[quote=Anonymous]If you stop hosting (which I would), don't be surprised if they miss it and want it back. We had friends we would have to parties, etc and the last holiday gathering we invited them to, the husband was so bitter and sulky about how he didn't want to be at our party, he wanted to do some other event. He hated everything and wanted to leave. They were friends with the other couples and we had food we know they like. They actually fought at our home about how she dragged him there and he was ready to leave.

I am already not a natural entertainer in that it stresses me out, but I fake it. My stomach was sick at the thought someone was miserable at my home. We never invited them over again to a holiday gathering because we figured she would insist he come and he would be unhappy and we didn't want another fight breaking out. They have tried to invite themselves many times and want party invites.

We did finally incite them to a brunch for my husband's birthday since they were his friends from before he met me. They managed much better, but me made rude comments about the fancy car parked in the driveway. It belonged to another couple there who worked their arses off for years and finally had decided to enjoy the fruits of their labor. I could tell how hurt they were, I spoke up and I was stomach sick the rest of time.

Point being-some people suck. Don't host again. Don't let them suck you in again like I did.[/quote]
