To be upset friends didn't invite me out?

Ilovecoleslaw · 04/11/2017 17:41

Gone shopping with my two best friends today which has been planned for a while.
Everything was going fine, normal chit chat until friend 1 mentions she went out last night and that she met a guy. Later on I ask about the guy and whether she took him home to which she said 'No, friend 2 was the only one in my bed last night.' And then says whoops and looks at friend 2.
I say thanks for the invite, where friend 2 doesn't mutter a word and friend 1 says 'well you were driving today'.
Now I'm not sure whether I'm being unreasonable in being upset over it. There's never been a time that I know of where one the three of us hasnt been invited out if the others were. They both knew I was free last night but clearly didn't want me to join them, which I feel really upset about.
The day shopping hasn't felt like we've been together at all. When I've wanted to go into any shops, they've gone into separate ones together, which I'd also wanted to go into, and said for me to go into the ones I want on my own.
I've had problems with both of them in the past and this has really got to me. Problems being friend 1 telling my now partner I was raped before I told him. Friend 2 telling me to get over my miscarriage and hers was worse because hers looked like a baby and mine supposedly didn't.
I really don't have a problem with them doing things together without me, they often go for coffees together etc, but it feels strange that we all planned today together but they didn't want to invite me out last night.
Please give me some advice mumnetters :(

IT can years to realise 'friends' are actually frenemies.

I spent so long with one, wondering why I felt like shit every time I saw her. I ditched her, and she no longer makes me feel like that, as she's not in my life anymore.

Honestly OP. Get some real friends and ditch these two.

MsHarry · 04/11/2017 19:27

I agree with squares first post.Not friends.

Foxysoxy01 · 04/11/2017 19:28

They are not your friends, they are just using you and making it bloody obvious at that! They are rude using fuckers!

Honestly you would be better with no friends than these two bitches.

I hope you drove home without them but I can understand if you didn't I wouldn't be ballsy enough to either.

Fluffycloudland77 · 04/11/2017 19:28

I hope you drove off and left them there.

Farrah87 · 04/11/2017 19:31

They don't sound like real friend or even nice people - I hope you left them there too!

I hope you're ok OP xxxx

guestofclanmackenzie · 04/11/2017 19:32

How old are they?? They sound completely immature.. And they sound like they enjoy the "mean girl" type bullying done in the school playground.

Start putting yourself first and remove them from your life as you deserve better.

dibbleanddobble · 04/11/2017 19:32

Sorry op, have had similar and it's shit!! Flowers

They didn't invite you on their night out, then expected you to be their taxi driver for the day but left you feeling like an outsider.

No need for a big showdown, just quietly put some space between you. Don't do the running, don't be readily available and don't do favours that aren't returned.

Have you considered joining some sort of social group to make new friends? Sounds like you need some!

WanderingTrolley1 · 04/11/2017 19:34

They’ve been using you. You’re better off without them.

bimbobaggins · 04/11/2017 19:38

I hope you drove away and left them
In all honestly I think I’d rather have no friends than put up with half of the crap people on mn put up with. Who needs enemies with friends like this

DontWannaBeObamasElf · 04/11/2017 19:39

You’ve posted about these arseholes before haven’t you? They’re not worth the time of day. I dropped an arsehole friend last year. It’s liberating.

Tiredemma · 04/11/2017 19:41

They are not friends. They are bitches.

FlexTimeCheekyFucker · 04/11/2017 19:43

What a couple of bitches. You're too good for them. Ditch them. Hope you're ok Flowers

IggyAce · 04/11/2017 19:44

Agree with pp ditch them, they aren't friends.

Aeroflotgirl · 04/11/2017 19:47

Have some self respect and self worth op, ditch these couple of users.

bimbobaggins · 04/11/2017 19:50

Yes elf it is liberating when you finally ditch them isn’t it.

Ilovecoleslaw · 04/11/2017 19:53

I did wait for them. They went to get donuts, sorry I didn't want to be too specific. So it wasn't proper food.
The journey home was pretty much in silence. Said a quick bye when I dropped them off and they both went to friend 1's house. We're all 21 for the posters who asked.
Thank you for all your responses Flowers
I'm not sure whether to message them to let them know how upset I am, or just leave them to it

Leave it . Block all contact with them . They are not your friends. Find friends that want to be with you .

Aeroflotgirl · 04/11/2017 19:57

Just leave them, they won't understand. Delete and block them, and don't have anything else to do with them.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 04/11/2017 19:57

If these are friends I wouldn't want to meet your arch enemies. They're hopeless. How dare they tell you to get over your miscarriage. You'll never be over it. I lost my first baby 20 years ago. I still have my weeps.
Also about her telling your new partner about what happened to you, does that's beyond corrupt.
Oh and about the, But you were driving today. That's not the point.
Cheeky pair of cliques

Fluffycloudland77 · 04/11/2017 20:00

Just dump them, you're so young & have time to make proper friends if you want to.

JustDanceAddict · 04/11/2017 20:02

They sound like massive users to me, sorry.

StealthPolarBear · 04/11/2017 20:03

You're not the poster who was going to a hotel with them are you? And they were moaning about your suitcase

BMW6 · 04/11/2017 20:05

Don't contact them - they KNOW they have been horrible and hurt you but they don't care, because you are only a means to an end (you drive).

Please please don't demean yourself. Cut all contact and block.
Take up a hobby, join a club, volunteer at a Dog Rescue, volunteer to help clear woodland or waterways nearby..........you will meet lots of lovely people who could be TRUE friends, not just users.

sanddune11 · 04/11/2017 20:09

Honestly OP, it 'd be better to have no friends than these two users. I'm just trying to remember what they'd done the last time to upset you, i'm sure you posted on here about them and it was equally nasty. Ditch them, they sound like they get enjoyment out of upsetting you. Nasty bitches.

MammaTJ · 04/11/2017 20:10

These people are not friends. Better to have no friends than people like these masquerading as friends. Set your bar a lot higher than this. Get rid, move on.
