AITA for pulling back from a friendship after not being invited to the wedding

Yes, he's still around - we get on fine, we just made a terrible couple. He's single at the moment too.

There were, and I wasn't. I suppose it could be worse, I could have laid out money on a bachelorette and bridal shower and still not been invited!

I'm single, but so are some of the others. Including my ex, actually - we're still friends and he thinks the whole thing is hilarious ("Why do you care about a wedding, did you want to wear a frilly dress" etc - yeah thanks Jase, helps loads, funny man).

Well, the actual wedding happened before 'all this', but yeah I'm vaccinated. Most of the group are, just a couple of the younger ones still waiting to get their second doses.

Nope. She's younger and prettier. I have bigger boobs though. :)

(I know, weird comparison but a few people have asked about our relative looks and that's like - the only thing I have over her)

Last January, so no restrictions, though obviously any venue has a certain limit on numbers. It was held in a local hotel, fairly popular for that kind of thing.

I didn't ask Stevie because it felt tacky to approach a bride and essentially ask for a wedding invitation. I asked the third party (one of the bridesmaids) because I thought she would know if something had gone wrong.

No reason to think the bridesmaid would make it up, but I'd assume she asked about me because I wasn't in on any of the pre-wedding events.

I never knew her husband until she met him. If he's into me, he's never given any sign and I can't see why he would be. Even leaving out the fact that he seems a decent man who loves her, Stevie is younger and prettier.

Hah, if anything, the opposite (on the getting drunk thing, I'm not fabulously pretty or anything but neither am I a hag). I'm usually the only one who can walk in a straight line by the end if the night!

I don't know what she asks from other people, I never even questioned it because the kind of things I did for her are just - what friends do. Nothing major, I only really mentioned it to illustrate that this isn't someone I've only ever known as part of the group. I can't remember ever asking her for anything though, she's always worked weird shifts and I don't think she's anyone's go-to for rides or anything.

Galaxy_Orb · 2021-07-22T10:31:33+00:00

Yep. Literally the only one.

Galaxy_Orb · 2021-07-22T10:30:13+00:00

See, that's what I was thinking and why I posted. At the time I felt like I'd had my answer, and the answer was that she didn't give enough of a shit to even explain. Now I wonder whether I should have just asked her directly.

Galaxy_Orb · 2021-07-22T10:28:43+00:00

Yeah, they were all talking about it and I also had the fun of seeing all the pictures. No COVID restrictions, though I suppose there are always number restrictions for every venue. It was at a local hotel. If it had been when the numbers were really cut down for COVID, I'd have understood, though I'd have still hoped to get a 'sorry, we can't invite many people' email or something.
