Feeling left out

Kayla, on January 25, 2020 at 7:58 PM Posted in Married Life 0 7
Hi so idk if this is even a right place but I’m starting to feel so alone at this point. My husband live in a place where neither of our families are near. We have two kids and one due in May. I’m only going to talk about this week bc it’s what important to me at this moment.
So we both play a table top game called DND. It’s like a board game, but without the board. Anyway he started a new job last summer and finally met some new friends who wanted to play. One person brought up “dudes only” so I kinda was ok with it because I had to watch the kids anyway. So we have the largest house, really only place to have these weekly game nights. This weekend’s, so today, they were going to for the first time do it at another guy’s house who lived pretty far away. Mainly bc they were all wanting a true “guy’s night”. All the other week’s the wives come too, and we don’t play just hang out while the guys are in the other room playing. But my husband was super excited to have this one time be “guy’s night”. And I was excited for him, I have a friend I was gonna hang out with to pass the time in the other town (where today’s game was supposed to be) bc I was picking him up and dropping him off (so he can drink however much he wanted to).
Well Wednesday suddenly the whole group cancelled. Abruptly. Saying not only no to this weekend, which was their idea, but no to any game ever. And apparently their problem was me. My husband even tried discussing their “problems” with me, and some were outright lies that my husband’s main friend “D” stood up for me bc he was there and stated I was never rude or never even there like they claimed. Once they pretty much admitted they made it up, they said nah still due to just being “too busy”. So I suggested two days ago “D” and my husband just go to “D”‘s house to have a boy’s night still. Since “D”’s wife was still going to her MIL. Well today earlier at work, my husband found out “D” wife would actually be there. And if she was there, she doesn’t take care of their 5mo old, D does. Which honestly I get, my husband does same when he gets home. But not if he had a friend over. So my husband wants to bail, and called to try and discuss it. Well the wife and D were like “oh no well we cooked you spaghetti and had dessert and several games (not video ones but like uno etc) laid out for us all to play”. And when my husband just told me this I felt so lonely and hurt. They were going to have a game night and I just wasn’t invited. So this compounded with how every chose to make stuff up about me, even D’s wife, just never D...I just don’t know if I have the right to be upset. The ONLY reason I was going to someone’s house in the other town was so my husband could drink and play video games with his friend. I only see and spend time with my husband once a week as is, so I would’ve loved to have this night just us and all. We obviously would be eating dinner as a family before he was going to leave...but they randomly made him an excessive dinner and didn’t even tell him. And what? Me and our girls were supposed to eat alone with their father?? And they could’ve just said we could’ve come too. Like normal ppl. The wife canceled her plans so she could hang out with them but I specifically was told I wasn’t allowed bc it was a boys night. Which I REALLY wanted him to have. Idk. Idk if I’m overreacting

    I can see why your upset or feeling how your feeling. That's questions and concerns you can speak to your husband about. And honeslty im hoping it was not purposely done. Sorry you feel like this. Makes you want to say" what makes his wife more special then I" lol but i get it. May have been mis communication. Feel better

    The whole not inviting me was on purpose. By D’s wife. D said he hadn’t really thought about it. My husband didn’t even know til today she was gonna be there. And not til he cancelled that it wasn’t even a boy’s night. Basically the wife was setting it up this way so when my husband got there he would’ve been blindsided. My husband doesn’t think I should care...but sees how it is leaving me out. But he’s more like so? Why can’t just have had dinner there? Well because for 5+ years we’ve eaten dinner together as a family. And it just seems weird to me. But it wasn’t intentional on my husband’s part. But 100% on D’s wife. She had a problem and a hand in having my husband’s weekly game night stopped. She was a part of the group making stuff up about how I yelled at her and “mom shamed” her. Her husband D said it was nonsense to my husband and said his wife is dramatic and overly sensitive

    That’s not right. I understand your husband didn’t know, but he should re-evaluate his friends and whether or not it’s worth being friends with them.


    There were moments in the beginning of our relationship when his friends would make fun of me for no reason. So FH told me he wasn’t going to talk to them because he felt like they were disrespecting me when I don’t even talk to them or interact when them. I don’t know what happened, maybe he had a conversation with them - I never asked, but I noticed they don’t do it anymore when he talks to them.
    Your husband needs to make a choice cause he’s not realizing that his choice in friends are hurting your feelings.

    Sounds to me the problem is your husband. If his friends, any of them, are speaking poorly of you or are spreading lies, he should stand up for you. He also should not want to spend time with people who do that. It’s one thing if you’re not his friends favorite person. But it’s another to be disrespectful. It can be hard to maintain friendships as people start families and move away from each other. But that shouldn’t make it where you are excluded. Seems to me there’s something else going on, or your husbands friends are just that awful.

    Thank you guys for replies! Mostly I just didn’t know if I was being hormonal or unreasonable since I am 6 months pregnant. Personally I think husband shouldn’t even be sad that these ppl don’t wanna hang out anymore, but we are relatively new here, and I was excited he made friends. But he did defend me each time and even D defended me, even against his own wife. But yea, why even be friends with those others? And we talked last night and he’s trying to come up with a way to discuss things with D where D’s wife won’t feel attacked because she often does. The whole “mom shaming” came from HER calling me and without saying hello just goes “did you use pacifiers with your girls?” And I said no I didn’t, and she was like “oh nvm”. And I thought she had a question about them since she has a 5mo, so I said “well I know a little about them still, did you have a question? I could try and help if you need?” And she was like “oh no we just had extra and wanted to know if you needed them for new baby in May”. And I was like “oh no, thanks though! I’ll keep my ear open if anyone else needs them. Or maybe bring them to the church?”
    That’s it. We got off the phone. And I was on speaker too with D sitting next to her cause he said I didn’t mom shame her, just said we didn’t use pacifiers. She made a whole post about how momshaming needs to stop. I didn’t even know it was about me
    But I feel I don’t have to be friends with her. D and my husband can just do guy things and keep working together as is. Women are hard. She’s also 22 and I’m 32.
