Wow, that hurt. I shared with a friend yesterday about what is happening with h and I. I hadn't told her, even though she is a close friend, b/c they are a "couple" friend of h and I. She, of course, was upset. We talked for awhile, and she asked what my plans for Christmas were. I told her i wasn't sure yet. H is going to take ds up to his grandma's and my family all ives far away. She offered for me to pop over to their house if I wanted. They are not usually in town so I said "You guys will be around." She said, "Yes, my family will be there and we will be exchanging presents, but you are welcome to come over for some food." I don't think I really would do it, but I appreciated the offer. I thanked her and told her I would let her know.
This morning I got an email from her reneging the offer. She said that her father "who is a hermit" might not want to come if others were there. That hurt a lot. Why would you offer this to someone and not stand by her offer? If she could even understand how hard this christmas is going to be for me, she would not do what she just did. I am hanging by a thread here and that was truly hurtful. That really, really hurt.
