Every time she comes over she tells me that she must invite me round for sups. Am I being over-sensitive to feel really upset that my ex-h gets and invite when I don't?

You aren't unreasonable to be upset, although it is difficult when you're friends with both members of a couple that splits up. Have you just got into a pattern where she comes to you instead of you going to her?

You are unreasonable for using the words "sups".

Ask her about it.
And please don't write 'sups' ever again!

Do you think you don't get invited because you say "sups"?

Do you also go on holibobs together? Sorry you're finding it difficult but all I can think about is what an awful word sups is. Perhaps you can suggest breks instead if sups isn't working.

no you are not being unreasonable.

She's nailed her colours to the mast there.

YANBU. But she maybe just doesn't realise it's been an unequal balance and enjoys coming to yours because you dish up amazing sups. If she's your best friend call and say 'can I come over on Friday'.

Dame sups is dinner and sips is drinks

Snozz is sleep, breks is breakfasts, shuh is shower

And one never says "going to town". You'd say "visiting the City"

I am from the UK and I am pleased to say I have never come across the word used in this way before. I hope never to do so again.

Come on, someone tell us how mean we are all being :P

It's what posh people call dinner. I have a friend who said this and we were like "huh? Supper is toast and a glass of milk!"

Had no idea the word 'sups' is so offensive. Its just short for supper.

You're not being unreasonable to be upset, however perhaps she can't bring herself to say "sups" and that is the reason for the lack of invite.
