To Be Upset That My Alledged Best Friend Has Invited My Ex-H Over For Sups?

[OhCallistoSolo]

Looking for some perspective here as I really don't know if I'm being unreasonable or not.

I haven't been invited by my best friend for supper (or anything else for that matter) since January. My ex-h has been invited twice that I know of, and the other couple we all see have been regular visitors. My best friend, with and without her husband, has been for sups with me countless times. Every time she comes over she tells me that she must invite me round for sups. Am I being over-sensitive to feel really upset that my ex-h gets and invite when I don't?

Poor OP!

I always thought sups was slang for blow job

In that case, the OP is definitely not being unreasonable.

Or poor oppsie

Should OP be "ops"?

Is it a regional thing? I used to hear 'sups' a lot growing up in the north west. Never heard it at all when I moved down south.

I think that's a nosh.

Yeah sups is definitely slang for blow job round here. I thought it was everywhere, the title made me

I saw the title, and wondered how many posts we would get to before the use of the word 'sups' was questioned.

What do you mean by supper? Is it tea/dinner? Supper to me is a hot chocolate and toast or a biscuit. It would be weird to invite anybody.

Assuming you mean the evening meal, i agree it's a little odd - but was she friends with your ex anyway? Difficult to say without knowing the circumstances but if he's taken the breakup hard, maybe she's worried he's not coping or eating?

I think there's a certain type of woman who rather enjoys feeding (newly) single men.

I'd tell her you are a bit upset that you haven't been invited to supper.

I'd also ignore the inverse snobbery here. Lots of perfectly lovely normal people call it 'sups.'

It's the 'tea' brigade who'd have your ex round for something microwaved then make a pass after too much Pinot.

My boss at work invited our team for a 'group nosh'.

I was very glad that he was just taking us to the pub for lunch.

I am from the north west, still live there and have never seen or heard 'sups' before tonight. Supper was what some southern folk at uni called tea.

Sups?! YABincrediblyU to use the word 'sups'.

Maybe ex-h is 'supping' her and that's why you're never invited. Or it could just be because of your use of sups...

It's the 'tea' brigade who'd have your ex round for something microwaved then make a pass after too much Pinot.

So "ignore the inverse snobbery" yet act so sneery yourself? Good grief.

Katienana: "what posh people call dinner. I have a friend who said this and we were like "huh? Supper is toast and a glass of milk!"

Gosh, for me, dinner is what posh people call tea.

Oi pretty that's not on!

I'd have him round for dinner and make benny hill style innuendos until the point where neither of us were sure whether we were having something fruity with whipped cream for dessert pudding or having a shag.

sups?

what a horrible word when used like that.. its has its own meaning!

that aside, yanbu.. ask her about it.

I think the word you are looking for, Mrshandles is "tups" as in the ex is "tupping" her

I am from the NW and like fuck is "sups" a word

I am sorry you are feeling sidelined, op. That's gotta sting.

Clash squirts cream from a can I hope?

Benny Hill! Topless with crash helmets round and round your pleather sofa'd lounge.

Perfect.

Oh dear OP. Oh dear.

Scrub that last sentence

Oh dear. I was going to give you advice but it appears it won't be worth it.

We sup our cha up north.
And if there's now't tint' tin, well there's 'ell t'pay.

Anyone?

I have never heard anyone use 'sups'!

But anyway, she's being insensitive. Yanbu.

I'm not offended.

I've just never heard anyone actually say it.

We eat dinner here.

Oh and welcome to MN.
