WAW - is it too late?

[SteveLW]

"Some friends sent out a group text, W and I were both in it, inviting us out to a group couples dinner. I hadn’t responded. But, W replied back saying “We don’t have a babysitter for our kids that night. But, H can go and I will watch the kids.”
We never even discussed this as an option. Nor did we even have any conversation at all about going out.

I was a bit offended that she spoke for both of us, and put me in mildly awkward position. I didn’t say anything to her, nor did I reply to the text. (this group of friends does know we are not in a good place right now) I wasn’t really excited about going to this anyway. It just seems really fake. We’d probably individually enjoy ourselves with our friends, but it is awkward being out together in a situation like this."

Text back to the group: "While I appreciate the invite, I already have plans that night."

That will drive her nuts! And she has already offered to watch the kids. So find something else to do that night and go do it. AND HAVE FUN!
