Upset at friend

First time posting sorry if it’s long!
Been friends for few years and quite close. Meet up quite often (weekly/fortnightly sometimes more) usually at events as we have a mutual obsession.
About a month ago arranged to meet friend at an event (weekend just gone) arranged for breakfast together as usual all seemed fine.
About 2/3 weeks ago friend went quiet on contact. Didn’t think too much of it as not unusual and he doesn’t always confirm until day before or even on the day which is fine thats how he rolls.
Anyway I get to the event and he is there with a group of mutual friends of ours, went for breakfast with them and was having dinner with them that evening.
I am upset as we usually do this and I am normally included if other mutual friends are going along too but it was as if he totally forgot about me! He didn’t speak to me much other than hello and I haven’t heard from him at all since although he has seen DH and not said theres anything up. I know it’s childish but feel like I have been ‘ditched’
DH says I am overthinking as friend has never done anything like this before and has no reason to.
AIBU to feel upset?

His behaviour is very strange. Something has obviously happened. I would message him to see if you've done something to upset him and then leave the ball in his court.

Thats what I thought but cant think what as we have had no contact since we arranged to meet but he was fine when I saw him 2 days before arranging meet up. 🤷🏻‍♀️

He was rude. There is something behind it.

I had arranged to go to the event with him but he went radio silent on me. When I turned up at the event he was already there having had breakfast with everyone else and basically ignored me. Everyone else there was fine though.

Yes he does but she wouldn’t be behind his weirdness 😂

I'm not too clear, did you arrange to meet him at the event and he went off with friends? If so his behaviour is awful.

My opinion is that you've done something to upset him and he's annoyed. Otherwise his behaviour doesn't make sense.

He is DH friend too he knows our friendship inside out but says he doesn’t think he is being weird!
No he is married so there is no one new on the scene.

No, you're not being unreasonable. I think it's a bit unfair of DH to tell you you're wrong because it's your friendship and you are best placed to know when something has changed.

Has he got a new female partner who is being weird about his friendship with you?
