Am in friendship group with A and B. A cut me out and indeed most of our university friends, I think due to jealousy. B was her friend (they are still good friends) who I befriended and even lived with before A cut me off. I have never tried to turn B against A despite being very hurt and confused, and have reconciled myself with the fact they are still very good friends as are we even though A has a long history of losing friends!
Their friend C has since moved to our city and has invited me to a few things. I know that they do things often as a three but occasionally I do things with them (not A). I like C. I have invited her to a couple of dinners and things (along with B, who I see more) over the last few weeks but she has declined as waiting for payday. Do I continue to invite her? Don’t want to make her feel awkward. I’m very aware I’ll never be as close as the others and don’t want to embarrass myself
