[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think I would keep saying yes to their invitations just to see what happens. I would not invite them to things, and I wouldn’t get my hopes up about their invitations.

But it seems like they want to ‘try’ so I would just keep the door open but guard my feelings. [/quote]

Thanks, OP here. I feel really manipulated and resentful, though, like I’m playing a game of not-it with a pair of 45 year olds, And its shitty behavior, pardon me for my anger, to extend invitations to 7 year olds and flake. Yes, I was dumb for telling my girl about the lunch and sightseeing invite but I wanted to assume the best, I guess. However, the assumption isn’t rational at this point.

I’m just recognizing I’m done, and that I’ve put up with this crap for years, and for my own sense of peace and love of my self, I just can’t anymore. I’m posting to try to work through this and I don’t take distance lightly but this isn’t something I ever wanted, nor ever created. My husband and I have been together for 16 years and he’s noted this pattern, and I just hoped it would improve, or that a family life would settle things. But its precisely as it has been since adulthood. [/quote]
