Me and a friend went out for drinks on Saturday, had a fun night, got quite tipsy.

As a friendship group there is about 7 of us. In a group like that some are closer to others, some meet up for lunch just two of them, or go to each others house for coffee - as far as I'm concerned it's not a problem as long as one person isn't specifically left out of plan.

Anyway me and friend like I said were quite drunk and we rang a good friend who lives abroad and left her a voicemail.

Looked on Facebook today and see that one of our friends has commented on abroad friends page asking how she is etc, abroad friend commented back saying she was good and how funny the voicemail was.

When friend said - I wouldn't know, I didn't get an invite. It was obviously a singles night out.

As I being unreasonable to not want to be referred to as that. I go out with one friend who also happens to be single and we're suddenly on a singles night out.

I wouldn't feel the need to ever say - on an old marrieds night out?

I just generally class a night out with a friend as just that - night out with a friend. I don't feel like I should be defined by my relationship status.

Think you might be over thinking this one.

Icelollycraving · 26/08/2013 18:41

Yabu. Are you on a comedown?
Seriously,not worth a second thought.

Nagoo · 26/08/2013 18:42

don't worry about it.

MotherOfDragon · 26/08/2013 18:44

It was a throwaway comment. Much as you would say 'boys night' don't over think it.

BasketofKisses · 26/08/2013 18:45

Are you on a comedown?

Confused

It was two nights ago ... and I don't do drugs. Erm .... wow.

I understand what you mean, but like the others have said, you're overthinking. Honestly, don't give it another thought Smile

Icelollycraving · 26/08/2013 19:08

I was teasing,are you normally so easily offended?
It was like saying a girls night when not one of the people have been a girl for years.

LookAtTheTwain · 26/08/2013 19:17

Oh get over it.

SarahAndFuck · 26/08/2013 19:17

I think you might be over thinking.

But is there a chance your other friend is feeling left out in general? I have a friend with five children who is often left out because people assume she won't have time or won't be able to afford it.

And she's the first to admit that sometimes they might be right. But she always appreciates an invitation and the opportunity to decide for herself.

I know you didn't plan your night out making that assumption about your friend, but if your group have been going out a lot recently in two's and three's and she hasn't been invited to any of it she might be feeling that everyone is doing things without her. Even if it's not intentional and it's not the full group minus her going out each time.

Nagoo · 26/08/2013 19:31

I don't do drugs either, but I do feel all weirdy and paranoid today after going out too late on Saturday. I wasn't wrecked, but I did drink a air bit and didn't sleep enough. I'd call it a comedown.

The trouble with FB (and dare I say it MN) etc is that people write in a conversational style - but it's not always possible to judge the tone IYSWIM.

CoffeeTea103 · 26/08/2013 21:02

Over thinking this!

BlingBang · 26/08/2013 21:43

Well your friend is just aware that there has been a great night out and she wasn't invited - she probably thinks there might have been more of you there.

Don't understand that you are annoyed at her saying a 'singles night' - that seems to be the least of the misunderstanding.

nannynewo · 26/08/2013 21:52

YANBU, the way it was written seems very sarcastic and I would be upset too.

Famzilla · 26/08/2013 22:11

Unless there are other issues between you and this person I think you are overreacting. Sounds like something I would say to my friends, I wouldn't think for 2 seconds it would upset them!

ThisIsaLoooow · 26/08/2013 22:16

No big deal

Mia4 · 26/08/2013 22:29

I think you're probably over-sensitive, would you feel the same if you'd been on a double date and a single friend had said it was obviously a marrieds night.

If you are wondering that suggest either a) this friend has passive aggressive form b) said friend has voiced about being left out before or c) you feel like you've left her out.
