I'm lucky as I have big extended families, and very close to some if the in laws wife's etc and after 20 odd years consider them my close / best friends. Then last week I was supposed to meet up with a couple of them for a club we go to and I said I couldn't as I was off work sick. It just hit me today and no one has bothered to contact me afterwards or drop me a line to see how I am. I have just realised I am the one that organised nights out, and sends them messages to see how they are, messages them when their kids are poorly etc. I feel so stupid and let down by these women who are supposed to be my friends.
So would I BU to just not bother contacting them again ? (If they even notice)

I don’t think I’d typically check in with a friend who cancelled plans because they were unwell unless it was something serious. A headache, cold, stomach bug etc I wouldn’t have thought requires a follow up and I’d next contact them when I actually had something to say or wanted to arrange something. If you’re always the one organising stuff then that’s a separate issue and totally fair enough you feel it’s one sided.

Yanbu
Me and my friends always check on this stuff.
I’m not one for “just acquaintances” though.
