Except there was no group discussion about this.  OP texted and asked about getting together. [b] Then they all told bad lies individually[/b] and made no attempt to do anything to salvage the situation they were all aware of.  A simple, can't this weekend how about next, would have indicated that OP was still a part of the group in their eyes.

We all know the unwritten rules of event hosting.  You can't invite 75% of a small group to something, you need to invite 100% or less than 50%.  What's more if you do leave someone out you have to assume they'll find out and be prepared.  Unless there was some pre-existing separate connection with the others, like being school classmates, the group is a group. [/quote]

No. According to OP "Last weekend, I asked these friends to hang out and everyone was busy but didn't say doing what."

This is exactly how you handle it when you have plans that don't include someone. You don't bring it up. If the person asks, you say "Oh, sorry, I'm busy then."

Those rules about percentages are for little kids. OP is supposed to be a grown-up[/quote]

No, the rules are for all ages and all events.  We emphasize them for our kids to teach them the right way.  I thought we all learned this when putting together our wedding invite lists [/quote]
