To confront these so called friends?

Arranged to see Beauty and the Beast with 3 friends. In a group chat, two cancelled as they couldn't afford it and the third cancelled as we should do it instead when everyone is free.

Flat mate who is also friends with one of them saw on snapchat that they'd all gone this afternoon. They'd blocked me from seeing this Snapchat.

Aibu to confront them? Tempted to leave a message in our group chat.

I agree, yiur message was fine op. Hope they squirm.

InvisibleKittenAttack · 26/03/2017 21:31

If you are going to lose them anyway, I would say something - perhaps a message to all 3 to tell them that you've seen their snapchat message on FlatMate's phone, you are disappointed they felt they couldn't just be honest with you that you weren't welcome, and that you won't be contacting them again.

ClopySow · 26/03/2017 21:31

I think your text was fine OP. Honest and stright to the point.

InvisibleKittenAttack · 26/03/2017 21:31

oh just seen your text, perfect.

StealthPolarBear · 26/03/2017 21:32

Well done op

bringbacksideburns · 26/03/2017 21:32

Why would they find that funny?! They hopefully will feel absolutely mortified they've been found out.

Now put it behind you - on wards and upwards and don't allow them any more brain space.

EweAreHere · 26/03/2017 21:33

Your message was succinct and to the point.

Sorry, OP. That really, really bites. Keep your head up. You're worth more than all of them put together, the nasty things.

StillStayingClassySanDiego · 26/03/2017 21:33

You've let them know you know about being left out of the trip. I would now delete the Snapchat group and them from your contacts.

VeryButchyRestingFace · 26/03/2017 21:33

I don't think there was anything egregious or laugh-worthy about the message OP sent her former friends.

It was short, to-the-point and measured.

noitsnotme · 26/03/2017 21:33

Nothing wrong with what you wrote, OP. You're just being honest. I hope they feel like shit, and if they don't, you're well rid anyway.

BellonaBelladonna · 26/03/2017 21:33

Hold your head high. Good text.

Graceflorrick · 26/03/2017 21:34

This is awful. Poor you OPFlowers

goodpiemissedthechips · 26/03/2017 21:34

They didnt care enough about you to invite you and now you've given them the means to laugh at you too

Hmm

Let them laugh, if they genuinely think it's funny then you are well out of it and can focus on your more mature friends!

podrig · 26/03/2017 21:34

Shock bitches

Have they responded? You are better off knowing the truth about their characters Flowers

cafesociety · 26/03/2017 21:34

Vile behaviour and deeply unpleasant people. You are best off without them. No real friends would be so cruel and calculating. Just awful.

GlitteryFluff · 26/03/2017 21:35

How horrible.

ReginaGeorgeinSheepsClothing · 26/03/2017 21:35

Nothing wrong with what you wrote, but I would step away (again only what id Do!) Hope they don't feel as bloody clever as they did when they went!

Moussemoose · 26/03/2017 21:35

Send them a link to this thread.

PoundlandUK · 26/03/2017 21:35

Your message was perfect OP Wine

eyespydreams · 26/03/2017 21:35

OP that is so shit. If it's any consolation I've seen my old seemingly lovely boss who was really actually quite a bitchy cliquey lady do it to some of her 'chums' on a fairly rotating basis - it was def her issue not the victims'! She would like them perfectly well but have this urge to leave people out! I think it's an actual thing called relational aggression. Anyway, you sound very sensible but just in case you were thinking 'but what's wrong with me??' It's def them not you, some people seem to have a weird desire to exclude and be mean and are best off left to it (the twats)!

Billybonkers76 · 26/03/2017 21:35

That's just mean. What excuse will they come up with?!

goodpiemissedthechips · 26/03/2017 21:36

(You're well out of it anyway of course. They sound truly horrible.)

SorrelSoup · 26/03/2017 21:36

MadMags yes! Family politics Hmm

RaymondinaReddington · 26/03/2017 21:36

How hurtful. Good for you calling them out on it. I would definitely let them go whatever their response is.

Imaginingdragonsagain · 26/03/2017 21:36

Sorry OP, they're not your friends.
