I've been friends with someone for about 12 years, not super close but definitely friends, I thought. She lives only up the road from me.
We both got pregnant at the same time time around 3 years ago and had little girls, so did end up spending time together on mat leave and then when I went back to work, maybe not so much but at least every few months or so. when I got married last year she played at the wedding reception, came on hen do etc.
It was her daughter's birthday last week and I've been invited to the past two parties so was surprised she didn't mention it but presumed maybe she was going away or seeing family or something.
I've just found out on facebook that she had a big party at her house (only a few miles away) and invited loads of other mums.
I'm really hurt - feel a bit betrayed actually. We're not super close friends, and sometimes I've felt like we're not as close now as in the past but I thought we were still friends and we have a lot of shared history and daughters of a similar age.
Is this her way of telling me she doesn't want to be friends do you think?
I'm feeling like curling up into a ball and shutting the world away right now.
I don't want to speak to her or see her ever again so please don't suggest I get in touch to discuss this. I've just taken her number out of my phone in a fit of pique (?) although husband still has it in his so it's more of a statement to myself than anything.
How the hell do I deal with this?
