[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It would make me immediately remove myself emotionally.  I might still attend things with them, but not inititiate and stop caring on any sort of deep level.[/quote]

One dinner? Okay…[/quote]

The dinner itself is not the issue. People have various groups they do things with and that's fine. It's a lot weirder when you were initially in a group and then you're out. It's also the secrecy about not inviting op, then the non-invite coming back to her so she knew she was excluded. I'm not saying I'd be rude, or say a thing about it, but the mental note is made that I am not going to be hurt again, and op did say she WAS hurt, there's a reason for that. You have to adjust expectations mentally when people show you where you stand. [/quote]

One dinner didn’t make you in or out. There is such a thing as being immature.[/quote]

There is nothing immature about recognizing how completely optional relationships make you feel, and deciding it might not be worth your efforts or time anymore. It was pretty clear from op's post that the issue is not just the dinner but general dynamics. The dinner was a symptom of that.[/quote]
