[quote=Anonymous]My husband and I met a wonderful couple friend 5 years ago. We spent holidays together. Our kids were close and their kids called us "Aunt and Uncle" and our kids called them the same. We were family. We loved them both but naturally during gatherings the men stuck together and the women did. Sometimes the wife and I would do girls stuff, sans the families. And sometimes the men too. Well a year ago their divorce was finalized. It was devastating to all involved. DH and I did not choose sides. How could we? We met them as a couple so our love for each was equal.

Well, all was well until I dared to accept a 4th of July bbq invitation that the ex-husband extended to my whole family. I guess she expected me not to go but I went with my children and husband. It was just the ex-husband, their children, and his family. There were no women or anything. But the ex-wife, my friend, is mad I went and refuses to talk to me or take my calls.

Ironically when we arrived on the 4th, the ex-husband said "I'm sorry I put you in this position" and I didn't know what he was talking about. What position I thought? Now I see. Why is she mad at me? Our kids are like cousins. Did she want me to not let my kids see hers on the 4th? Did she want me to send my whole family but I stay home on the 4th? I would equally have gone to her home had she invited us. We weren't choosing sides. We were just celebrating with someone who invited our whole family over.

What can I do? I miss my friend.[/quote]
