[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is who she is. She’s not going to magically change. If it continues to bother you then don’t make any more plans with her. You must be getting something out of the friendship if this has been going on for so long. Decide whether it’s worth if you continue.

Our kids get along and so do the husbands. We hung out in a larger group before Covid so I don’t think I necessarily noticed how they never reciprocated. During Covid, they were one of the few families we saw frequently so they probably came over once a week. That was fine. We were glad for the company during Covid.

I once forgot my wallet when we went out to dinner and she paid for me. She had me Venmo her my share. It just annoyed me because we have treated them to dinner so many times and this is her entire family. Half the time they came over, we would order in. The other times, we would cook for them. They have not invited us over as a family even once.[/quote]

Yeah that’s tacky she should have just picked up the bill given your history of inviting them over.

She’s cheap. She probably also is not a good entertainer and does not feel comfortable hostessing. It is what it is. Accept and decide if you still want to be friends despite this flaw.[/quote]
