Not going to some ones birthday party.....b/c.....

[left2right]

Ok so i need some advice,

Ill try to make this short so end june this couple a guy/girl (couple) have a bday two weeks apart. But they are combining it into one party which is fine w/e. and i dont really like/love them more of a mutal respect b/c we have same circle of friends.

Let me back track, when it was my bday earlier this year they didnt show up to it b/c it was in the city, and it around 8pm at night. - they are well known for not going to bday parties that are outside there comfort zone - the place i picked is a family restaurant.

So two weeks ago it was our mutual friends bday and she came out to the city and bitched and moaned how it was far - only takes 45 min from the rest to her place. and how it is expensive avg price per dish is 12$.

she bitches and moans how no one pays for her bday and how she always has to pay for everyone eases bday - aka split the check. the thing is she always invites ppl who short change the check and then she needs to cover the rest, and then the blame goes on to everyone else.

for her bday she picked a restaurant with the same prices as the resturant where i had my bday and the mutual friend. and what went down the grape vine is that she will order a lot of crap and then make all of us pay for it to me it seems like revenge.

So basically i dont want to go b/c she will spike the bill b/c she wants revenge. Also she didnt go to my bday, then why should i go to hers in an area which is inconvenient for me. I don't wanna be a revenge bitch but.....

maybe im not thinking with a clear head so hence thus there for im asking for advice.

if she is not really your friend, then do not go.

if you don't really want to be there, you'll have a much better time doing something else, especially if they didn't make it to yours.....

Honestly, she doesn't sound like a very good friend. I'd skip it.

Dont go for her, go for the party! \o/

 

[MiniSoda]

Well, you don't sound like you want to go anyway, so why bother?

Good heavens.

So much drama over so little.

Go to her birthday.

Enjoy yourself.

Pay the bill. Pay for her meal yourself.

Otherwise you are in danger of being as whiny and cheap as she is.

And then don't go to any dinners with her after.

You exit on the high road.

Don't go? Is there a trick question hidden somewhere there? lol

if you don't want to go - don't go. big deal. i think you're overthinking it.

I'm trying to picture having this type of friend. And I'm coming up short. I've got some poor friends, but I just make sure if they're invited that the place we're going is something they can afford. Or I offer to pay their way (quietly).

Personally, I'd go. And pay her way. And his. Again, quietly. Then there'd be no misunderstanding.
