[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They didn't apologize- the whole thing is messed up.  I guess I'm just bummed as we've been friends for the last 4 years and we thought we knew them better.

I'll take the advice to not expend energy on it and move on.  [/quote]

I would probably do less with the neighbors. Make your friends outside the neighborhood.  My good friend died a few years back. We did a lot as couples. Dinner, cards, and probably 4 cruises together. After she died we expected to remain friends with her husband. He has made it clear he doesn't want to continue the relationship. Now I'm wondering if he was faking it the entire time. We're talking 12 years![/quote]

It's not about you.  Imagine how painful it would be to have to spend time with all the other couples, just like you used to with your spouse, but now your spouse is gone.  Amazes me that instead of putting themselves in someone's shoes and seeing where they may be coming from, people make it all about them. [/quote]

From FB I saw he was going to another couples home that lived closer. This was probably 4 weeks ago so that's not it. [/quote]

Not to derail the thread, but come on. You're still making it all about you. Can you even begin to fathom the devastation he has experienced? Maybe since they live closer they've been more supportive all along. Maybe he was closer with one or both when your friend was alive. You really don't know, yet your main concern is get fact that he hangs out with another couple and not the fact that HIS WIFE IS DEAD. [/quote]
