Is my friend trying to tell me that she wants to call it a day

I am completely aware, that no one has to invite anyone to anything, but am I being unreasonable to fill extremely hurt that my best friend for 15 years has not invited me to their birthday gathering.

My best friend and me are like sisters- that’s what people say. She has just started uni three hours away from where I live. She wanted me up on the first day however I said no. There was drama about this however they soon understood that I couldn’t go as my parents had given me a very awkward ultimatum. I agreed to go up on the following week, however things didn’t turn out the greatest ( thanks mostly to her batshit mum).

Earlier yesterday she started typing a Snapchat however no message came through. I thought it was a bit odd as she only snaps me if she wants to invite me out to do something, but I brushed it off. I thought she was saying at uni for her birthday. At midnight I thought I would ring her to say happy birthday ( I know she would be up because she always Waits for midnight on her birthday and if her birthday falls on a Saturday or Sunday she will always go clubbing to celebrate- I know I’m always there) To see if she was up I thought I would check her Snapchat story and I find out that she and all our friends ( Mutual) are in our local club! Like I said I know no one has to invite anyone but according to This person “I am in the top five most important people in her life” (Others being mum, dad and her two little sisters).

Me and her mum are really not on good terms at the moment so my bet it is SHE who didn’t want me to attend. Friend will do anything her mother says even though she’s an adult.

Just don’t know how to handle the situation. I’m pissed off that she invited all her friends out for her birthday apart from me. Who everyone considers to be her best friend! Sad

Move on pups... im not friends with anyone but noe person from age 20. All my friends i made at uni and as an adult. Like you went to uni late. Shes telling you shes a bad friend listen. Loads of other people who be better friends waiting for you. Study get your grades and work, travel or study again for something you want. You so young and got so much to look forward too.

Did you ring and wish her happy birthday? . I would have... Then left it. See what happens.

Do you have other, close friends, or is she the only
It makes it much harder to end a friendship if you don’t have many others, but that’s often when things can become emotionally manipulative. Moving on hurts, but you need to.

I remember your last thread too. I think you're better out of this friendship - it's become toxic, as other posters have also suggested. And how could it not, with a mother like hers in the picture? It seems impossible to interpret her failure to invite you as anything other than deliberate and spiteful. Nothing you can do except walk away. I'm sorry.
