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

369 replies

OhCallistoSolo · 01/11/2016 21:57

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?

I quite like the idea of "din dins". Smile

Must remember to add it to my repetoire when speaking to my pet parrot.

sorry i cant getover the nosh comment

Do you stick your pinkie in the air whilst holding the can Hopping?

Sorry OP as it's your first post and your blatant the use of the word sups indicates that you're not familiar with MN, this must be quite a baptism of fire.

Come on peeps - play nice. WinkGrin

I guess all of you offended people live on sink estates and would rather buy fags and special brew then feed your children?

Yes, that's the only logical conclusion to draw, isn't it?

PresidentOliviaMumsnet · 01/11/2016 22:40
Hmm Bit of peace and love, eh?
TempusEedjit · 01/11/2016 22:42

And special brew

Peace n love, sups n nosh

SpaceUnicorn · 01/11/2016 22:43

Oh and welcome to MN

It's got pretty much everything I want from an inaugral post on MN. On reflection, I think I like the class warfare element best of all.

SouthWestmom · 01/11/2016 22:43

We have dinner and then supper. I might start calling it sups, the dc would love that.

Op I think that's crappy but maybe he's in a couple and she works in that weird way where you have couples together and then 'the girls' separately?

ParadiseCity · 01/11/2016 22:44

Bloody hell crying laughing at group nosh. That's extreme team building Shock

Mind you my new-at-the-time boss told me he'd taken his old boy out in the woods at the weekend...

WaitrosePigeon · 01/11/2016 22:44

Sups......?

No no no no no.

PurpleDaisies · 01/11/2016 22:45

group nosh would be accompanied by hundreds of selfies on Facebook with the caption "om nom nom"

SpaceUnicorn · 01/11/2016 22:45

Peace n love, sups n nosh

Then an invigorating couple of hours getting your colours nailed to the mast Grin

ClashCityRocker · 01/11/2016 22:45

It was certainly confusing re the group nosh.

There wasn't even an email to explain, he just put it in our outlook calendars. I got into work to find an invitation in my outlook calendar for a 'group nosh'.

In all seriousness op, I can see why you're upset. It is tricky when a couple where you are close to both partners (if this is the case) split up.

GrinchyMcGrincherson · 01/11/2016 22:45

It comes across as picking sides and she chose his. She may not realise this. She at be so desperate to "stay friends with everyone" that she's over compensating inviting him around because she often comes to yours?

Are you certain he's been around? If you only have his word for it I wouldn't believe it tbh. If you are certain TALK to her. If she's a good friend she will apologise and you can sort it out.

Also this I am from the NW and like fuck is "sups" a word. I can't get it out of my head now though and it's making me feel irrational. I think we have a new moist.

A woman I used to work with once bemusedly announced that she'd asked the butcher for "a nice ham shank" and he'd given her ever such a funny look Grin

Secretmetalfan · 01/11/2016 22:48

He probably doesn't use the word 'sups' that word has inexplicably made me quite angry!

This.

I think saying supper is actually easier than saying sups. Mind you I've used din dins before now but only to DS. I hope. While we're on the subject, the word 'brunch' really grates on me for some reason. I'd rather say late breakfast or early lunch. Brunch just sounds like you're covering up.

user1477282676 · 01/11/2016 22:52

She's not your best friend OP. She may have been before you split. Now...she's not.

I don't mean to upset you but I have seen this happen before when couples split. One half of the split couple gets retained by the group and the other gets ditched.

She will probably invite his new partner when he meets one over...and then that will be the new couple....prepare yourself now.

MrsHandles · 01/11/2016 22:54

AnyFucker I don't know what 'tupping' means, but what the hell, that too! NE here; I've only ever supped tea (which is definitely both a food and drink!)

EddieStobbart · 01/11/2016 22:55

Your friend's a twat. Are you all from Chipping Norton?

They call it "denner" where I'm from. And supper is the opposite of rubbish.
