Feeling ignored

I have two friends -lovely women - who - individually - I get on with each of them well. When we all meet for coffee, though, as happened yet again this morning, I feel as I might as well have not turned up. They basically just talk to each other, with the occasional glance in my direction, and I often find that my interjections or attempts to join in are ignored. I don't think they're doing this deliberately - it's just the way it happens. I'm happier to have them have a close connection- that's fine, but I do wonder if there's any point me meeting them like this. I just come away feeling I might as well as not bothered and feel upset at being overlooked.

Surely if they just wanted to meet each other, they'd just arrange a separate meeting though? Unless you always do the organising?

I think they do, but then we have a loose arrangment that we all meet weekly

If it's making you feel bad, I'd stop it and meet them separately in future. No need to make any deal out of it, just be busy for the next couple of weeks and the arrangement will probably drift off.

that's probably the best option...I guess I'll move to that
