My dear friend has a bit of form for lateness; it does annoy me, but I've never brought it up because she and her DP are lovely in all other respects, and it happens in fits and starts. They're either hour(s) late or bang on time. It seems petty to bring it up.
Today though, it's sort of eaten away at me a bit.
We were supposed to have breakfast together at 9, and then pop out all together (they are godparents to DS who is 2). However, at 9am I get a text saying friend's DP has been called into work, but they will be there at 10am. At 10:20, another text saying they won't be long. At 10:30am ish, friend phones me saying her DP won't be long. By 11:45am, I've heard nothing, and I phone her to say we're going to eat because DS is hungry and so are we, and that we're heading out afterwards. She told me her DP told her he had texted me (he hadn't) to say he was running late. About 15 minutes later I get a rushed text message from her DP saying that he'd been held up at work. I said I hoped they had a nice day still.
I texted friend this evening to say I hope she'd had a nice day, and we'd see them tomorrow (we're having lunch at theirs), but heard nothing.
I sort of feel a bit... Flat. This has happened before. They're supposed to come to ours for drinks, but they turn up an hour late with no real acknowledgement. It's happens quite a bit. I was holding a baby shower for a mutual friend, and my friend pulled out 20 minutes before I was due to pick her up by leaving a message on my answer phone.
Am I overreacting? Is this just a quirk of theirs?
Or do they just not think that much of us? Because honestly, that's how it feels right now, it feels really shitty.
Can someone come and talk some sense into me? I'm sort of dreading tomorrow now, like there's a bit of an elephant in the room after today.
