Had to cancel plans with friends yesterday, due to work. It’s the third time I’ve not been able to go, for a genuine reason each time. I’ve got two jobs, kids and sometimes I get ill.
It was nothing expensive or special, just a walk. The others still went. I felt really bad I couldn’t go. Despite apologising and wishing them a great time, one of them sent a really off message about it.
For once I stood up for myself and said that they should be kinder if a friend can’t make something. We’ve now totally fallen out.
I’m wondering if I should have just bit my lip and ignored their snarky remarks?
