Just need to rant really. I posted previously about being dumped by a group of friends. My DH is still friendly with one but we see no one apart from that guy from the circle of 4 couples. Once I wasn’t friends with one it seemed we couldn’t remain friends with others not that I expected more than the odd catch up as they were the main prtsgabists friends first . We were all friends for around 5 years. Anyway couple whose husband we have never been that friendly with and wife with whom I was until I was dumped by queen B of group has had the audacity to call in a favour from DH in the form of some discounted goods from his work . I feel he is a cheeky beggar he always on a deal when you go round their house if you don’t bring your own food booze you are knackered. I just feel how dare he a year on when his wife effectively dumped me for no reason. Am I unreasonable !?!?

YANBU tell your DH not to reply

AmazingPostVoices · 25/05/2018 20:06

Just politely decline. They can’t have it both ways.

Mates rates are for mates.

TorviBrightspear · 25/05/2018 20:07

Or perhaps get your DH to reply he only does this for friends.........

SparklyMagpie · 25/05/2018 20:07

Tell him to fuck off

Melliegrantfirstlady · 25/05/2018 20:09

YANBU

Please tell us that your DH hasn't already done the favour.

TBH, I'd be disappointed in my partner for still being friends with any of them after the way they acted.

UgliCat · 26/05/2018 03:12

What did you mean by 'calling in a favour'. To me that would mean he had done you a favour in the past under the agreement that it would be reciprocated. In those circumstances, different story.

Whyarealltheusernamestaken · 26/05/2018 03:18

I would have him reply “ do I know you” but mates rates is good too :)

ThumbWitchesAbroad · 26/05/2018 03:31

I like the "mates' rates" response but it will effectively kill that friendship stone dead forever. But then it sounds like it's nearly there anyway, so might as well put it out of its misery.

Titaniumpins · 26/05/2018 07:30

Ugli cat poor choice of words, they have never done us any favours. Unfortunately DH has said yes but it's tricky as kids still friends. Glad other folk think it's CF too.

I dunno, if the DHs never had any problem with each other then I think it's between them as they still might consider themselves mates - like if they saw each other out they'd have a chat, not blank each other etc, but they can't do much more than that because of the situation with their wives which they're probably staying out of. The fact that your DH said yes suggests that's the case. I know you didn't start this but I'd leave the DHs out of it and let this slide.

Titaniumpins · 26/05/2018 08:16

I wouldn't stop DH as you say the DH haven't fallen out although they don't and didn't really hang out but yes would have a chat if out and about. I just think given the circumstance he has a total brass neck. But to be fair he well known for tightness and CF.

I don't understand if you have a fall out with one person then suddenly you don't hear or see anyone else again. Sure if I bumped into them they would say hello. Folk are weird !
