I didn't attend my friend's party now she is MAD!

I am posting here to vent! I was invited to a surprise birthday party by my friend's husband via email for my friend. Well, I don't check my email on a regular basis not to mention that some of my messages go to spam.

My friend who the party was for is now p'oed with ME for not ATTENDING her party. I told her that I do not check my email all the time so I didn't see the invite or maybe I accidentally deleted it. No matter what I say she is not buying it. WTF!!!!!!!!!!

What should I do? I told her the effin' truth!

I posted this in MM too because it's not always busy here.

  • Let her cool off.  If she's still being asshat about it, find a new friend.  She seems very self centered and high maintenance.  Lots of people don't check their email.  Her DH should have called you when he didn't hear back.

  • The little Birthday Girl needs to get over herself. It was an honest mistake, you explained, and she doesn't "believe" you? Ew. I wouldn't lose any sleep over it, she sounds like a pill.

  • Really? She's going to be mad because you didn't get an e-vite to her party and didn't come? It's an honest mistake on everyone's part and no one is to blame. Does she usually blow up about things for no good reason? 
  • I know of somebody who is just like your friend.

    She asked 4 neighbors of mine to a party she was having last month; the neighbors could not make it.

    They cancelled last minute, as in the day before.

    I can see the point in being pissed off; you did the lion's share of the cooking and now you're going to have too many leftovers --- but here is the thing --- she got pissed off and then vehement. And dug deeper and deeper and went on and on about why they were wrong to cancel --- and got out of hand with being angry. she acted like it was an international incident.

    I suggest you let her cool off. Don't even encroach the subject again -- and if she's still giving you sh!t about the party in another 3 weeks or so (when the incident should be forgotten) rethink her as a friend.

  • How old is the birthday girl? 12? 

    Agree with PP, let her cool off and calm down. TBO, I'd be rethinking this friendship. Does she have control issues? 

  • Don't feel bad, you did nothing wrong.  These things happen.  Even if you did see the email, you could have had plans for that day.

    I know someone like this and I am not friends with her anymore.  She expected everyone's lives to revolve around her and when they didn't, she accused them of being a bad friend. 

  • She turned 30.Some of you called it. Everything has to be about her. In fact, I'm willing to bet that if her husband did not have a 30th bash they would have ended up in marriage counseling or something. I don't see her til nest week. If she continues to bring it up then she is not a friend that I will want to keep. 

    Honestly, I don't know how her husband puts up with her. I have been distancing from her over the past couple of years. I hate people who are not down to earth and unreasonable...

  • This sounds childish, let her cool down.  If she can't get over this petty thing I seriously question her maturity.
