[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's possible that you have overthought about D and G at the funeral.  G sounds to me like the type that is friendly with everyone.  Perhaps G was just trying to be super friendly (or very kind) at the funeral to help D out.  I have done this sort of thing (at parties) when I don't know people and it might appear that I know many people very well when in reality I barely know them at all.

Having said that, I'm a sensitive person.  I think you are being too sensitive.  Don't take this the wrong way, but I don't know any adult woman that thinks that you have to invite someone along who introduced you to a second person.  The three of you can still all be friends even if the other 2 see each other more, just as long as they aren't gossiping about you.

You need to lessen how seriously you take your friendships.  Look to spend more time with your parents, siblings, and your spouse and kids (if you're married with kids).[/quote]

It is interesting to hear so many perspectives. I think your advice about spending time with family applies if they are near. In my case (NP) I have no family nearby and my only sibling lives in Spain. So my friends are my family, even for holidays, we invited a lot of our friends and their families over. So your advice can only apply to certain people and I honestly from those I know, can say most would not opt to spend more time with their families and less time with their friends. We dont' choose our families but we choose our friends:)

I know many adult women not all of course that might feel hurt in this case. Most I do not think would say anything but would keep it inside but then again if you are super close to that person, you might feel inclined to express yourself. Having gone through a very traumatic event a few years ago has changed my mindset on so many things. One thing which was a big one for me as an eternal internalizer was to voice my opinion in an appropriate way if something was bothering me, could be something at work, something my husband did, something a friend did...so in this case i might speak honestly to my friend (I have 3 to whom I am very close and are like sisters). At the very least it would make me feel better and proud that I expressed myself. To each his own, do what feels right to YOU.[/quote]
