Best friends birthday

[twiddlingthumbs69]

My best friend (known each other 40 years very close, more like sisters) had a big birthday last week.
They went out for lunch as a family to celebrate.
Just seen the photos and she'd invited several of the neighbours as well.
I didn't receive an invite.
At Xmas I had an experience booked and for various reasons, the person I was going with couldn't go so I took my friend. It was expensive. Obvs I didn't ask her to pay.
I just feel a little bit put out and upset that I wasn't invited to her day but random neighbours were. Aibu?

You can save yourself a fortune by never going out with her again. She sounds bloody awful, and yes, I would have been upset about the lunch.

Oh dear, stop being a mug. This woman is shamelessly using you.
Raise your bar, you deserve better friends 😊

I think this ship has sailed, OP.

I had a long term 'friend' who always made excuses not to see me. She too had a big birthday and I had asked her what she was doing. She ignored the question. I saw after a status of her all dressed up and obviously out with people.

I'm too old to bother with people who take this much energy and give little to nothing back. I cut my friend off, we'll never speak again because, why? What do I get out of it?

Wake up! She's not your best friend, you may think she is, but no.
She is your best friend.....you are not hers.
Cool this friendship.
She doesn't think that much of you, and you are being used.

I think you're all right.
I did mention that I noticed other non family members were there but she either missed the point or just didn't get it!
I'm going to ghost her now. It's a shame as we've known each other so long but this isn't the first time that she's sidelined me. When you get to 70 friends are precious but enough is enough

I did mention that I noticed other non family members were there but she either missed the point or just didn't get it!

I bet she did get it, she just ignored because she didn’t like it.
