[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think this is on the host and not a reflection of your friendship.

I have a woman I’ve been friends with for 25 years, and I am confident that if her other friend group threw a party for her they wouldn’t think to invite me (or know how to contact me). It doesn’t mean she’s not my friend-just that I’m not friends with her other friends. [/quote]

+1. I'm 52. I think as we get older, friendships absolutely get compartmentalized, and you really can't be upset that friends do things without you. IT IS okay to have these feelings. We all have them. It is just important not to internalize them or blame your friends for others inviting them to do things.

I have 4 women whom I think of as my besties. Only two of these women know each other and know how to contact each other. The other 2 know each other's names, but, I doubt could get in contact with any of the others. It is due to meeting these women in different stages of life and spreading around the DMV quite a bit.[/quote]
