I'm 28, recently single. I used to be part of a close knit group of friends from school, until my mid twenties when I focused on my career, moved away from home and started to lose touch. The group didn't like that I wasn't always free to go out and meet them as I lived far away and had lots of exams. They often made comments about me on social media - nothing too terrible but basically suggesting I was a rubbish friend.
In this group all except 2 are married. One is getting married in October and I don't want to go. I am sick of the constant analysis of my life and I know that they will latch on to me being single and make me feel very uncomfortable. It feels sad as I uses to be very close to them all, but I feel like now I don't have much in common with them and maybe I am being paranoid but I don't fancy sitting alone at a wedding with lots of couples with friends who have been frosty with me since I moved away.
If I don't go to the wedding I will lose them even more, though. Having said that, they've made me feel rubbish about myself for a while through Facebook - posting images of friendship pages but not including me etx. I don't really know what I did other than not be free to party when I took exams. I also tried to stay in contact via phone.
I don't know what to do. Any advice please?
