Think it's odd I've been left out ??

Have been good friends for about 8 years with someone who is getting married this year. They are having a destination wedding which I'm not attending but it is only family going
Looking through my Instagram this week and noticed she has had a hen weekend with a large group this was the first id heard about it!
There was a few people there that I know she doesn't even like and has had nothing but bad things to say about them!!
Sort of can't believe I've not been invited, especially when I have been there for her a lot over the years and thought we had a nice friendship!
AIBU ? Has anyone else been in this situation?

The right response I think.

I also used to have a friend I used to give a lot of emotional support to.

I stopped that after she let me down. I’m still friendly towards her in groups and she tries to draw me back into 1:1 emotional chats but I’m honestly done with that in my mind.

If it bothered her that you weren't there, she would have contacted you and apologized for not being invited for whatever reason. She hasn't done that so she clearly isn't bothered. I'd cut ties if that's how she feels after all the support you've given her.

Great response OP.
Nothing she can say will absolve this.
Many users will assign a friend as their emotional crutch, if they can.

My friend was one, and had been very kind.
By pure chance she found out some really happy news that had not been relayed to her.
She was for the angst.
Well it was such a blessing.
She muted her, was busy, wouldn't give her the satisfaction of an explanation, she was just no longer available.

She too tried to corner her at a few social things but my friend simply walked away, completely disinterested.

Its a blessing, wise to see it as such.

This is understandably hurtful. There's not a chance she didn't know who was invited, they are organised now to the extreme, an itinerary even down to being told what to wear FFS. I think you're more hurt by the lack of an invitation rather than would you have had a wonderful time? Similar situation, my brother in law was 60 but apparently didn't want a fuss. No party, no get together. Yeah right. Some folks are spiteful, let them get on with it. Move on, she sounds charmless and bitchy and sadly there are quite a few of those around.
