WIBU to uninvite my friend

[Kallo]

Name changed for this as it's quite specific.

Last night I was out with a group of mates, at an event where a couple I am friends with were also attending. Let's call them Bob and Margaret.

After the event me and my mates were going for a drink, I invited Bob and Margaret along. Bob was too tired but Margaret wanted to come along so Bob left and she waited with me for the others. Really I prefer Bobs company, although we have always socialised as a three. I decided to encourage Margaret to go home after Bob, and said I would see them in the week. She took the hint and went to catch up with Bob.

About 20 minutes later I got a text from Bob asking me that that was all about, and why I had treated Margaret that way. Margaret didn't contact me

Bob is the more extroverted of the two so I really thought it might be awkward or difficult with just her. She didn't look upset or anything she just said ok. They now don't want to see me for something we had planned this week.

I think I made the right call really and reckon I didn't have much choice, but now I think I have lost my friendship with Bob.

@KeepServingTheDrinks 👏👏👏 couldn’t agree more!
While I agree the OP was in the wrong, people here are going a bit far with the bashing. They’ll be an #iammargaret movement next 🙄

Why do most people spit poison on this site? I bet half of you would never dream of saying these things in real life (I hope!)

Do you think piling in on someone in this way proves you're a nicer person than she is?

I think possibly people really do think this, not realising that often the punishment is worse than the crime.

I don’t think most people plough through 14 page threads. Just read the OP and maybe a few responses. So it’s not necessarily a piling in. Just the same response from many individuals

Given how often we get to p.20 of a thread and someone will say "have you cancelled the cheque" or the equivalent, that may be the case. Sometimes though I think people are actually emboldened by what's gone before. But really, with long threads, you can just highlight the OP's responses and then skim through. You can get the general tone of thread and catch up with the key bits. That way you avoid saying what everyone else has already said, whether that would be adding to a pile on or simply saying something that was said 3 times on p.1 when events have moved on considerably.

Ha ha yy to the Iammargarate movement😂😂😂😂

Maybe in ‘piling on’ the op will realise how out of order she is.
If everyone thought ‘oh I won’t comment someone’s already said she’s BU’ op night think as only one person said it it’s actually not that bad. Plus most people just write their opinion, which is the whole bloody point of aibu, everyone is allowed their say, it’s not our fault that op was such a dick that all of the opinions are the same.

The OP only posted three times, she has already name changed back to her untarnished name and stopped thinking about the thread.
