Déjà , it was us and two other families. We only invited one family to ours, they said, "why don't we go to the pub instead? Oh and let's invite x too!"
Which is what always seems to happen. They meet up with each other often. I am not usually included. That's fine. I don't expect to be, but when I try to organise something with one lot, it always turns into everyone being invited.
Which would be fine if we weren't so bloody excluded from it!
Alpaca, 
at the camel. It's annoying isn't it?
The main issue is that they have lived near each other for years and spend a lot of time together. I'm newly here and it makes for a rather "exclusive" feel to any gatherings.
It's made worse by the fact that they all know I'm struggling to get out. At least if they didn't then I could make excuses.
Jux, there's so many of us that it'll always be a squeeze but a good squeeze.
They make me feel like a whiney child stomping my feet and saying "this was my idea! Pay me attention!"
I got a few "I pass your house so often, I always think about dropping in but I never do" comments. To which I replied, "that would be lovely! You really should. Anytime." Whilst thinking "why tell me that? You're always telling me you'd love to come round, have the opportunity and choose not to. Surely that's just mean?"
They've always been rubbish. I just hoped they'd... Well... Not be.
The only story I did tell, the one about RL coming round and telling me about UW's abusive ex and me saying "join the club", I had to edit, because I know they think I'm exaggerating what XH did to me :(
Dh says I'm assuming that. And to an extent i am. But I always notice looks being exchanged if I mention the "abuse" word. There's a lot of "yes, but it's different with you, it wasn't that bad/you get very wound up by things/everyone else has dealt with similar/I wish he had just beat you to a pulp"
Sorry that's a very long whinge.
