[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did you buy tickets for you and your husband or also her and her husband. If you didn’t buy her tickets I would only be mad if she knew that you were buying tickets only because they were also buying tickets. Otherwise, she might not have realized that your plan was dependent on them going.

For example, if we are going to a movie with friends and the friends can’t make it, it doesn’t matter because we will still enjoy the movie.[/quote]

This is OP and we only bought tickets for ourselves.  I did mention to my friend that we wouldn’t be going when I realized they wouldn’t be going - as I mentioned, this is not an activity my husband and I would have attended/bought tickets for on our own.  We were interested in going with them as a group, but this event is outside of our normal scope of interests.[/quote]
Did she know you were only going because you thought they were going? Usually people coordinate buying tickets. If she didn’t know, you have no reason to be upset. If she did know, then you should have told her you were disappointed they had changed your plans when she told you they weren’t going. From your description, I’m not sure she considered it a plan with you, instead of an event you both might attend.[/quote]

No, she definitely talked about it as a plan we were creating together.  Hence why she asked - more than once - and why we nailed down a day together.

As I said, I even brought it up earlier last week to confirm we were on, and she said we were.  It wasn’t until Friday that she said her husband had found this other thing to do and that they “should” be able to make it (even though the event is several states away).  It became clear there was no way they would make it.

I bought the tickets as part of our jointly decided upon plan to attend the event.  As mentioned, I would not elect to do the event just my husband and myself.[/quote]

So your last conversation was your friend said  she was still going? Are you sure they didn't actually go? [/quote]

Not OP, but it sounds like there was a conversation during which her friend said her husband was going out of town but they would still go. OP questioned how they would still make it and the friend finally admitted that they wouldn't. At least that's what it sounded like to me. [/quote]
