I hate it when your friends don't act like, ya know, adults.
My friend N asked me at my Halloween party if I wanted to go to the midnight showing of New Moon. I said I didn't know cause I was a)drunk and b)might be getting a little old for all the midnight showings I may want to partake in. N then
shamed
me into going with her. So we're going tonight, N bought the tickets, she's picking me up.
I had also told our frind J that her and I would go see a matinee because hello? New Moon. I will see it a couple of times, I am that mother. I just got a call from J's husband telling me that I've hurt J's feelings and please either include her tonight or explain to her why she wasn't invited to the midnight showing tonight. @@@@@@@@
I'm just buying her a ticket and asking her to go tonight instead of explaining to her that I have other friends and I don't have to do every living thing with her at every given moment. @@@@@@@@
Aims, she had her husband call you? Seriously?

This right here? If you're old enough to have a husband, you're old enough to tell your friends directly how you feel.
Aims, you're very nice to do that.
(pause)
I would not have had kind words for that husband. I might not have had nasty words, depending on circumstances, but definitely no kind words.
She didn't have her husband call me. He did that himself. His last words were, "We never had this conversation." J would have never said anything to me, she would have left it alone.
His last words were, "We never had this conversation."
Not acceptable. Only acceptable if he was planning a surprise party for her. Not acceptable when he is infantilizing her.

Honestly, if this is the case, I don't think you're obligated to respond in any way. It seems like the husband is the one with his panties in a twist.
That's still kind of pathetic. You nice to be including her. I wouldn't.
Aims, not enough @@ in the world.
I would love to go to the midnight showing tonight but a)it sold out and 2) I have to leave for the hospital at 5:30 am tomorrow so that's not going to work. Poop. I've been reading Cleolinda's tweets about Sparklemas and I can't wait to see it.
A friend of mine asked if I wanted to see it on Sunday, and I actually turned her down. I have noooo desire to see this film, nor the first one. (I did arrange to see her the following Sunday, so she didn't feel like I was rejecting her, just the movie. Also, it's a bit of a pain to schlep down to Evanston for a film.)
