vent/whine/sad face: H's friends SOs
I don't know why, but I really want H's friend's SOs to like me. I want to hang out with them and be friends with them. Some of the other girls do hang out with each other without the guys. I'm coming to the realization this is never going to happen for me.
It's not like I'm a flavor of the month or anything, H and I have been together for 5 years. To my face they're all really nice to me and we're always making "plans" (ie oh we should go check out x place soon, we should go grab drinks, etc...) however when I actually email them to do so, emails go unanswered, people are always busy and it just never happens.
However, if H or someone else sends out an email that gets everyone together people respond pretty quickly.
I've tried telling H that my feelings are hurt and I just want to give up, but he keeps trying to tell me that I'm being too sensitive. Recently, this whole thing has caused me to withdraw from that group because I just don't want to play whatever game it is that they're playing any more. Then H gets hurt that I don't want to go out with his friends. (But we hang out with my friends less, but that's a whole different story.) So, it ends up that he'll go out with them and I stay at home or do something on my own.
I dunno if this is a vent, whine or what, but I just needed to get it off my chest.

Re: vent/whine/sad face: H's friends SOs
ugggh I hate drama like that
.
ditto eip!!
Thanks guys.
If anyone's read or seen the Help, I totally feel like Ceila Foote right now.
Do what she did, get drunk and out the "Hilly" of the group
I doubt any of those SOs ate sh*t though... Cliques suck, I hope they get over whatever is annoying/pissing them off soon.
Question: Are any of those SOs waiting to get engaged? I know I was SUPER bitter when DH's friends proposed to their gf's before DH proposed to me. It was petty, and I acknowledge it now, but I was less than nice to those FIe's until I also got a sparkly ring.

Seattle Knotties: Please page me if you send me a PM!
LOL. There isn't a "Hilly" of the group. And I can say with 99.9% certainty that no one has has sh!t either.
Nope, none of the SOs are waiting to be engaged. Pretty much everyone's married. It's pretty much all W's at this point and an FI.
It really sucks when people are fake to your face and then you think that you're making headway and then when you actually get time and wanna plan something, no one responds. that is really hurtful and I'm really sorry you're going through this. recently H has decided that his closest friends are single men so I don't have to deal with it.. and the one married friend of his that we hang out with often has an SO that i like. There is nothing worse than feeling like the odd man out.
I know this isn't the point but you know where I am if you wanna hang! I hate that on weekends H goes out and I stay home or I go hang out with my friends because H no longer wants to since I am never forced to hang out with his friends. I just wish we could hang out with more couples!
So I think we seriously need to have a GTG so we can all be friends and force our FIs/DHs to hang out and then have couple friends too. Lol.
i completely agree. jennlin, set it up! uw, please be available. k? thanks.
If we can do something on 9/17 then I'm there, but if not then I won't be back till November. Don't let me stop you though! I can join you guys later too.
9/17 works for me actually
H and I were just talking this weekend that we wished there was some equivalent of "Events and Adventures" (the singles meet-up thing) for couples. We actually do have some friends that are couples....but we don't have many similarities with them...We just wish we had more "regular" couple friends....whatever that means. Hah.
let's plan for the 17th. i'm open that day too.
squee. i think jennlin has almost everyone's email addresses. we usually decide this stuff offline so creepers don't show up. so if you know she doesn't have it, send it to her please. 
(i hope she's available that day!)
Agreed.
my currently-reading shelf:
uw, i tried to make your h and my h be friends by having them play video games together. i don't think they're interested.
and wtf...stop. the 17th isn't good.
