[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If they invited you, knowing new neighbors personality, would you enjoy yourself? Would your dh like going over there at that frequency? Would you feel ok declining or feel like you should at least make an appearance? I have had the same feelings but different situation and hindsight and age have shown me that sometimes being left out is a blessing and you don't remember these "middle school like" feelings as much as the regret of something awkward or having to cut someone off because they are not safe (maybe they end up dragging you into some drama you don't want to be part, like divorce or fights with other friends or kid fights or bad influences). I am not saying don't have friends but if you are not included just see it as a load off your shoulders.[/quote]

OP here. These are fair questions. Honestly, I think that's part of what I've been struggling with and why this feels so ridiculous that I'm ruminating on this. If we were invited to all these outings/events, I don't think we'd actually enjoy the frequency and/or the company all that much. This is good perspective, thank you. [/quote]
