Finally got my first NO but...

it my FH friend and his wife. He has so few friends to invite so losing even one is hard! I don't even want to tell him. He only has 57 people invited, mostly family to my 103 some family and mostly friends of me and my parent's. I wanted a NO so badly but not one of his. This so-called friend of his didn't even write a note saying congratulations to him or anything!

Thats sad

to Graham. A wedding brings out the most dissapointing in some 'friends.' Maybe they would have been a total downer at the wedding.

That's sad. One of my friends (someone I considered a good friend mind you) declined and didn't even write a note or anything either. It stinks!

Christine,

My FH, David, had the same thing happen to him. He only has one long term friend, the rest he lost to his ex-wife. The guy did not rsvp and when we called him he said, 'oh, yeah, NAH, we always go away that week.' So I asked him, 'Oh, where are you going?' and he says, 'Ah, we haven't figured it out yet, we probably are going somewhere, all we know is we can't make it to the wedding' NICE HUH???!!! How sensitive. Yet, he's making it to the bachelor party... selfish son of a !@#$%.

Our poor FH's are in the same position. I keep telling FH that his next circle of friends will be our kid's friend's fathers.

to your FH.

That's too bad - do you think your FH will take it hard?

He's really sensitive- I know he will. But thanks guys for your support- it will make it easier when I have to tell him tonight.

He actually called my FH after getting the invite and said they were coming. That's what makes this soooo sad.

On top of it, we got another NO today that we were expecting from a close friend of mine here in CA who will be 8 months pregnant and can't travel. She included a really nice note and gave us a nice gift even though we discussed it, knew she couldn't come and I only sent an invite to show her mom

That really stinks.

I told my FH and he is so upset! It took me three days to even tell him since he is out of town and I wanted to tell him in person. He is so hurt and angry, especially since he flew 3000 miles to this friend's wedding, gave a very generous gift and this guy only has to drive an hour. He even asked if there was a note or card. And said he would have invited someone else if he knew he would just bail like this. I feel so bad- I know my FH is sometime envious of my friendships and it makes me feel so sad for him. I think men have it harder with friendships as they get older.

On a positive note, I told him all your kind words and instead of making fun, he actually appreciated your support. It made him laugh a little too that so many strangers to him would care so thanks!
