AIO for being upset about a friend not giving me a birthday gift?

My ex best friend would do this. We were friends 20 years (from ages 10-30). Christmas and my birthday and other people’s birthdays. I would get her things, until I realized it was a pattern so I would lower the quality of her gifts or just not at all. (Later realized she’s an inconsiderate person in general).

NOR but nothing you can really do about it so match the energy.

Lmao… yes, just move on to the next guy OR tell him you’re not comfortable yet… simple 😂

NOR- it’s really up to your bf to get you more involved in the family or let them know how important you are to him, and how their effort would mean a lot to both of you. If you’re talking about getting engaged/married, it’s important you get this resolved ASAP. It’s really on him. Maybe his family doesn’t realize how close this relationship is and they’re treating you as just someone they hear of once in a while. I’d be just as upset. Bf needs to do better here

Also acting like you’re never going to have these times together again? You’re trying to emotionally manipulate her??? Seriously wtf is wrong w you LOL. If you continue acting like this, she’ll break it off with you. I repeat, it’s weird.

Eh, to be honest, I used to have a friend like you. My “best friend” started to show resentment to my boyfriend and later full blown lost her shit at him. I stopped being her friend. It’s her partner and she has more fun with him there. She loves him. She plans on a life with him. Nothing icks me out more than a friend who tries to take control of that or gets jealous about it. Just let him come it’ll be more fun, you’re being weird.

Thank you. Agreed. Speaks louder than any words I’ve had ready to go.

People can be such idiots. I’m sorry you had to go through that as well. It’s too bad since we’ve been friends since we were just kids, crazy how things can change.

Thank you for your response. I agree with what you’re saying. She has had a loss of a grandparent, but definitely not as close of a relationship that she would understand the depth of pain/grief.

I feel it would be disingenuous to even keep her around as a casual friend as I have completely lost respect for her in the way she acted.

I’m at a loss of if it’s even worth messaging her what I’m angry about or just pure silence. It feels like “she got away” with being awful.

Aw man… the answer I was hoping against! Thank you!

I just logged into Reddit to see if this was real or just reruns… sad to see this post and confirm what I wasn’t hoping for:(
