Dear Queenie,
We have been good friends with our neighbours for years, at least we thought we were, but when their daughter got married we were not invited. We assumed it was because they had to limit the guest list, but after the wedding they showed us pictures of the wedding and it was a huge event with a lot of other friends of theirs present.
Now the daughter is pregnant and they’re having a baby shower for her and this I am invited to, but I really don’t feel like going after being left out of the wedding.
Queenie, were they inconsiderate or am I being too thin-skinned?—Snubbed
Dear Snubbed,
It seems rather tactless of your friends to go on about the wedding to which you were not invited, but inviting you to the shower may be their way of making up for leaving you out of the wedding. You must decide how you want to take all this, as it will affect the future of the friendship.
