[quote=Anonymous]This happened to me once years ago, I was newly pregnant with my first child (very newly, I hadn’t told anyone yet), and went out to celebrate a friend’s birthday with about 10 people, some I didn’t know. I couldn’t eat anything, I had one seltzer, and left early, because I was very ill (soon after I was diagnosed with hyperemesis gravidarum). As I left, I gave one of the organizers $50 to cover my drink and a portion of the birthday girls evening. Later, she and several others gave me major flack for “skipping out on paying when they had all eaten and drunk and incredible amount”, they all paid about $100 each toward the evening and I expect the $45 I contributed toward the birthday girl was more than anyone else had. Perhaps I should’ve just declined the invitation but when I received it I didn’t know I was pregnant and I wasn’t sick yet, and it seemed ruder to cancel day of. It really soured me on those friendships, and now, 15 years later, I am not friends with them anymore. [/quote]
