[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have a friend group that originated as part of a baby playgroup. About half the playgroup became friends, and our husbands are friends, and we do a lot socially together.

For whatever reasons, ONE of the couples for whatever reason seems to be just blatantly rude to my husband and me. Like openly trying to exclude us. On 3-4 separate occasions they have been right in front of us - once AT OUR HOUSE - and have made plans inviting the other people in the group to come to their house, without inviting us. They literally walk up to each couple individually to say, hey come over for the game tonight. It is the weirdest thing I've ever seen.

My husband is so clueless about these things but even he was like, what is wrong with these people?! That's how blatant it is. I don't know if it's the husband or the wife pushing this behavior, to be honest sometimes it seems like it's her and sometimes it seems like it's him.

It's a big enough group that I'm not sure that others in the group notice what is happening - that whenever this particular couple makes the plans for our entire group, my husband and I are excluded. They very well may .. but they also may not. Not sure. I feel weird bringing it up. I am not the kind of person that typically has friendship drama or anything like that, so I would rather not draw attention to it by asking anyone else if they have noticed.

I'm not even asking why this is happening, because I have no clue and I am not sure I will ever know. [b]We are totally normal people with a lot of friends, nice kids, good jobs, nice house, there's nothing wrong with us.[/b] Also there is no chance this is in our head. I guess I'm just wondering what I should do about it. My husband wants me to stop inviting that couple when I invite the rest of the group to our home. I realize that it's exactly what they are doing, so it should be fine - but for me to specifically exclude a couple out of a group of five couples - that just feels so uncomfortable and awkward to me as well.

So how should I handle this?[/quote]

Maybe they don't have good jobs or a nice house and think you'll judge them for it. [/quote]
